Sales Training Success: CustomerCentric Selling® helps Scholle® Packaging Asia Pacific Division increase revenue and expand into new, emerging markets.

Goal
When Scholle® Packaging Asia Pacific Division first employed the help of CustomerCentric Selling® business partner, Acuere, they stated their primary goal was to increase revenue and penetrate new and emerging markets to grow their business across verticals and other industries.

Current Situation
The challenges they faced in achieving these goals were:

  • Sales team focused on existing base – farming opportunities in existing customers rather than looking/hunting for new
  • Long sales cycles
  • Sales team had difficulty in calculating and aligning the value of their products and solutions (tangible and intangible) to business outcomes
