ABTF competence area: Sales & Marketing

Current situation in the industry

Production companies in the automotive market segment and the highly competitive supplier industry are under extreme cost and time pressure. This also affects sales, marketing and in particular pricing, which must be adapted to an increased cost situation and a changed market environment. In the course of internationalization, complex requirements are also being added, which pose immense problems for the sales departments of globally active automotive suppliers. Companies must react ever more quickly to changing market situations. Due to the high workload from day-to-day business and the usually scarce resources, many companies often do not use such changes as opportunities quickly enough or only react when the company has already run into financial difficulties.
