Arco's proactive, specialist, inbound team generated ยฃ4.5M in revenue and a ยฃ40K uplift year on year over six months after I worked with them.
They did it with no extra headcount and no extra spend. They did it while average quote values were actually lower than the year before.
That last point matters. The growth did not come from more volume or more money thrown at it. It came from smarter conversations.
And it did not start with closing techniques or objection handling.
It started with identity.
When I arrived, the team saw themselves as a "quotes function". A request comes in, you send a quote, job done.
Transactional.
Linear.
Email-first.
Almost no emotional engagement, because why would there be, you are just processing.
So before any sales training, we did the identity work. Who are we? What do we actually do? Why does it matter, to you, to the customer, to the business?
We repositioned them from a quotes function to a specialist sales team:
From order-takers to Opportunity Creators.
Sell first, quote second.
Call first, email second.
Every quote a door to more insight rather than a job to tick off.
The technique came after. But the technique only stuck because the identity shifted first.
You can teach someone to handle an objection in an afternoon. You cannot make it stick until they believe they are a salesperson worth listening to.
That is the work I do really well.
If your team behaves like a transactional function but you need them selling, phone me on 07834 483585 and let's talk.
DM if you really want, but a conversation is better โ๏ธ๐โบ๏ธ
