Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

Force Management worked with us on several different projects. They were instrumental in helping to roll out Command of the Message/Command of the Sale at our 2019 Sales Kickoff. Paddy Mac was the facilitator and had such energy and enthusiasm. Since that kickoff, they have facilitated Command of the Message/Command of the Sale at two new new hire training sessions in June 2019 and August 2019. In addition, we have worked closely with the FM team to provide opportunity coaching for our global sales leadership team. In December, both myself and Lisa Robinson, Global Sales Enablement Manager, successfully completed the T3 sessions as well as certification to facilitate Command of the Message at our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

The Force Management team defines what professionalism looks like. They are always responsive, helpful and informative when we have reached out for assistance. Our FM team in particular has been amazing to work with. Dale Monnin and Antonella O'Day were amazing at the T3 sessions, and Ralston McCracken was so supportive and helpful during our audit. The methodology is highly valuable, and the facilitators are extremely knowledgeable. They take the time to understand your business before facilitating any training so that they seem like part of your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

The only downside I would say is cost. Everything seems to have a price on it. Now, realizing this is a business, I understand that there is a cost to the services, but it seems like some things should be included in some services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

This is a fantastic organization with a wealth of knowledge in various aspects of business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are now able to provide a next level new hire training and ongoing development for our sales teams and leaders because of what we have learned from Force Management. Command of the Message is such a valuable sales tool, and sets our sales teams apart from the competition. The certification program enables businesses to take this methodology and make it their own so that employees will connect and understand the value it provides. We will be able to get our new hires up and running and selling faster, reducing ramp time. After the two new hire trainings facilitated by FM in 2019, we had a number of individuals go above their numbers, with a few more coming quite close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

What do you dislike about Force Management?

The online (COVID year) session could have been drawn up better. I believe that the in-person session was more thought-provoking, but it's hard to control a room when everyone is scattered across the globe with wifi issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

Highly highly recommend keeping your sellers fresh and providing value selling regardless of their role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Force Management allows sellers to think differently. I completed two different trainings with Force Management - both that were centered around Command of the Message. This allows you to sell with value and fully understand what the customer is looking for before going into details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

Felt very personal. A consultant joined for 3 hours and trained us on the fundamentals of MEDDPICC. There's follow on courses that apply real deals to the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

This was implemented to help sales teams get an idea of MEDDPICC. I thought it was helpful, hardest part is finding time to do the modules while trying to close deals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Team didn't have a good knowledge of the MEDDPICC process. The force management training, videos, and reinforcements were very helpful in teaching us all about how to adopt the values Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

Our company hired Force Management to increase bookings and reduce the time it took to close deals while also enhancing our skills during discovery and making us stronger in areas we perceived ourselves as already strong. We were wrong on so many parts of our approach where we focused on how amazing we were, without spending enough time learning about the prospect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

Paddy Mac. That guy and his approach are absolutely outstanding. I have been in sales since college and have been through countless trainings and exercises that I walk away saying "yea, that was good, but I am already at quota 3 weeks into the Q so I must be doing something right." WRONG. I was so focused on what I was used to, I didn't challenge myself with anything new because I never saw value in it. When Paddy Mac started talking about discovery, cold calling, the mantra...I said to myself and my team, "pay attention...this is different." He made me rethink everything from the initial statement I made, to discovery, to close. I haven't looked back since. My approach is new and flavored with Command Of the Message and it has made me and my team the strongest we have ever been. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

Absolutely nothing. Paddy and his approach were absolutely perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

You think you are the best, but you're not. Force Management will make you the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving problems with getting interest generated with prospects, like everyone else. We have realized that they really don't want to hear about us until they WANT to hear about us. We stay focused on who they are, what they need, how we can help them get there and it has changed everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

We tasked Force Management with helping us uncover the business value areas that we drive into our customer base and transform the way in which we communicate and solve problems for the market. We came to the realization that discussing technical value had become the norm and although it had gotten us to where we are it wasn't going to get us to where we need to be and we weren't as aligned internally as we needed to be on our message. We coupled that with process alignment to ensure we drive the best customer experience possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

The CoM framework has been easy for the reps. to digest we are 3 months into the roll out and we have seen instant value in how conversations have shifted to focus on business needs. The framework has enabled our reps. to make that shift. I'll also note that we had PattyMac (Patrick McLoughlin) as our front of the room facilitator. PattyMac energized our sales team and company for 3 days and drove engagement levels I couldn't have been more happy with. I'd highly recommend him as a facilitator. Finally, I like that the framework is built by you for you, Force Management works to hold you accountable and challenges you along the way but at the end of the day it's your messaging to your market and they don't make believe to be the experts on that front, even though at the end of it they could sell it right along side us. I've engaged with other less effective sales training methodologies that come in and tell you how to do it their way without customizing it for you, and that has always failed. I'll also note that throughout the project which is a major undertaking Force Managements Project Management team was amazing to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

No major complaints yet, Force has clearly thought out their implementations. In every major overhaul there are bumps along the way but nothing specifically to call out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

It's a big effort, make sure you are prepared to take it on. Do you're due diligence talk to leaders from other companies who have gone through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Transforming our messaging to focus on the business value we deliver rather than a point technical solution.

2. Aligning our entire organization on our core value so everyone realizes the role they play in delivering world class service to our customer base.

3.Invest in the growth and development of the skills of our staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

comprehensive tools for the sellers, structure and clear tasks. workshop and role-playing were very efficient.

keep in mind that you need to put a lot of efforts and time from your side to make this a successful project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

Lots of paper, I assume some to protect IP but I prefer everything in soft copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

if you want to align your sales force on message, vision and value selling, this is what you need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

The expectation is growth in revenue but this will take some time.

Alignment of the sellers and company on the same messages and processes that will lead to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

Force Management helped us provide a standardized approach to how we communicate & conduct business with our customers with their value top of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

The most helpful aspect of Force Management is the strategic way reps are able to approach deals with customers. They walk away from training anxious to apply the positioning to opportunities and it's exciting to see them light up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

I don't have any dislikes to provide at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had 4 companies merge into one a little over a year ago and straight away it was evident that we needed a unified way in working with customers. Implementing this training has been one of the crucial ways we've helped our company feel like one, instead of 4 silo-ed entities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

We engaged Force to train our sales teams on Command of the Message and MEDDPICC. They delivered an initial one day exec workshop, a three day deep workshop, three days of training for the entire sales team, and ongoing "fast start" training" for all the sales teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

Starting from our first sales call, the Force team was manically focused on helping us define our required capabilities to go from our current state to an ideal state and realize the positive business outcomes that we were targeting. (We learned later that this framework can be applied in our sales campaigns!). I also really like the hands on continued learning and training approach in the post-training fast start program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

It is very expensive, they definitely command a premium. You will need to fully buy in to recognize the returns they advertise. Also, in the workshops you need to have a sales enablement expert to help guide your teams toward the right objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

Your organization has to be prepared to fully buy in, across all functions. The marketing team is critical, and the exec team needs to understand and embrace the framework and methodology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are aiming to shorten our average sales cycle, raise our average sales price, speed up time to productivity for new reps, and focus our efforts on deals that will close. We operate in a highly technical, bleeding edge market, and our new reps sometimes struggle to come up to speed, so training them to connect deep tech to business outcomes is critical.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

Force Management took our field organization thru their "Command of the Message" program during our sales kickoff. We have a complex platform product and were seeking to distill our "pitch" and increase consistency with the pitch across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

Force Management framework is thorough yet practical and grounded in real world sales leadership experience. The FM team worked with us to implement the framework for our products and market - not superficially but with actual opportunity scenarios, role playing, customer interview.

In parallel, part of the Command of Message program was training in basic sales methodology - MEDDPICC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

Program is a large investment in both time and money, so needs full buy-in from participants and execs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Force Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Refinement and consistency of our value proposition to prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
