Case Study

Building capability to grow sales, reduce attrition and increase engagement

GLOBAL CONSUMER GOODS COMPANY
Client:

Unilever

A British multinational consumer goods company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. More than 400 Unilever brands are used by consumers worldwide and are currently sold in 190 countries, according them a turnover of €52 billion (2019). 

Ubiquitous in the UK, Europe and the USA, a key imperative has long been to expand into developing markets, improving local distribution and sales performance. To meet the challenges in those markets, the Unilever Field  Sales Accreditation (UFSA) programme was created: a tried and tested digital learning programme to support organisations in delivering specific goals and targets. ​UFSA content continues to evolve in line with local markets to include new product briefings, incorporation of e-Business technologies and continuing development of leadership skills to equip high performing people for their next role in the Field Sales network.​
