◆Background to Achievement: Worsening "Sales Personnel Shortage" and "Escape from Siloed Operations"

In recent years, labor shortages due to the "era of oversupply of goods" and the declining working population have become urgent issues for many companies. In particular, securing and retaining excellent sales personnel, who are the "front-line sales combat power," is a crucial factor that influences business growth. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to transition from traditional, person-dependent sales methods based on "intuition and experience" to a scientific sales process (Sales DX) that builds "winning pattern schemes" using data and technology (SFA/CRM, etc.).

In response to these societal challenges, we have advocated for a new normal of "sales consulting," which distinguishes itself from mere "sales agency," and have provided solutions that combine advanced methodologies held by top salespeople in various industries with "cutting-edge digital tool utilization." Our "quality-first principle," coupled with a system that provides end-to-end support from upstream strategy planning to downstream high-end execution support and retention support for in-house development, has been highly acclaimed, leading to these achievements in our fifth year of operation.
