Besides making sure the team delivers these targets, I am responsible for the specific market strategy to gain new customers and implementing it. I am also Key User in the Global Community for certain applications the Sales Team uses. As P&G sold its professional beauty department to Coty, we were also in the middle of the biggest transition ever in the beauty industry. • On Gain, we were the best performing market in Europe last FY. This was driven by different internal decisions on f.e. go-to-market strategy, prospect events, a real gain culture, S&R disciplines, etc. • Although we were in very chaotic times during the transition with, among others things, a supply chain shutdown of 3 weeks, a change in reporting tools and several key people leaving the company, we managed to guide the business and the Lead Team as much as possible with clear reporting, analysis and recommendations. • Trained all users in the Professional Beauty department on the new reporting tool. • Trained all sales reps/managers on the new Coty sales applications. • Used my sales field experience to improve different processes, not only in the MS&P Team, but also in marketing, supply chain and customer service.
