The Challenge

Although Legg Mason’s unique, complex structure created an effective business strategy, the brand’s culture and narrative were not clearly understood throughout the company.

For business development, salespeople not only needed to learn, adopt and share a consistent story, they needed to believe in it, too.

The ImprovEdge Solution

Through interactive in-person small-group workshops, ImprovEdge worked with over 1,300 salespeople, giving them a greater sense of confidence, conviction and consistency in telling the Legg Mason story.

The workshops informed participants about the Legg Mason brand, and enabled them to learn and practice telling the company’s value proposition in their own way. By playing, collaborating, and contributing in each exercise, participants formulated an authentic pitch of Legg Mason’s story. This ability enabled salespeople to approach potential opportunities with ease, and strengthened the Legg Mason brand overall.
