What We Do | Overview
Sales at its best!
Sales is the lifeline for any enterprise and our endeavor is to transform your sales organization to become world class.
We have an acronym that embodies all the key capabilities that are required for a world class sales organization -we call it SASTRA
Sales, Art, Science, Technology, Rigor and Analytics.
Any organization that aspires for excellence needs to have SASTRA as its foundation. We build on that foundation by focusing on three aspects:
Seller Differentiation
Deep Customer / Partner Engagement
Sales Coaching
Sales skills by themselves do not mean much, if they do not translate into a customer conversation that acknowledges their differentiation. In fact, it is said that if you are not different, you deserve to be commoditized. This differentiation is aided through the power of articulation – the ability to engage in a customer conversation where the customer acknowledges the significant value of their time spent with the seller.
In sales, it is not how much you know, it is how well you articulate to engage your customer, and structure conversations that maximize value for the customer.
The backbone for seller differentiation and customer engagement is Sales Coaching.


SASTRA forms the foundation of the Sales Organization, Sales Coaching forms the spine of Sales Management and Sales Leadership.
Sales Managers and Leaders, in addition to skilling themselves up as capable coaches through the “appreciation” of coaching, must also translate coaching into business results through the “application” of coaching. Sales Coaching, when applied at the critical customer/partner interfaces, amplifies its ability to transform your business.
This triangulation of Seller Differentiation, deep Customer/ Partner Engagement and Sales Coaching has proven to be extremely effective in driving sales organizations to become world class.

There are three Go to Market Models: Direct, Indirect (Channel) and Digital.
Of these, indirect or channel sales holds the potential for scale, and digital sales hold the potential for speed.
Indirect or Channel Sales

In a way, your channel strategy is an amalgam of skill, scale and speed. Our approach to empowering your channel ecosystem focusses on two distinct elements:

Digital Sales

As Inside Sales moved beyond the telephone, digital sales took shape. Digital Sales is used to describe the mechanism for customer engagement through the power and possibilities of technology.
Advanced analytics now provide organizations with the ability to marry data from multiple sources and utilize intelligent algorithms to define the parameters for the next sales call. This closed loop approach is improving call connectivity ratios as well as reducing the cost of sales by a fair margin.
Our engagements for Digital Sales include the following.
