It compiles and analyses data from a global collection of hundreds of sales leaders and managers. The data was collected during the fourth quarter of 2020. The complete report is available for <a href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>review and download here<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This post looks at the way several critical data points relating to adaptation and change management strategy in the post-pandemic era varied, depending on the size of the respondent\u2019s organization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For this analysis, company size was determined by the annual revenue of an organization as was reported by the survey participants. Here, four sizes of companies are compared:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>those with annual revenue of less than 1 million dollars,<\/li>\r\n<li>those with annual revenue of, between 1 and 10 million dollars,<\/li>\r\n<li>those with annual revenue of between 10 and 500 million dollars,<\/li>\r\n<li>and those with annual revenue greater than 500 million dollars.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Obviously, the pandemic has brought about great change in everyone\u2019s lives. This change has been both personal and professional. The SRC survey asked whether an organization\u2019s sales processes had undergone strategic change as a result of the transition to remote commercial trading. Overall, 71.4% of survey participants replied \u201cYes\u201d to that question. But applying the lens of company size to those results showed that strategic sales process changes were more likely to happen at smaller and mid-sized organizations than at the very largest ones. This suggests that larger companies have been somewhat slower to adjust to the new selling realities of the current period. Moreover, many respondents were unable to reply either yes or no to this question, reflecting an uncertainty about the effect of the transition that was most pronounced at the largest companies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Strategic changes in the sales process were more likely to be reported at smaller and mid-sized organizations, a finding that suggests that larger companies have been somewhat slower to adjust to the new selling realities of the current period.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6853 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-18-at-11.57.44-AM-1024x423.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/423;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bringing new salespeople with new skill sets into organizations, working remotely, and competing in an ecosystem that connects virtually means that selling for a living is going to be different going forward than it was before the pandemic. In this survey, the SRC asked participants if they had made or encountered any changes to the on-boarding process since the arrival of COVID-19. About three in five (62%) responded that the on-boarding process had changed. The smallest organizations were the least likely to implement such changes as indicated in the table below, while companies with annual revenues between $10 and $500 million dollars were the most likely to make onboarding changes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6854 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-18-at-11.58.31-AM-1024x598.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/598;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When asked what percentage of their sales team showed the capabilities to succeed in the new reality, the responses diverged only slightly, with the largest organizations reporting a 4-8% lower response than those of smaller companies.
