"SAP was in need of a quick and easy coaching
solution for several of our managers in Europe.
Coaching had to be remote due to the COVID
pandemic and Pandatron’s expertise in this
approach worked well. Through their coaching
service, we saw managers achieve their short-
term goals and were able to do it in a secure and
confidential manner using industry standard
coaching strategies.”
Sales Excellence
Jeff Tanner
Director, Presales Strategy & Programs
Helped to clarify work and life priorities
Improved communication between teams
Provided insights for the management on the
underlying organizational issues
SITUATION: SAP was struggling with the trust
between the sales and presales departments. It
trickled down to a lot of smaller challenges with
processes and teamwork in general. COVID wasn’t
helping the situation.
SOLUTION: Pandatron provided a micro-coaching
service for SAP’s managers. The main focus was on
helping participants to improve presales practices,
stakeholder relationship management, and make
personal life adjustments due to COVID.
Our service:
