INTRODUCTION

At Progility Consulting, we help companies unlock the next wave of growth through a structured, insight-led approach to Sales Acceleration. Our work spans both industrial product companies leveraging retail and channel partners, as well as B2B and B2C services businesses looking to strengthen their sales engine.

In an increasingly competitive environment, businesses face multiple barriers to sustainable sales growth and research across industry sectors highlight some important goals.

  • Only 14% of companies say their customer value proposition is well understood and consistently used by their sales teams
  • 60% of sales teams struggle with inconsistent lead quality and pipeline leakage
  • 50% of B2B companies lack clearly defined sales processes, leading to lost opportunities and longer sales cycles
  • Breakdowns across the SPANCO funnel are common—many companies lack clarity on lead qualification (Suspect → Prospect), structured approaches to engagement, or discipline in follow-up during the negotiation and closure phases
  • In B2B sales, over 50% of deals stall at the “Approach” or “Negotiation” stage due to unclear messaging, unprepared teams, or poor buyer understanding
  • 70% of field sales reps’ time is spent on non-selling activities such as reporting, coordination, or admin tasks
  • 70% of manufacturers lack visibility into how their channel partners are performing
  • 50% of channel partners say they don’t receive adequate support or tools to effectively sell the manufacturer’s products
  • Digital selling tools are underused, with fewer than 40% of businesses leveraging CRM & Digital Sales to drive sales actions effectively
"Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things – and the challenge in operations lies in balancing both under ever-changing conditions."

HOW WE SERVE

We start with a rapid but deep dive into your current sales engine—teams, tools, targets, and traction. We identify quick wins and root causes for underperformance across your pipeline.

We conduct a granular market mapping exercise to identify high-potential regions, districts, or customer clusters. This helps sharpen your focus and ensure resource allocation is aligned with opportunity.

  • Map demand and customer concentration across geographies
  • Evaluate channel potential and competitive intensity
  • Prioritize high-opportunity districts or micro-markets for focused sales efforts
  • Tailor go-to-market (GTM) strategies by region

This ensures your sales team is spending time and effort where it matters most.

We define/refine:

  • Ideal customer profiles and segmentation
  • Channel strategy (direct, retail, digital, distributor, inside sales)
  • Sales force structure and coverage
  • Value propositions by segment

We map the customer journey and sales stages, remove handoff friction, and introduce pipeline management discipline with clear KPIs and win/loss analytics.

We enhance skills, develop customized sales playbooks, and design performance-linked incentive structures. For field teams, we work on improving pitch, productivity, and closure rates.

We help deploy or optimize CRM systems, integrate lead management tools, and implement dashboards for visibility and control—empowering leadership with data-driven insights.

We stay embedded to support rollout, run sales war rooms, track interventions, and drive results. Clients often see impact within 8–12 weeks.
