PARIS

En résumé

J'ai consacré ma carrière à diriger puis optimiser les organisations commerciales et marketing des grandes sociétés de B2B à travers l'Europe, le Moyen-Orient et l'Asie.

Internet a profondément modifié le comportement des prospects, les technologies associées permettent de doper la performance commerciale des entreprises B2B et ce à moindre coût. Dans le contexte actuel de crise économique, de demande atone et de marchés hyper-concurrentiels, tous les dirigeants d'entreprise doivent maîtriser ces nouvelles méthodes commerciales pour prospérer.

J'ai lancé neoptimal après 18 mois de préparation pour mettre à la disposition des PME et ETI françaises cette expertise complexe, éprouvée dans les grandes entreprises anglo-saxonnes, sous la forme d'un service complet, abordable, et dont nous garantissons le résultat.

Marketing
