Increasing competition, greater customer demands and more challenging market conditions require highly skilled sales & marketing leaders who can relate to the customer and understand his needs. Thus there has never before been such a critical need for leadership talent possessing the ability to think differently and adapt to new conditions.

Sales & marketing leaders need to combine powerful communication skills with a highly result-oriented business mind in order to secure higher profitability and market shares.

We always recommend that executives with responsibilities for commercial functions should be sharply business-oriented and extrovert. They should possess the strong inter-personal skills that are needed in customer contact and negotiation situations, and should be motivated by achieving results through other people.

Our experience in identifying high-performing sales & marketing leaders builds on many years of success in developing relations with emerging talent. In other words, we know how to identify and attract the best leaders.

There are many important factors when selecting candidates in a search process. However, we always stress the importance of personal characteristics such as enthusiasm and involvement, high energy level, the ability to adapt to new conditions and identify new opportunities, and a likeable personality, which is important in both internal and external relations.

Friis International masters the skills necessary to identify and select the most successful candidates with a background that matches the situation of the client both today and in the future.

We act as advisers and sparring partners for corporate management in order to ensure that our clients achieve the required results through a professional and targeted search enabling them to attract and appoint the best leaders in their company.
