Only 11% of sales organizations achieve commercial success while executing a Transformation: Gartner Survey

Digital Transformation Survey

A recent survey by Gartner, Inc. reveals that only 11% of sales organizations achieve commercial success amidst transformational changes.

In the Gartner Seller Skills Survey conducted with 1,026 B2B sellers between January and March 2024, findings indicate that 70% of sellers feel overwhelmed by the multitude of technologies they must navigate, and 72% report being daunted by the diverse skill requirements of their roles. This complexity significantly hampers overall sales productivity.

Further analysis conducted by Gartner from May to June 2024 focused on 234 heads of sales and senior sales leaders to pinpoint effective productivity levers for Chief Sales Officers (CSOs).

The research identified high-performing sales organizations emphasizing action-centered insights, role simplification, and systematic adaptability. Although CSOs have access to various levers for productivity enhancement, there has historically been ambiguity regarding their efficacy.

“In the past two years, sales organizations have undergone an average of four transformations,” said Greg Hessong, Sr Director, Analyst in the Gartner Sales Practice. “While CSOs have a variety of mechanisms at their disposal to drive productivity, it’s often unclear which are most effective, especially in a rapidly shifting landscape.

“That ambiguity, combined with the relentless need to hit quarterly targets, leads most CSOs to default to seller-centric solutions that have worked to drive productivity in the past. Unfortunately, these efforts are yielding diminishing returns as many sellers are feeling  overwhelmed, unable to absorb the volume of change required.”

Consequently, many CSOs tend to prioritize seller-focused interventions with predictable and immediate ROI outcomes. A notable 57% of CSOs cite a combination of manager coaching, the deployment of new or enhanced tools, and upskilling or training as their primary strategies for augmenting productivity.

Gartner’s findings emphasize three pivotal factors that indicate these leading organizations are different:

1. Action-Centered Insight and Design: Top-tier sales organizations show a data-driven awareness of seller behaviors that correlate with desired commercial outcomes. Organizations that embody action-centered design are 2.5 times more likely to rank among top sales entities compared to their counterparts.

2. Simplification of Seller Roles: The simplification of seller roles is statistically linked to superior performance. Entities that prioritize this strategy for enhancing productivity are 4.5 times more likely to be classified among elite sales organizations than those that do not. Those organizations integrate technology strategically to support roles and alleviate the burden placed on vendors.

3. Systematic Adaptivity: Organizations planned for adaptability are skillfully arranged to thrive during periods of transformation. By defining actions analytically and streamlining roles, these organizations enhance their capacity for change, facilitating more precise and targeted initiatives in response to evolving market demands.

By focusing on these structured approaches, sales organizations can more effectively guide the complexity of modern sales environments.
