Market Leader

Waypoint was engaged by this leading footwear and accessories company to revitalize their overall sales force effectiveness. A comprehensive plan to optimize their selling structure, re-configure their compensation program, implement performance management and planning protocols, and establish their first-ever trade marketing function. All of these were combined to accelerate growth and reduce overall sales SG&A. Subsequent work to identify potential acquisition candidates and explore a one-company sales structure advanced their long-range strategic plan.

Footwear Marketer

The U.S. subsidiary of the Brazilian conglomerate Alpargatas retained Waypoint to increase the effectiveness of their direct sales force and agent network. A wide-ranging analysis of current structures and practices led to a customer segmentation that led to a geo-targeting initiative to identify the the most productive block-level customer target list. From this micro-marketing view, sales people and agents were given customer level sales targets and compensation plans were geared to reward KPI achievement.
