What is the limit of participants you can have per class? Is there a minimum for a workshop?
M2Execution workshops are very interactive and include high touch 1:1 coaching following practice exercises and role plays. Therefore, to maximize the coaching experience, we recommend not to exceed 12 participants per training workshop. The exception is the Collaborating and Negotiating workshop that can accommodate up to 24 participants. To receive good value and facilitate powerful peer feedback, we recommend a minimum of 6-8 participants for any of our workshops.
What type of materials do you have to help me communicate an upcoming workshop with my team?
We offer two pre-workshop communication options for our clients, so you can select how much you’d like to take on:
- We write the pre-workshop communication and send it to either the Program Manager or Sales Manager to distribute to the participants two weeks prior to the workshop with a completion due date 3 days prior to the first day of the workshop.
- We forward pre-workshop communication templates to the Program Manager or Sales Manager who can customize the correspondence.
What type of preparation work is required from me prior to Sales Clinic or your other workshops?
Because participants use their own real-time new business development or current account sales opportunities for workshop practice exercises and role plays, they will have pre-work to prepare prior to the workshop. We encourage participants to complete their pre-work with their direct managers one week prior to the workshop. This facilitates collaboration and a coaching opportunity for both the participant and the manager.
What percentage of a workshop is interactive vs. lecture style?
M2Execution workshops are highly interactive and are designed to focus on the individual performance of each participant. All training workshops include baseline audio or video recordings emulating a “sports clinic” type of experience. The objective of the baseline recordings is to capture participant’s demonstrated strengths, identify current skill gaps, and target behaviors to coach to move the performance needle. Using effective adult learning and coaching methods, we present concepts, reinforce with client-specific customized models, and provide numerous practice and role play exercises which are reinforced with 1:1 prescriptive coaching to accelerate sustainable behavior change.
Do you have an offering specifically valuable during annual Sales Kickoff Meetings?
Our most requested workshop for a Sales Kick-off Meeting for Sales Professionals and Strategic Account Mangers is the New Business Development Workshop. We tailor the workshop content to meet our client’s time and training requirements. And we include the option to offer a post sales kick-off webinar to reinforce and provide additional practice and coaching opportunities.
Our second most popular workshop, Accelerate Sales Coaching Workshop for Front Line Sales Managers, can be offered prior to, during, or after the Sales Kick-off Meeting.
