At its core: <strong>the shift towards e-mobility<\/strong>\u2013 and the question of how sales teams can not just follow but shape this change. <\/p>\n<h3>Out of the comfort zone \u2013 into the dialogue<\/h3>\n<p>The message was clear: <strong>Digital meetings alone are no longer enough.<\/strong> Personal contact with customers and colleagues is more important than ever \u2013 especially in a fast-changing industry. Under the motto <strong>\u201eOut of the Box\u201c<\/strong> in-person encounters were intentionally prioritised \u2013 a strong signal for real cultural change. <\/p>\n<h3>E-Mobility as a driver of new sales formats<\/h3>\n<p>Sales demands are changing \u2013 with e-mobility comes a need for <strong>flexible training formats <\/strong>that work globally but have local impact. Project leads, team leaders and sales managers must face new questions: How do you build trust across continents? How does technical knowledge become a compelling customer message? How do you stay agile in a dynamic market?   <\/p>\n<h3>Global perspectives \u2013 thinking, acting and learning together<\/h3>\n<p>Particularly impressive: a Chinese colleague\u2019s input on the automotive market in China \u2013 a market already driven by e-mobility. <strong>These international perspectives provide deeper understanding of opportunities, differences and success factors across the globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Our conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>The transition to e-mobility is not only a technical challenge, but above all <strong>a human one.<\/strong> Successful companies like Hirschmann Automotive therefore invest not only in products, but in <strong>teams, skills and dialogue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning a training format that enables change?<\/strong><br \/>Talk to us. Together, we create formats that move people \u2013 and deliver knowledge. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_button button_text=&#8221;Contact us&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.formation4you.com\/en\/contact4you\/&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Hirschmann Automotive Brings Change to Life \u2013 with a Global Perspective, Personal Exchange, and a Clear Goal: Stepping out of the comfort zone at the global sales meeting with around 100 aales representatives from all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-virtual-classroom-training-workshop"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
