People development · Commercial organisation design

A commercial organisation built for how customers buy today.

We design the roles, structure and incentives in sales, marketing and service so the organisation supports the strategy instead of slowing it down.

FIG. 01The situation

Many commercial organisations reflect how customers bought ten years ago.

Field sellers cover everything from key accounts to small repeat orders. Marketing and sales work in separate worlds. Incentives reward volume, while the strategy asks for margin.

The organisation was built for one way of selling, and the market has moved on.

FIG. 02What we see

Structure follows strategy, and incentives decide behaviour.

When roles match the customer segments, key account managers for the largest customers, inside sales for the many small ones and specialists where the products demand it, each customer gets the right attention at the right cost.

And when incentives reward what the strategy asks for, behaviour follows without endless reminders.
