The foundation of our commercial excellence
approach is understanding margin and market
transparency. The improvement levers are twofold:
Ensure the product portfolio and new product
pipeline maximizes profit opportunity.
Ensure that costs-to-serve are recovered and pricing captures maximum value.
Understand the market drivers, how to differentiate by segment / channel to optimize the sales organization design.
Optimize the size and structure of the sales force and ensure it is properly incentivized to grow profitable business.
Ensure leads are efficiently generated and converted into profitable sales and salesforce is held accountable to KPIs and metrics.
Determine where money is actually being made at the customer, market, channel, category and SKU level by unpeeling margins and cost-to-serve.
Understand market trends, competitive dynamics, growth opportunities and customer and end-user behavior and purchasing decisions.
