    1. Changing the mindset within the company.
    2. Designing a service that is both profitable as well as being a good business choice for the client.

The project is based on a strategic design approach with a close cooperation with A/S Chr. Boldsen, a plumbing article wholesaler. The strategic design approach entails working actively with designing a service that is desirable, viable and feasible. This has been done through a user centred approach, uncovering critical points in today’s article management.

    The project is an organizational development project that aims to transform the way we relate to our customers in sales from “technical sales” to “commercial service”, both to provide a better customer experience and to increase our sales.

    I was in a project management team with a sales manager colleague, where my role was to manage and facilitate the project and her role was to ensure the sales profession point of view. The project involved 10 of our colleaques from all over the world and through three workshops I facilitated we developed a set of recommendations for a new sales approach together with project ideas and an implementation plan.

    The initiative project statement was about defining the best sales person, but with the use of female characteristics and service characteristic the concept we propose is not just on a person level. It is a threefold proposal recommending that we need:
    1. The right profile (not gender): visualized as a persona
    2. With the right competencies within commercial service to customers (sales): made into ten sales techniques
    3. In the right organizational structure: visualized as a network

    In this project I redesigned a service product to be more user centred. This including visiting customer to get intel about the current system and the experience, through analyzing the critical aspects over concept development to a final implementation of the solution.

    After the implementation of the solution the customer's experience was raised, which led to a more loyal and satisfied customer. The project led to ensuring a higher share of wallet from the customer and more efficient processes internally.

    The concept later showed to be applicable to several other customers, thus adding more value to the business.
