This growth strategy is based on mainly six strategic directions (themes), this design lays the foundations for this digital sales organization, subsequent programs and plans should be designed on later stages….this strategic map called “Hex-Go” consisting of six directions (themes) below:

Hex-Go strategic directions

  • Sales
  • People
  • Partners
  • Marketing
  • Customer Experience
  • Interlock, Incubation & integration – I3
six themes

Each of these themes is identified by three metrics:

  1. Objectives
  2. Actions
  3. Measures

The difference between digital sales and direct sales is basically the market size and nature of the targeted customers.

Currently, direct sales organization makes most of the revenue through working directly with large customers, however, Digital sales organization deals with SMBs thus makes less revenue.

This strategic plan is focused on increasing the Inside (Digital) Sales market share through vertical upselling to existing customers and horizontal selling to new customers.

Going in further details, I demonstrate each of the six themes and its associated metrics.
