Industry‑Specific Leadership Pathways

What this programme is

Context changes everything. This programme builds sales leadership capability with sector‑specific scenarios, language and governance—so managers coach what actually happens in your market. Whether it’s FCA‑conscious conversations in Financial Services, deeply technical proof points in SaaS, or compliant clinical discussions in Healthcare, managers practise the right moves and embed them into weekly cadence.

Who it’s for

• Organisations in regulated or complex sectors where context and compliance matter.
  
  
• Sales managers who need credible coaching examples their teams will respect.
  
  
• Enablement leaders tasked with rolling out training globally without governance friction.
  
  

What managers will do (and repeat)

• Coach sector‑real scenarios: discovery, objections and value stories tailored to your buyers.
  
  
• Use compliant prompts: approved phrasing, do‑don’t lists and escalation paths.
  
  
• Run evidence‑first reviews: notes quality, next‑step strength and risk flags grounded in sector standards.
  
  
• Calibrate quality: share clips and artefacts to align “what good looks like”.
  
  

Format & timeline

• Discovery (2–3 weeks): map sector standards, regulatory boundaries and buyer language; agree success metrics.
  
  
• Pilot (60–90 days): deliver contextual practice with 1–2 cohorts; instrument coaching and pipeline signals.
  
  
• Scale: publish sector playbooks, prompts and dashboards; enable regional owners.
  
  

Tooling & artefacts you keep

• Sector playbooks with compliant messaging, discovery paths and objection maps.
  
  
• Ready‑to‑run scenario library and AI role‑play scripts matched to your ICPs.
  
  
• Inspection checklists and simple scorecards for ongoing manager cadence.
  
  

Outcomes you can measure

• Higher credibility & adoption: managers coach what reps actually face.
  
  
• Cleaner risk posture: compliant language and evidence captured in the CRM.
  
  
• Faster time‑to‑competence: new managers and hires reach standard sooner.
