Sales Call Agenda & Briefing (S.C.A.B) Outline
Going forward we have a new process for Sales Calls to Prospective Customers, Existing Customers, and Licensors. The following are the steps in the process:
Barbara will be notified by the sales person immediately once travel plans are finalized.
Barbara will add the trip to the shared Sales Call Outlook Calendar
Barbara will then send the “Sales Call Agenda and Briefing” (SCAB) template to the sales person.
The sales person will fill out the following portions of the SCAB:
Customer
Date
Attendees (With Titles and Departments)
Location
Preliminary Objectives/Reason for meeting (in rough order of importance)
Request for any necessary product samples and select from a menu of available marketing materials to be sent
Request for any custom reports other than the standard reports included in all SCABs
This will be returned to Barbara immediately.
The SCAB will then be sent over to the Key Retail team to complete/include the following:
Customer/Licensor Reports
Appendix A: Rolling 12
Top 20 Items
Gross Sales, YOY Sales and % Change
Breakdown of Blank vs. Licensed Sales
Appendix B: Product Assortment
Total # of SKUs
Licensed entities carried
Categories/Brands carried
Recent Specials/Promos
Appendix C: Customer Profile
Customer Details
Chargebacks
Discounts/Rebates
etc
Misc if necessary/Custom requests for reports
High Level Site Overview (if necessary) – We will standardize this after we do a few SCABs and decide what is pertinent. (any suggested objectives to be discussed will be added to the Objectives section and be marked as “Key Retail”)
Product listing issues
Pricing issues
Potential opportunities
Misc Information (any suggested objectives to be discussed will be added to the Objectives section and be marked as “Key Retail”)
Overall customer notes
Notes from previous meetings with same customer
Feedback/suggestions
Etc
The SCAB will be completed and sent back to the sales person at least 5 business days prior to the scheduled sales call. (if feasible)
Sales person will review the SCAB and request any clarification/addition/etc as soon as possible
File will be stored in easily accessible area on S Drive. (S:\SALES\Key Retail Accounts\_SCAB)
Sales person will conduct sales call successfully!
Within 3 days, the sales person will fill out the follow remaining sections of the SCAB:
Meeting Notes (overall what was discussed/covered/etc)
The SCAB will be set up to have the objectives listed in the notes with space for written notes. “Other” section will also be included for anything else discussed)
Action Items
Should be SMART action items (Who, what, when)
Should be typed up and sent to Key Retail
The finalized SCAB will be sent back to the Key Retail team to input Action Items into Intervals. Notes will be scanned into SCAB folder
All Action Items should have an owner and a deadline.
Additional Notes:
In the cases where a meeting is set up last minute, we should still follow the procedure above but with a SCAB Lite. This means only basic reports will be included (Gross Sales #s) and high level notes from the KR team
The template for Licensors and Prospective Customers should be different
New Customers
Customer Profile with # of Stores; Sales $s; background, etc
Licensors (include Tiffany in prep)
Total Sales Rolling 12
Top customers Rolling 12
Royalty payments
It will be left up to the sales person if they would like to send the objectives to the customer ahead of the meeting.
