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.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

I have worked with Force Management at 3 different companies where we implemented Command of the Message & Sale. At each company Force Management has helped us align internally on the value we bring to our customers, validated this with customers and in turn allowed us to deliver better value to our customers and differentiate ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

Force Management first seeks to understand the business problems you are looking to solve, where you are trying to get to and what is required to get there. There is also a vested interest in ensuring you get value out of your investment. I believe the forcing function to get different teams around a table to work on the customized content, which is then validated by customers is critical and what makes this different. Force management also continuously works on getting better and making improvements such as implementing a more robust customer success function and an increased investment in great on demand content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

As with any change management it takes a village to drive change and make it part of the operating cadence. There is nothing per se that I dislike, would just highlight the need to be realistic in your expectations and pull the different stakeholders in your business together to drive that change internally after the training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are focused on time to productivity, providing our sales teams with great content to enable them to have customer centric and value based conversations. Additionally, with Command of the Sale we are aligning internally around our sales process and what each role is responsible for when engaging with prospects and customers.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

I was selected by my company to become Force Management Certified in Command of the Message (CoM). CoM is an industry-leading sales methodology that walks sales teams through how to prove out customer value and position your solution to align with these values. My goals were to receive the certification so I can better equip our sales teams and specifically my team of Solutions Architects to work with our customers to understand and better align with their business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

The Team at Force Management has such a robust wealth of knowledge and experience that was truly invaluable as I was going through putting concept into context. Between recording myself actually presenting specific CoM concepts to doing a week-long teach back session down in North Carolina with the Force Management team, the feedback provided was helpful and easy to put into practice. I found this certification to be one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my career to date. I can 100% say that when going with Force Management, you can be assured you are receiving top notch advice from people that have years upon years of sales experience and who are dedicated to helping you succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

There is not much to not like about Force Management. If anything, there is so much content and expertise they provide that I suppose some may feel overwhelmed if they are not used to certain concepts. That being said, like with any new skill, practice really makes perfect. If you dedicate yourself to internalizing the key concepts of Force Management, I firmly believe you can propel your sales career to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

You do not want to miss an opportunity to work with the Force Management Team. Their years of experience, coupled with their unique story telling and belief and preciseness in their methodologies will challenge you to think outside the box and push you to better yourself, both professionally and personally. They are interesting, engaging and at the end of the day, know that what you do is important. They teach you how to properly communicate and connect with your customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Force Management has and continues to help our sales teams to deliver a consistent message that is based on what our customer's most value. When you are able to stop being a "sales person" and try and put yourself in your customer's shoes, you become more like a trusted advisor. For myself, I would much rather purchase from someone I can trust. Force Management teaches sales teams how to establish this trust and shows that what your company does can have a profound impact and therefore cannot be missed as a solution. I have realized when Force Management is used by our Teams, the conversation becomes less daunting. It allows us to have an actual conversation to establish this trust.

Very expensive

Also they force too much engagement and make you feel pressured to speak in front of large audiences of your colleagues to the point where you feel judged. This could be dialed down Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Force Management allows us to find a common thread in almost every interaction we have in sales and marketing settings. The basic flow is actually more important than the details.

The elements of differentiation tend to get dated quickly as the technology space in which we compete evolves quickly. Therefore it requires continuous reinvention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Force Management helped with:

After taking The Force Management training, I had the opportunity to put the tools to work on a large sales opportunity for our cloud based POS product. The prospect was looking for a POS with more functionality and marketing tools that would help them broaden their customer base to the millennial target market which they felt was not patronizing their restaurant enough. Through working with the MEDDICC Exercise, I was able to identify all of their pain points and truly get to the bottom of what was ultimately driving their decision criteria. Instrumental in this approach was getting them to understand the positive business outcomes that they would experience from choosing us and focusing on how we do it better than our competition. The buyer was so pleased that he literally said, "our current provider just faxed us a quote and you have taken the time to understand our business and address our needs. This is no contest, we are going with you". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Force Management?

As far as the presentation itself, John Kaplan held my attention for the entire training which is not easy to do. It is very clear to me that this training was created by successful sales people. Through engaging my clients in the MEDDICC process, I am directly identifying and addressing my prospects needs rather than addressing what my company or what I think my clients would need prior to discovery. By not addressing products my prospects are not interested in, I have garnered their respect which in turn has resulted in increased sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Force Management?

It is hard for me to address this question because I liked the Force Management training and MEDDICC Exercise so much. The only thing that I would say I dislike is that some of the Discovery seems a little too lengthy. It seems that prospects often don't have the time or patience to go through all of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Force Management:

I would highly recommend the Force Management training. I have participated in many training sessions in my 27 years in the work force. This is by far the very best for a couple key reasons. The training itself held my attention the entire time. John Kaplan speaks with true passion and expertise. Most importantly, the MEDDICC process is effective in helping to close more sales and solve my clients needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
