Case Study

Growth strategy and sales transformation for a €2B+ industrials organization

OPPORTUNITY/ISSUE

Ambition to double orders but lacking a market-driven strategy.

Our client, a leading global industrial business set a goal to double incoming orders by 2030. Yet, growth ambitions were not allocated by region or customer cluster, key accounts were under-managed due to siloed business units, and the sales model was technology-led rather than market-driven.  

The organization sought clarity on which markets to focus on and how to mobilize globally. 
 

1
APPROACH/SOLUTION

Prioritize markets, focus resources, and rewire the sales model.

We built a robust fact base for the client and reframed the ambition from ‘local champion’ to ‘global player’, translating it into prioritized must-win battles.  

A global market assessment identified focus regions with tailored go-to-market moves and guided resource reallocation, including planned exits from lower-priority markets. Additionally, we designed a market-oriented structure with a formal Key Account Management organization, defined roles and reporting lines, and embedded an operating pace for execution. 

This was supported by a comprehensive change plan with communications, town halls, Q&A, and coaching.

OUTCOME/RESULT

Early proof points and a blueprint for scale.

In the first full year, the company realized +15% organic growth in order intake and achieved ~20% reduction in sales costs in priority markets. This accomplishment created a scalable template for further regional rollout.
