Commercial Effectiveness Director, Multinational FMCG Supplier

 
   

We work with a growing number of suppliers and retailers to help them develop more effective relationships with their trading partners across the grocery supply chain. Every business can benefit from learning new things and we ran over fifty tailored training programmes last year to help retailers and manufacturers improve their strategic trading relationships.

Whether it is identifying weaknesses in customer engagement plans, improving category action planning, understanding supply chains or investigating cost cutting – we bring best practice solutions to your business to enable you to grow your sales and profits.

The impact we have had:

  • Thirty international FMCG manufacturers are using our customer engagement capability tool to assess and benchmark their performance across seven core competencies such as innovation, category leadership, supply chain excellence and customer management.
     
  • We advised a global food manufacturer on the benefits and challenges of developing a more strategic international trading relationship with one of its key customers. We provided an impartial perspective on the opportunities and issues to consider.
     
  • We enabled a pharmaceutical manufacturer to re-position its field sales representatives as an added value service to retailers, delivering a competitive advantage.
     
  • A European Sales Academy has been developed for a packaging supplier to assess growth opportunities by retailer and market, adapt solutions accordingly and prioritise resource.
