Abstract

This caselet, sixth in the ‘Trinity Finance’s Sales Organization and Sales Approach’ series is meant to enable the participants to discuss how to engage with all the stakeholders and measure relationships with the stakeholders in the backdrop of Trinity Finance Ltd. (Trinity), a market leader in vehicle finance (Automobiles, Tractors, Cars, Commercial Vehicals and Pre-owned Vehicles). The company, established in 1992, started facing troubles since 2011, due to increased competition. Gautam Narang, a Senior Consultant from a well-known sales consulting firm, approached by Trinity, suggested six specific areas of improvement including measuring relationships. Trinity’s Leadership Team (LT) faced three questions before any reasonable solution could be reached for measuring the relationships at Trinity: a) Who would be the stakeholders for Trinity? b) How to engage with each of the stakeholders? c) How to measure the efficacy of those engagements/relationships given the fact that establishing and maintaining relationships would have definite cost implications?
