Tools:

The Connect 360° Assessment Tool is used at registration, as well as at 90-day and 180-day intervals, to track progress and development.  Additionally, interviews with the internal team, a Tools Assessment and Motivational Factors Study provide a comprehensive view of both the territory manager and their surrounding environment.

Related Courses:

TM 099 is used when territory manager performance is not at potential. TM 101, TM 201 and TM 301 encompass the Territory Manager Mastery Track.  The Sales Leader Track including SL 201 and SL 301 will ensure leadership is equipped to fully take advantage of TM 099.

The Connect Difference

1

The traditional academic model aims for learners to know things. Connect learners are expected to do things.

Each course has three PO’s (Performance Objectives). These are three things the learner needs to be able to do to be successful in their role.

2

All Connect OEM courses are built around the premise that the dealer is not your customer, they are a partner in distribution.

Dealers don’t need to be sold to. Dealers need to be educated, equipped, and motivated. That enables them to sell to the customer.

Service Roadmap:

A 90-Day Plan for Improvement

First 30 Days – Assessment & Analysis

Key information is gathered through a 360° Assessment, along with interviews with the territory manager, sales leader, inside sales support, and counterparts. A Tools Assessment, Motivational Factors Study, and evaluation of expectation clarity are conducted to build a complete picture of the manager and their environment.

Second 30 Days – Implementation & Adjustments

A targeted improvement plan is developed and implemented based on the findings. This plan may include recommended changes not only for the territory manager but also for the surrounding factors that impact their success.

Final 30 Days – Monitoring & Adaptation

Progress is closely monitored, the effectiveness of changes is assessed, and necessary adjustments are made to ensure long-term improvement.

At 90 days, two critical questions must be answered:

  1. Can this territory manager be successful?
  2. What conditions are required for their success?

From there, the OEM must determine whether the necessary environment can and will be provided to support ongoing success.
