Our trainer (Vince) was amazing, 25 years of experience teaching the MH methodology. He was energetic, personal, very knowledgeable and had a great mix of teaching vs implementing. Highly recommend. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** With regards to my other comment, MH can be 'too' strategic. E.g. it doesn't teach specifically what questions to ask (e.g. like Sandlers pain funnel), although they do also teach SPIN selling. So it depends on the courses your taking. **What problems is Korn Ferry solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Globally alligning our sales teams make sure everyone follows the same systemic way to follow a strategic sales process with their opportunities. - Making sure our global sales team speaks the same language discussing opportunities ### 10.

Easy to understand and follow. **What do you like best about Korn Ferry?** That it's comprehensive and easy to understand for our sales and marketing organizations. People without the formal training can understand the processes. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** Some of the methodology is common sense stuff. They collapse into themselves if you challenge too much of the logic. ### 19. Great programs for sales development. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bryan B. | Regional Partner Expert, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Korn Ferry?** The various sales training programs Miller Heiman offers do a great job formalizing concepts that every sales person needs to be successful. Specifically, the Large Account Management Process (LAMP) does a great job organizing complex client organizations. LAMP plans help sales people identify their strengths and weaknesses as it relates to a particular account. My team often provides peer review of their colleague's LAMP plans. This peer review creates a great environment for team building. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** One of the struggles I have experienced in sales is that there are no shortage of sales systems that all offer a process to accomplish similar tasks. When working with Miller Heiman, we brought in one of their presenters to train an entire sales force. The presenter did a great job working through the process, but there was never a discussion around the value this provides. Sales people want to be good at what they do, but like any client they want to see value in something that requires time invested. I would recommend that presenters try to focus on the value so that sales teams do not feel they are just being asked to follow another process. **Recommendations to others considering Korn Ferry:** If you are on or lead a sales force and are considering sales training, Miller Heiman offers some great tools to accomplish the development of sales people. I have done self study and had Miller Heiman presenters come into my place of work to learn these skills. I would recommend that if you are considering this, invite a presenter in for formalized training. The different aspects of their program are best learned from someone that has an in depth knowledge of the different aspects of each tool. **What problems is Korn Ferry solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using these techniques to accelerate the growth of seasoned sales people. The concepts and processes Miller Heiman have taught the teams I have been on support the critical thinking required to learn without the years of trial and error. As a result of this accelerated understanding of the sales role, orders and overall business growth have been positively impacted. ### 20. Great for Complicated Sales **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David K. | National Sales Manager, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Korn Ferry?** IT forces to make the weaknesses in your sales opportunity stronger and to solve issues instead of leaving them hanging. This has been extremely beneficial in experiences even after using the product and now at a different company. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** You have a difficult time keeping momentum moving for the opportunity to close. Sometimes it really is about velocity **Recommendations to others considering Korn Ferry:** Be ready in your organization for the more complicated sale. Unilateral decisions do not fit this model well, but you have a strong tool to use when putting together a sale that can make a major difference. **What problems is Korn Ferry solving and how is that benefiting you?** We solve payment and payables problems by utilizing the Federal Reserves ACH rails ### 21.

Transparency across your accounts **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kryz O. | Global Partner PreSales and Technical Enablement , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2012 **What do you like best about Korn Ferry?** MH encourages the user to fill in several templates they call bluesheets. These sheets end up providing a clear direction for the account, who is on your side and who is not. It also provides a clear indication if you have control on the sales cycle. Great for sales meetings and large account management where you need to have a clear understanding of you accounts. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** The sheets can take time to fill in. If you have several smaller accounts to look after a large % of you time can be used up with admin. However the results are still very valuable. **Recommendations to others considering Korn Ferry:** Consider what answer you want to get from the bluesheets. They do provide transparency and put down a lot of information stored in sales peoples heads. ### 29. One of the best selling methodologies out there **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eugene C. | Partner, Venture Capital & Private Equity, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2012 **What do you like best about Korn Ferry?** I've used the Miller Heiman strategic selling methodology at multiple companies and have found it to be very effective when salespeople are properly trained on it. There are also salesforce.com plug-ins that integrate the methodology into the CRM -- or you can simply customize your salesforce pages to do something quite similar. Training is definitely critical -- but the best feature of this methodology is the transparency to the account that is shared across the account executive and sales management. **What do you dislike about Korn Ferry?** Using the MH selling methodology and filling out the 'blue sheet' can get cumbersome if it isn't a strategic account sale **Recommendations to others considering Korn Ferry:** I'd recommend picking and choosing which accounts and opportunities for which to implement this approach -- I've seen salespeople get burned out by trying to do this for everything (and then they just don't do a good job) It's most impactful for business development or highly strategic accounts in larger organizations where there is some deal navigation to do ## Korn Ferry Discussions - [What is the Korn Ferry talent hub?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-korn-ferry-talent-hub) - [What is Korn Ferry digital?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/korn-ferry-what-is-korn-ferry-digital) - [What is Korn Ferry digital?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-korn-ferry-digital) - [What do Korn Ferry do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/korn-ferry-what-do-korn-ferry-do) - [What do Korn Ferry do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-do-korn-ferry-do) - [View Korn Ferry pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/korn-ferry/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-19+01%3A27%3A57+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=21758e65-c3bb-4f79-88c0-c44ae49fe995&secure%5Btoken%5D=0cd69c6f8d91efd9112f9f06b7b28181d3f8b7025b91a36675fef783e0982a8c&format=llm_user) ## Korn Ferry Features **Planning** - Needs Assessment - Resource Allocation - Stayed within Budget - Statement of Work - Best Practices **Core - Executive Recruiting Firms** - Culture - Industry - Job Offer - References - Research **Related Consulting - Executive Recruiting Firms** - Leadership - Diversity **Advanced - Executive Recruiting Firms** - Compensation - Research **Delivery** - Technical Expertise - Met Deadlines - Meeting Management - Project Updates - Scope Management - Roll-out **Team Quality** - Change Management Skills - Executive Presence - Vertical Expertise - Technology Partnerships ## Top Korn Ferry Alternatives - [SecureVision](https://www.g2.com/products/securevision/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (496 reviews) - [SuccessCOACHING](https://www.g2.com/products/successcoaching/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (932 reviews) - [Hirewell](https://www.g2.com/products/hirewell/reviews) - 5.0/5.0 (325 reviews)
