The process ran over two years and included :

  • Establishing a series of Quality and Service criteria and validating these during a working meeting with users, distributors and sales people. The overall process was then presented to the sales teams
  • Facilitating an " Action Services " team working on the sales approach, as well as behaviors needed to reduce the gap between consumer expectations and existing marketing
  • Consultants conducting monthly anonymous calls to 100 salespeople, simulating a customer requesting information. This included assessing the calls in terms of predetermined evaluation criteria
  • Facilitating, with the client, a panel of about 20 consumers every two months and transmitting the results to the "Action Services" team for appropriate action
  • Quarterly auditing of distributors and conducting "Action Services" team working meetings to review progress during the preceding three months.
