As part of the process Sales Transformation proposed and implemented new ways of working that supports the use of creativity in sales campaigns and bid responses in order to increase bid win rates.

Sepura was so impressed with the process and the results obtained in the UK that went on to roll out the SOP to its international sales teams as part of a three-day worldwide training event. Specifically three subject areas were identified: strategic opportunity planning and value proposition development, channel management and solution selling.
