Innovative sales training for the manufacturing industry 

Adapting to new sales realities in manufacturing


For over 50 years, Mercuri International has been helping manufacturing businesses enable their people to create more value for the customer and the business. We offer targeted solutions to help you tackle critical challenges. Our tailored sales training programmes align teams across regions and roles, helping you strengthen customer engagement, improve sales effectiveness, and accelerate results.

Longer sales cycles


The shift toward complex buying and selling logic, with a focus on customized solutions and values beyond the product, leads to a longer decision-making process with more decision-makers. This increases business complexity, making the ability to manage a complex sales process critical to future success.

Increased competition and changing market conditions 


Increased tariffs, combined with fierce competition, increase the demand for the seller’s ability to position effectively, understand their negotiation values, and create customer value beyond what competitors can offer. This capability is essential to become a winner in the red ocean.


 

The risk of being seen as a non-critical supplier 


It’s crucial to understand and explain how your products help customers achieve their goals. This requires strong consultative skills, awareness of external factors, and a clear view of what matters to the customer, including financial targets, climate, and sustainability. Make sure the customer sees how your business supports their success so you are not seen as non-critical by their purchasing team.
