From Prospect to Sales

Added Value

Market segmentation is one of the functionalities of the CRM that allows:

  1. To map our sales according to the end use our customers make with our products
  2. To maintain the segmentation at Corporate level and at GBU level up to date and consistent with the evolution of our business

With our key markets defined, the purpose of Market Segmentation is to further harmonize segments at GBU level and evaluate and define our applications and customer end use to provide operational intelligence that supports decision-making.

With such a structured segmentation in place, we can:

  • Analyze market segment sizes at GBU and Group level
  • Develop Global Customer or Market Profiles based on different criteria
  • Identify target markets and end uses and develop a marketing mix that will appeal to our customers and reveal transversal opportunities.

The market segmentation with the 4 levels, including the end-uses, is available via this link.

A global exercise started in 2014 with the involvement of all the GBU’s to co-construct 3 common levels of Segmentation (Market, Segment, Application) that represent the whole commercial offer of the Group. The Corporate Strategic Marketing is owner of those levels while each GBU remains owner of the last level of the Segmentation (End-use).
