The Challenge
The national manufacturing client was looking for direct dealer representation and sales growth in a market segment that they identified as being “overlooked and underrepresented” by their current national sales team.
The Solution
Wheelhouse 20/20 ran a pilot program with one representative in a specific territory designed to increase brand awareness, customer education, product conversion and sales growth. Based on the success of the 2013 “pilot” the client added 7 more Wheelhouse representatives over the next three years covering 8 regional territories.
