Servane ColletteDirector, IMA (Institute of Medical Aesthetics)
“newnorth and I met through mutual contacts in the sales and coaching industry. As the director of IMA, I run and manage various departments including sales, which requires day-to-day attention, management and creativity. However, I wanted to `inject` new techniques, tips and tricks within the sales team. I also wanted the team to gain back its motivation and for an expert consultant to take a `fresh` look on our set up, skills and processes. The outcome was much more than I could have anticipated. newnorth input benefited the sales team, and the company as a whole including myself. New processes, targets and KPIs were implemented allowing the company to perform much better overall. I would only highly recommend newnorth’s services to any other business.”
