Please review my 30-60-90-365 Day Sales Plan

for context:


  • I am in consulting services sales (product engineering and everything within that broad remit)
  • This is for a senior IC role in a fast-growing consultancy which is in the enterprise applications (Think SAP, SalesForce, etc) implementations space
  • Consultancy's current growth (new customer acquisition) is through their organic network and tech vendor referrals
  • They want to industrialize the customer acquisition
  • I have made clear to them I will not be coming with existing contacts. They are okay with that. They want someone who can understand and articulate propositions, create opportunities and take them to closure, which is my wheelhouse
  • Their current average deal size is 0.8-1m, and sales cycles are around 6 months
  • The deck is a word salad simply because any 30-60-90 day plan can be condensed to a single line - Go Out And Sell. However, such a condensed version might not go down very well

Open to constructive criticism


  • Something I will be interested in knowing is, is my suggested cadence of meetings too aggressive in the given time frames? an ideal 'meet' is a decision maker in a target prospect with a need, budget, sense of urgency, etc ... however for this deck, a 'meet' is any stakeholder within my prospective domains

Thank you in advance

Hey Sav, some thoughts.
First slide should be an overview. I like to have mine on a line. With the milestones boiled into one or two sentence impacts.
You never say "how" in this deck. It's great with textbook cadence etc - but how will you land those 3-5 clients. Are you working off referrals, past clients, cold calling, etc. What out reach are you working with.

Also please change up the pictures. Make them a bit different. Use calendars, time themes etc. Use the white space and increase font size and find something to link the white space.

Goodluck.

Make sure that your wheelhouse (ability to create propositions, move to close) really is highlighted here.

Definitely change the pictures for every slide and do not repeat them. I'd suggest you have the formatting different for each "type" of slide. You need to visually mix it up the way that you would if you were in a sales presentation.

RE the aggressive time frame - it may be aggressive, but is it realistic? Is it something you could conceivably do or have done, and can stand behind? If you're just making stuff up and are uncertain, that will show. Would it be possible to show a range instead?

"Is it realistic?" Damn. Even I've become so excited I've had to back up and ask this to myself and make changes. Fantastic call out.

Good point about range! I donโ€™t think that meeting cadence is realistic. Better to show a range.

I haven't sold in this space so not sure what is common practice. Take the below "with a grain of salt".

In my view, nobody likes slideshow presentations. Even though yours is relatively short I would much prefer a single page document that provides an overall summary. It might be a lot to read in a single page but it is more tolerable than a slideshow. That being said I never like to get too specific with an overview/summary. I would have a more detailed plan readily available that would be longer and get into more specifics for myself, my manager, etc.

By presenting a shorter overview version some questions could arise that you can address directly and later incorporate into your detailed plan if needed.

I can put some of this but it will be guess work. I donโ€™t know enough of them at this stage to know why customers go with them

This is pretty good, nice job (strictly only looked at the content, not look/feel/present stuff).

There's probably some technology components needed in here. You will have to spend time understanding their process and technology. Even if you've used the apps before, every company has their unique deployments/configs. Also, would want to make sure the output numbers you have in here are in line with the plan the company has for you.

IMO: I generally take a people/process/technology approach to these things. Obviously the numbers, but look beyond the numbers to the day to day.

Numbers, numbers,numbers. Currently- my team is at 97% top line and 112% profit. Was told need to develop a plan to get over 100%. Have to forecast for rest of year as well. Just venting. Your only as good as your last month.
