Foundation Building Blocks

Sales Infrastructure Development

Build the essential foundation for breakthrough sales performance. Ensure the building blocks exist that separate long-term success from inevitable failure.

For most companies to break through or reach the next level, they need to ensure that foundation building blocks exist.

The presence of these building blocks does not guarantee success, but their absence ensures long-term failure!

A company may have none, some, or all of them in place, but they are ill-conceived or ineffective. Let's collaborate and leverage Vector Sales Advisor's expertise to get this right, ensuring you have the platform for breakthroughs.

How the 90-120 Day Engagement Unfolds

A systematic approach to building your sales foundation

Phase 1

Discovery & Assessment

We evaluate your current state across all 10 building blocks, identify gaps, and prioritize what needs to be built, enhanced, or transformed. This phase includes interviews with key stakeholders, analysis of existing systems, and benchmarking against industry standards.

Phase 2

Design & Planning

Working collaboratively with your team, we design the solutions for each building block—from compensation plans to sales processes to CRM configurations. This phase focuses on customization to your specific business, market, and goals.

Phase 3

Implementation & Build

We execute the plan—building job descriptions, creating compensation systems, defining processes, implementing CRM, establishing metrics, and hiring key resources. This is hands-on work where we do, not just advise.

Phase 4

Training & Launch

We train your team on the new systems, processes, and tools. We ensure adoption, refine based on early feedback, and set you up for ongoing success with the foundation in place for predictable, repeatable results.
