“Which digital channels are relevant for our customer approach, and which market segments should we address in the future?” We answer these questions together with our clients as part of the Go-to-Market Strategy (G2M).
We segment and prioritize the relevant target markets, identify the relevant decision-makers, and derive the future customer journey for them, including relevant marketing and sales channels, key messages, pricing, and competitive differentiation. The result: A customer-centered marketing and sales strategy perfectly tailored to customer needs and growth levers.

Project examples:
Many of our clients still do not fully exploit the potential of digital reach channels such as social media, search, or lead portals for generating sales leads. Through a digital lead strategy, we increase the number of relevant sales leads for the sales department. An ideal interplay of marketing and sales activities ensures optimal lead-to-sales conversion, continuous lead tracking, automatic lead scoring, and continuous lead nurturing through marketing automation. The result is a perfectly coordinated lead generation and processing – and a significant increase in revenues.
Project examples
Customer-centered sales processes, effective customer care patterns, and an efficient interplay of field service, inside sales, marketing, and customer service are prerequisites for successful growth initiatives.
In our marketing and sales efficiency programs, we audit the existing marketing and sales processes. We identify cost and efficiency potentials, and missing competencies and align KPI-based performance controlling and system support with current best practices. The sales potentials are transformed into a roadmap with concrete implementation measures, ensuring implementation at the organizational and technical levels.
Project examples:
Restructuring or realigning existing marketing and sales organizations is a comprehensive change task, often accompanied by complex technical system and data conversions (e.g., in CRM, business analytics, and the digital marketing tools used).
Our experienced change and project managers ensure the smooth coordination and implementation of the necessary projects and measures. In case of management bottlenecks or competency gaps, our experienced interim managers take over the entire reorganization and leadership of individual teams and departments, as long as necessary, until the organization can manage further digitalization on its own.
Project examples:
Successful Customer Relationship Management (CRM) increases the ROI of marketing and sales, customer loyalty and satisfaction, and supports strategic corporate planning. In a potential analysis, we assess the economic viability of CRM optimizations and develop a clear decision template based on ROI calculation.
Our experienced consultants assist clients in defining requirements for CRM software and in selecting and managing service providers up to their introduction. In close dialogue with the implementation partners, we discuss the right system, budget, and roadmap for implementation based on the determined requirements.
Project examples
The search for growth in today’s markets is as diverse as the industries that operate in them. Each sector comes with its own set of challenges, market dynamics, and growth levers. Our extensive industry expertise enables us to tailor growth strategies and implementation measures precisely to the respective industries.
Here’s an insight into our industry-specific expertise in the field of growth strategy and implementation:
Online sales of medications and remedies are characterized by extremely narrow margins. For a leading European online pharmacy, valantic was able to increase the contribution margin by 12% through data-driven price optimizations.
In the premium segment for bicycles, customers expect model deliveries tailored to their individual needs. For a premium bicycle manufacturer, valantic achieved an 85% increase in revenue through the design and implementation of a pre-order tool.
Sales of gardening equipment is characterized by a change in the customer journey, with classic specialty retail increasingly complemented by digital sales channels. For a leading gardening equipment manufacturer, valantic was able to double the EBIT through the introduction of a digital direct sales channel.
In the fast-moving D2C business for fashion jewelry, marketing activities must be aligned with inventory levels, purchasing costs, and possible delivery times. For a global D2C brand of fashion jewelry, valantic was able to realize an additional contribution margin of 4 million euros through the introduction of a metric-driven marketing and sales control.
Even classic B2B business models can benefit from digital digital reach and lead generation mechanisms. For a European manufacturer of fastening technology, valantic was able to identify significant sales potential through digital lead generation and demonstrate it through a proof of concept.
