The 10 Steps for Your Digital Sales Transformation

Follow these ten steps to get the return you want from investing in modernizing your company’s sales process.

  1. Goals and Metrics – Clearly defining your goals and the metrics you’ll use gives a sense of purpose for the change. Don’t restrict yourself to KPIs related to revenue, though. Digital (or social) selling goals should be more about creating conversations with potential clients.
  2. Buyer Mapping – Identify buyer types by vertical, and map out which sales role will engage with them.
  3. Content for Sales – Create a content strategy that maps to the different stages of the buyer’s journey. Your content should answer questions the buyer may have about how-to, what-to, and when-to.
  4. Tools – Enable your team with the right tools. Vengreso recommends LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Here are a few others to round out your sales stack:
  5. Custom Playbooks – Make it simple for your salespeople to embrace digital sales with playbooks that streamline your processes. You should include playbooks for LinkedIn Profile Makeovers, messaging, search strings, scripts, templates, etc. Anything that will make it easier for your reps to adopt digital sales.
  6. Buyer-Centric LinkedIn Profiles – Convert salespeople’s LinkedIn profiles into a resource for buyers.
  7. Digital Sales TrainingCustomize training by the type of sales representative. Use a combination of on-demand training, instructor-led training, and live coaching.
  8. Gamification – Encourage your sales team to embrace the sales transformation with gamification and recognition of top performers.
  9. Analysis and Adaptation – Review your metrics from step one and adapt as needed.
  10. Continued Coaching – Coach your salespeople on an ongoing basis to identify areas where they need to improve and where they’re doing well.
