What is a typical engagement length?
Two shapes. Either a short, tightly scoped intervention — a half- or full-day training sessions, booked after a discovery brief. Or a full capability journey of 30 to 180+ days — discovery, architecture, delivery, field application, and a retention check. The shape depends on whether the gap is already known or still needs mapping.
What languages do you teach in?
French and English — both at a native-operator level. Most programs are delivered in the language of the sales team, with slides and supporting material in English or French by default so they travel across markets.
On-site or remote?
Either. Negotiation programs and role-play-heavy sessions run best on-site. Modular blocks and deal coaching work well remote. Hybrid engagements — on-site for the anchor session, remote for manager loops — are the most common format.
How do you measure whether the training sticks?
With evidence, not NPS. A post-playbook diagnostic reviews a sample of real calls, CRM entries and deals against a MEDDIC-style competency scorecard — with benchmarks against the team's top performers. Behaviour is measured, not workshop satisfaction. See a real example on the Cases page.
What is the pricing model?
Advisory work (diagnostics, architecture, interim leadership) is a fixed-fee package, scoped on the discovery call. Training sessions are priced per day. Multi-session journeys get a blended fee with an option for milestone-based billing.
Can you partner with our internal L&D team?
Yes — most engagements do. Strategiz brings the methodology, the external perspective and the field experience; your L&D team brings the competency framework, the internal stakeholder map and the long-term reinforcement. Manager cascade is wired in from day one.
Do you work outside Europe?
Base is Paris, primary coverage is Europe-wide. Programs have been delivered to teams in the UK, India, Australia, Nordics, DACH, Mexico and the US. Remote delivery makes geography mostly a non-issue.
Do you take on interim CRO / VP Sales roles?
Yes — selectively. Interim leadership is a separate engagement track, typically 3 to 12 months, sized around a defined transition (leadership handoff, restructure, scale-up of the commercial engine). One engagement at a time.
Which tools do you work with for measurement?
Call intelligence: Modjo, Claap, Gong or similar. CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce. Post-playbook diagnostics are run in partnership with agents for the adoption measurement layer. The stack adapts to what you already use.
How soon can we start?
Discovery calls are typically booked within a week. A tightly scoped training engagement can run as soon as 3–4 weeks after the brief. Full capability journeys with a diagnostic phase are scheduled 6–8 weeks out.
