Siemens: Strategy for Sales Excellence

Skiline

IBM iX consulted Sales Excellence for Siemens Smart Infrastructure in Germany on accelerating sales efficiency and engaging employees.

This included setting the north star for Sales Excellence with focus on the offer process and deriving strategic measures and quick wins to drive further digitisation and automation based on data and insights. For clients and partners this means stronger collaboration, reduced time to offer and higher efficiency as part of the sales process. For Sales Excellence, this is one step closer to their future ambition to enable the sales organisation to drive transformation.
