CASE 01 · Enterprise Software · ANZ · 1 quarter + follow-through

The team that was busy and losing

Context & Situation
A mid-market software sales team had record activity and falling quota attainment. We refocused coaching on live-deal judgement and cut low-value activity.
Approach
We isolated the decisions that separated progressing deals from stalled ones, then rebuilt weekly coaching around those moments.
Result
Quota attainment rose from 41% to 78% of reps in two quarters.
Takeaway
Less low-value activity created more space for the decisions that moved revenue.

CASE 02 · Professional Services · Asia-Pacific · 8 weeks

Coaching the managers, not just the reps

Context & Situation
A services firm’s front-line managers were reviewing dashboards, not deals. We installed a weekly deal-review cadence and judgement-coaching model.
Approach
Managers learned a common questioning model and applied it to a small number of priority deals every week.
Result
22% lift in win rate on coached deals.
Takeaway
A consistent coaching rhythm made judgement visible, discussable and repeatable.

CASE 03 · Technology · ANZ · 10 weeks

Ramping the new cohort faster

Context & Situation
A scaling team’s new hires took 9+ months to full productivity. We built a signal-based selling playbook and structured ramp coaching.
Approach
We replaced generic onboarding milestones with observable buyer signals and coached practice against real opportunities.
Result
Time-to-quota cut by ~35%.
Takeaway
New sellers reached useful judgement sooner because the playbook reflected how buyers actually moved.
