Case Study: Transforming Sales and Leadership at a Market-Leading Health Insurance Provider

At Lagrou Partners, we specialize in driving sustainable growth through strategic communication and leadership development. One of our standout success stories comes from a leading private health insurance provider with a national presence, renowned for its high member satisfaction rates and outstanding workplace culture.

Phase 1: Sales Development – Boosting Performance Across the Call Centre

The journey began with a focus on sales development for a team of 9 call centre staff. Through our game-changing Communication Mastery course, we empowered these employees to handle calls and emails more effectively.

Results:

• Within just 3 months, even top performers exceeded their personal bests repeatedly.

• Sales conversions improved by 20-25%, marking a significant boost in performance.

Phase 2: Leadership Development – Connecting the Head with the Heart

Recognizing the importance of strong leadership in driving organizational change, we then partnered with the senior leadership team. Seven executives embarked on a leadership development journey, blending group training with individualized coaching over a 4-month period. The CEO emphasized the goal of "connecting the head with the heart," ensuring that both strategic thinking and emotional intelligence were at the forefront of their leadership approach.

Results:

• Strengthened leadership capabilities, fostering a more cohesive and emotionally intelligent senior team.

Phase 3: Middle Management Development – Building Resilient Leaders

Next, we turned our focus to middle management, working with 16 managers over a 3-month period. This phase included both group training and individual coaching, designed to help these leaders navigate complex situations and communicate effectively with their teams.

Results:

• Managers developed better skills in conflict resolution, relationship-building, and emotional intelligence, empowering them to lead their teams with greater empathy and effectiveness.

Phase 4: Expanding the Program – Engaging the Wider Team

As word of the program's success spread, interest surged across the company. Employees were excited to join, leading management to open up a condensed version of Communication Mastery to the broader team.

Results:

• Enhanced understanding and appreciation for diverse communication styles across the organization.

• Town hall meetings became more engaging, fostering deeper participation and collaboration.

• The company experienced smoother handling of challenging situations and personality clashes.

• Increased confidence, self-appreciation, and overall employee happiness.

Testimonial from the CEO

“Bram, an experienced facilitator, has worked with myself, my senior leaders, and the broader leadership team helping us to understand ourselves and each other. We invested in this program not so we can label or pigeonhole behaviors, but to better understand each other and how to connect and communicate meaningfully. This program has lifted our ability to have conversations that may not have always been as effective. Investing in how you communicate will pay dividends for you and your business – because let’s face it, when things don’t go well, communication is always at the heart of why!”
— Scott, CEO
