THE METHODOLOGY OF BUSINESS AWARENESS

The empirical research and the development of the level of business awareness in sales organizations on the fmcg market in Poland for 20 years have confirmed the hypothesis that the deficit of knowledge and practical skills in the three sub-competences of business awareness covers all employees of sales departments, regardless of their position.

When conducting projects related to research, development and implementation of the level of business awareness in the sales organization, a three-stage proprietary consultation model is used each time.
