Getting It DoneMake it Easy

Everything needs to follow…

Buy-in & Collaboration• Every single stakeholder MUST be included• Every member of senior management and department heads

• Decisions MUST be made• CEO has veto power • But cannot impose will without considering other points of view

• Marcom/I-comm• Manage the process, ready for the blame

Requirements

•Consistent messages•Buy-in•OPEN communication channels

Delivery Channels

Be Aware of “Telephone”

You’re NOT DONE• Need SYSTEMATIC, ongoing communications• Daily/weekly newsletter• NOTHING formal• Two-three sentence status updates from each department, e.g.

• Sales lists potential customers • Tech support lists issues for the sales engineer • Marketing provides link to new version of product brochure

• Weekly “Stand-up” meetings• Ongoing communication to department heads regarding management

initiatives

All customer-facing team members need to be on the same page

The Failed SaleInside sales rep has the customer ready to

buy – Based on information he received from the product manager

The inside sales rep schedules a follow-up call with the CTO. The CTO disputes every spec made to the customer by the sales rep
