Unlocking SIM Sales Potential: Our Blueprint-Led Sales Training Pilot with Superdrug Mobile

Superdrug set out to close a striking gap: its top 20 stores were selling over 54% more SIMs than the next-best group of stores — using the exact same product, in the exact same market.

Together we ran a diagnostic, built a bespoke sales Blueprint, and piloted a one-day sales skills day across 50 stores. The pilot lifted daily SIM sales, tripled performance in some stores, and scored 9.4/10 for delegate recommendation.

The challenge

Superdrug set out to close a striking gap: its top 20 stores were selling over 54% more SIMs than the next-best group of stores, using the exact same product, in the exact same market.

The challenge was to find out exactly what those stores’ colleagues were doing differently, and design a pilot that made it repeatable across the wider estate — with proven results before any wider roll-out.

The Solution

Working in partnership, we built a bespoke sales Blueprint — a practical framework capturing what Superdrug’s best-performing colleagues were already doing, made repeatable for every store.

The programme was built around four key elements:

  • Diagnostic-led design: behaviour analytics, 1:1 interviews, in-store observations and focus groups identified exactly what high performers were doing differently.
  • A practical Blueprint: a simple three-step framework — Notice, Bridge, Recommend — with ready-to-use ‘phrases that pay’ so the approach felt natural, not scripted.
  • A one-day sales skills pilot: delivered to colleagues from 50 stores, with real practice on the shop floor, not classroom theory.
  • Built for roll-out: structured to prove the model and gather delegate feedback before any wider expansion across the estate.

Our diagnostic phase set a clear baseline across behaviours and store performance, ensuring the pilot was grounded in evidence… not a generic sales course!

The Impact

The pilot delivered measurable results across Superdrug’s 50 participating stores:

    • 42% of stores increased their average daily SIM sales
    • 4 stores achieved a 100% improvement in daily SIM sales
    • 3 stores sold three times their previous daily average
    • 9.4/10 average delegate recommend score 
    • NPS +84 from delegate feedback
    • 9.1/10 average confidence to transfer learning into store

 

By backing colleagues with a Blueprint built from their own top performers, Superdrug is turning pockets of excellence into a repeatable, estate-wide standard.
