Internationaler mittelständischer Konzern im Markt für dekorative Kosmetik und Personal Care

Challenge

The company has built up a unique social selling system (direct sales 4.0) in the USA, achieving sales > $100 million within 2 years.

As part of the internationalization, the European markets are to be addressed, since they have a very strong  social media presence which offers the ideal basis for the further growth of the company.

The company has no experience in the European market and therefore needs complete support in adapting its system to market needs and launching its business activities.
