Global network of 100,000 independent distributors in the health and nutrition industry
PROBLEM / SITUATION
Company realized the biggest opportunity to improve business results was by increasing the productivity of its independent distributors. However, there wasn’t a framework to provide business-building best practices across its global network.
Y&CO. SOLUTION / IMPLEMENTATION
Yastrow & Co. designed a custom relationship building and sales program, based on Yastrow & Co.’s proprietary Ditch the Pitch sales methodology. This program was created in both Spanish and English. In the first year the program was deployed to 2,300 distributors in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
RESULTS
Program participants were promoted, based on performance, at 6x the rate of non-participants. Pay, based on productivity, also increased at rates significantly above that of non-participants. Based on these results, the company is continuing to expand the program, launching in additional countries.
