Optimization of Marketing, Sales and Services
Initial Situation and Project Objectives
In view of the planned motorcycle product roll-out the project aimed at further optimizing the marketing, sales and aftersales processes in order to gain additional market shares. The strongly diversified distribution network posed a challenge when it came to improving the cooperation between the sales organization and the headquarters. The distribution network consists of subsidiaries, exclusive dealerships, multi-dealerships and combined dealerships. One task was to analyze the effort drivers within the market and trade organization. In addition, it was necessary to derive short-term and medium-term measures for reducing the effort as well as measures for a further increase in performance.
