Regional Vice President And Site Leader
Brookfield, Wisc., Us
Recruited to lead and reimagine how to build a 200+-person Best-in-Class sales organization. First Data wanted to transform the inside sales team into a best-in-class sales organization (traditionally 80% of resources were focused on outside sales). With aggressive goals focused on doubling revenue contribution, increasing sales productivity by 30%, delivering the best customer experience measured by TNPS 70%+, and NPS 60+, high-employee engagement (85+) and building a new tech-enabled facility that enabled collaboration, fun, and innovation. The team was able to achieve 110% revenue growth in my first year and 128% increase in sales productivity. We also built new skills through training, and onboarding new technology and processes to support more bank, referral partners, and VARS. As site leader, I was able to partner with our facilities team, to locate, negotiate, and build out a new modern facility. Our new space was open, and tech-enabled to provide daily visibility to results, and recognition, and provide a great working environment for our people. We partnered with various cross-functional internal partners (marketing,CX, support), to develop an end-to-end model to improve overall customer experience (TNPS=78 up 17 points from the previous year) and reduce churn rate(by 12%). This had a big impact on the bottom line, as the team was able to drive an increase in cross-selling and upselling of other First Data products and services by 114% to our plan.
