Frequently asked questions

What is the G.E.A.R. framework?

G.E.A.R. is our end-to-end change framework that turns your good practices into a repeatable operating system for sales.

 

Why is G.E.A.R. needed?

Even strong strategies stall when:

  • Every team runs its own playbook

  • Training doesn’t stick in the field

  • Forecasts are based on optimism, not behaviour

  • Change programs feel like “initiatives”, not how we actually sell

How do I change seller behaviours?

Using Sales Growth Teams G.E.A.R. framework will guide you through four connected change stages:

  • Ground – Assess the real state of your revenue engine: seller capability, behaviours, motivations, pipeline quality, and GTM alignment.

  • Equip – Your teams with the knowledge, practical plays, tools, and cadences that sellers and managers can use immediately.

  • Apply – Build the doing of the new behaviours into their ways of working with coaching on real opportunities.

  • Refine – Embed the best practices to make them the practice.

How do I baseline my sales teams?

D.R.I.V.E. is our seller readiness practice. It focuses on your people to uncover their motivation, mindset, capability, and environment.

Why it’s needed
You can’t tune the engine if you don’t know:

  • Who’s genuinely up for the change

  • Who has the skills but not the confidence

  • Who your customers actually trust

  • Where leadership, tools, or process are holding people back

Without this clarity, you waste money on blanket training and still don’t get consistent performance.

What D.R.I.V.E. does

We assess each seller and leader across five dimensions:

  • Determined – Are they motivated to change?

  • Ready – Do they have the skills, knowledge, and tools to perform?

  • Inspired – Are they bought into the mission and the value story?

  • Validated – Do customers see them as credible and commercially sharp?

  • Empowered – Are leaders, processes, and systems helping or hindering?

How do I improve the quality of my sales pipeline?

C.O.V.E.R. is our opportunity framework. It’s how we turn complex, high-stakes opportunities into a clear, repeatable path to victory.

Why it’s needed
Big deals often fall apart because:

  • The real customer problem is never properly defined

  • Internal stakeholders aren’t aligned on what “good” looks like

  • Value is vague, unquantified, or indistinguishable from competitors

  • Political dynamics and decision criteria are poorly understood

  • Proof of impact only shows up after the deal (when it’s too late)

What C.O.V.E.R. does

We help your teams structure every strategic opportunity around:

  • Challenges – What’s really blocking progress for the customer?

  • Objectives – What outcomes matter most to them, in their language?

  • Value – Why you, and why now, in commercial terms?

  • Environment – Who decides, who influences, and what’s the politics?

  • Realise – How you prove impact during the sales process, not just post-sale.

We work these into your pipeline reviews, account plans, and deal coaching sessions so they become muscle memory, not theory.

Can I do it myself?

Short answer? Yes… but it’s much harder, slower, and riskier without expert support.

Most organisations try to do this themselves.
And most hit the same challenges:

1. You’re too close to the problem.

Internal teams often struggle to get to the gritty reality — the real capability gaps, the behavioural blockers, the internal politics, and the patterns sellers won’t say out loud.
We surface the truths teams can’t easily raise internally.

2. You don’t have a unified system.

You likely have:

  • a methodology

  • training content

  • enablement assets

  • leadership expectations

  • coaching templates

But they aren’t tied together into a single operating system sellers actually follow.
G.E.A.R., D.R.I.V.E., and C.O.V.E.R. create that system.

3. Internal change rarely sticks without external pressure.

Sellers and leaders behave differently when a neutral, experienced “critical friend” is in the room.
We accelerate adoption by coaching, challenging, and guiding — not just advising.

4. You don’t have the bandwidth.

Your leaders are stretched. Your enablement team is overloaded.
Running a transformation on top of BAU is almost impossible.

5. Experience matters.

We’ve built, scaled, and embedded these practices inside global enterprises.
We’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and refined the process so you don’t have to.


The honest answer:

You can do it yourself.
But it will take longer, cost more, and deliver less certainty.

We dramatically reduce the risk and speed up the impact because:

  • We’ve done this before at scale

  • We bring the frameworks, tools, cadences, and coaching

  • We operate at “sales speed”

  • We embed change through live deals, not theoretical training

Internal teams often say:

“We thought we could do it ourselves, but we underestimated how much external structure and pressure we needed.”

We already follow a sales methodology. Why do we need G.E.A.R., D.R.I.V.E., or C.O.V.E.R.?

Absolutely — and we don’t replace what’s already working.
Our frameworks sit on top of your existing methodology to ensure it’s actually adopted, reinforced, and used consistently in the field.

Think of it like a race team:
You may have a great car (your methodology), but without the right drivers, pit crew, and race strategy, you still won’t win.

We operationalise what you already believe in — we don’t compete with it.

We have run training events before - they didn't stick. How will this be different?

We agree — traditional training rarely sticks.
That’s why we don’t run “events.” We run systems.

  • G.E.A.R. changes the operating model.

  • D.R.I.V.E. develops the people.

  • C.O.V.E.R. shapes the opportunities.

  • And we embed everything through live deal coaching, not classroom theory.

The change happens on real deals, with real customers, in real time — that’s why it sticks.
