What makes a sales force effective? On the face of it, the 'personality' of the individual sales person can make all the difference between success and failure. Reasons for failure can lie within the individual, in which case, what intervention should be prescribed? selling techniques; qualifying; sales management approaches; reward and recognition etc. Swapping a new hire for an old one is a very common, and often very expensive intervention, which does not necessarily work.

For a sales force to be effective, a company needs to ensure that its value propositions are being presented to its customers and prospects effectively. If your value proposition does not contain a perception of genuine value or ROI for your customers then retraining or replacing the sales force will not turn the situation around. Sales is a crucial component of any go-to-market effort, but it does not exist in isolation to the rest of the organisation.
