Solution
We identified the required roles and competencies for the commercial strategy of both organisations.
Based on our findings, we designed a competency development program that focused on the one hand on shaping a commercial structure, and on the other hand on the development of soft skills and attitudes needed to jointly execute the sales process.
This competency development program was implemented in the commercial departments of both organisations and included post-course evaluation/coaching as well as mystery shopping to monitor progress and effectiveness.
Results
Collaboration between the commercial departments improved. Sales processes and commercial activities became more effective and efficient through sharing leads, information, analysis and more accurate targeting.
