NEW YORK, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martina Alex, creator of the SWAY system for the Agile approach to sales, has released the "SWAY Guide 2.0" to help businesses transform their sales processes.
The book, now available in eight languages, is a practical guide to implementing Agile, a system focused on matching sales teams' roles to modern needs and expectations of customers.
"The classic sales approach doesn't work anymore. Cold calls, scripts, individual KPIs, and claim management - the sales techniques we saw as acceptable just a decade ago are now not only ineffective but also annoying to potential clients," said Alex, a consultant, trainer and educator on Scrum and Agile sales.
Alex's unique SWAY system is a structure for improving engagement and communications across sales teams and developing methods to achieve leadership goals. It is founded on self-organization, cross-functionality, and a value-based approach.
"It may come as a shock, or a paradox, yet, you will sell more when you stop selling," Alex said. "Agile sales means you don't really need to sell, as people would buy your product independently because they clearly understand the value that this product provides. You do not need to ram your services or products down the customer's throat but share your knowledge with people, be honest, and be open."
Clients adopting SWAY, in sectors such as finance, healthcare, hospitality, mass media, and retail, have experienced sales growth of 43% to 120% within 12 months, she said.
The "SWAY Guide 2.0" lays out some of the key aspects of Alex's system:
- Sales associates work together as a cohesive team, and the entire team bears responsibility for the final result.
- The sales team has a Coach, who is skilled at training, facilitation, mediation, mentoring, and psychology, and helps the team to achieve super-results.
- The sales team leader has the role of Business Owner, who knows customers' needs and sets quantitative and qualitative goals.
- The sales team decides how to achieve the goals and independently distributes tasks among its members.
- The sales team's job is to create value for the customer and satisfy the customer's needs - money becomes the feedback.
"Agile is a new business mindset. It is a company culture based on creating value," Alex said. "Profit is no longer the goal - it is both an indicator of success and the feedback from our customers. Revenue growth proves that we understand the wishes of our clients and we fulfill them faster than our competitors."
