Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Force Management almost every single day to ensure that sales opportunities I have in play are being run seamlessly and efficiently. I use this for my own opportunities and to work with others on my team to do the same thing. This is a fantastic tool to get strategic on deals and ensure that you have a high level of confidence in them closing.

Pros

  • Deal Cycle Management
  • Strategic Negotiations
  • Overcoming Concerns

Cons

  • Verticalized Training
  • Segments content for SMB, Mid, Ent

Likelihood to Recommend

Force Management is suited for almost every single deal and cycles so I don't think that there's a time that you couldn't find value in the content provide. I would say that there are specific verticals that are more niche and as result aren't as benefited by the material but it can still be used generally.

Force Management Review for large org

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Force Management is an easy-to-use tool, without a doubt a true sales enablement transformation framework. This also helps us optimize the time and collaboration of our Sales teams to be more efficient and wider in their deals. We use the Force Management framework in all of our business segments, including Business Development Representatives.

Pros

  • Force Management framework
  • Sets up sellers for success
  • Challenges sellers to be value driven

Cons

  • Only a few certified trainers available internally
  • 1-2 annual trainings on methodology
  • More out of the box integrations to use the framework

Likelihood to Recommend

Force Management is well suited for Business to Business organizations that are going upmarket. Orgs with Enterprise sellers, sales engineers, business development reps, and a strong supporting staff will benefit from this methodology framework. There is a decent amount of change management required with Force Management to ensure it is being implemented correctly and reps are adopting it, otherwise it may not be worth the investment

A Force to be reckoned with

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We did a company-wide Force Management training with their Command of the Message program. It was a very rich program that was well organized and personalized to our company's value proposition. They had an easy to follow guide that hosted the materials, highlighted what take home exercises we needed to complete, as well as reinforcement training. The whole training was centered on how to provide value and connect our product's services directly to the prospective client's use cases and business pain, in a way that ties directly to the outcomes they're looking to achieve with employee collaboration.

Pros

  • Discovery question flow
  • Describing value drivers
  • organized sfdc implemented workflows directly after

Cons

  • Some of the MEDPICC tenets didn't apply to all business segments
  • The reinforcement training should still be offered as a refresher - 1, 2 years later
  • A lot of the principles were focused on Enterprise, so we had to modify for smaller accounts

Likelihood to Recommend

I loved incorporating and practicing "the mantra" in my presentations and business meetings. The discovery flow is really intelligent as well because you first get a sense of where the team currently stands with their business challenges, then are able to speak to your product later. The whole idea of mapping specific services to a company's issues, using their own language and metrics, is really paramount to build rapport and see if it's possible to solve their business problems.

Leveled Up our Org

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We leveraged the for consulting services for our Sales Org.

They helped us:

<ul><li>Create our Value Framework (problems we help customers solve)</li><li>Create a repeatable process for uncovering pain related to those Pillars we identified</li><li>Trained us on how to create a narrative throughout the sales process, constantly uncovering and testing our hypothesis on the Value Pillar we will provide and Pain we discovered to continue to hone in on them as we get higher in the Customer Org. </li></ul>

Pros

  • Questions throughout the Sales Process
  • How to create Executive Summaries and align with initiatives going on within a Customer Org
  • Training on uncovering Pain/Value Hypothesis
  • Training on presenting at each stage in the buyers journey

Cons

  • Prospecting (not their focus I don't think but aligning the value to outbound messaging would be cool and how to use those pillars to see if those are focuses within the org to get the initial meeting
  • Renewals

Likelihood to Recommend

I am a new rep (1 year closing experience to date). I previously was an SDR within the org so I know how to book outbound meetings but the First Meeting, Demo, Onboarding, ROI and everything else that comes next was sort of a gray box for me. My org did a nice job training me on what to present and steps needed to get a sale however the "Narrative" of how to string those calls together and build off the last one was something that I felt was lacking that FM tied together to create a cohesive buyers journey where me as a seller is constantly uncovering pain / buying processes to align more and more to what the C level is thinking about at that Org so when we get there we make our product and that champ that helped us navigate the Org look great
