Loved by customers
Nikhil is one of the most persuasive and yet sensitive sales professionals I have come across. These skills actually help him take an optimal approach in challenging situations which not only provide comfort to his customer but also help him grow as he has become customers friend in times of need. For a change, a sales professional that understands, consults and is solution oriented.
I had the pleasure to work with Nikhil for a period of 2 years. While I was responsible for Service delivery, Nikhil looked after the key accounts in the Middle East. Nikhil has a strong talent to look at the upside of business while he never loses focus on the added value for the accounts. This gives him the reputation as a very competent and trusted partner as well from the customer site He knows very well how to manage customers in a challenging market and region like the Middle East. Working alongside with Nikhil as a trusted college had always been a pleasure.
I have known Nikhil as the Account Director on one of the most demanding global accounts while at Tecnotree. Nikhil demonstrated outstanding Sales skills and was capable of selling, not only to his clients but also internally. With deep technical knowledge and understanding of the Telco environment and the needs of his clients, Nikhil could map accurately requirements and successfully forecast his customer's demands, while delivering the numbers. Passionate and energetic, Nikhil takes pride of his role as a leader in sales and maintains excellent rapport with his customers and stakeholders, while balancing expectations internally. A true "lone Woolf" in Sales, Nikhil also demonstrated good management and leadership skills while motivating his Team. A pleasure to work with Nikhil, I highly recommend him as a person to trust in giving him one objective and set him free: "Bring the numbers". I was delighted to have them on time by Nikhil, Q after Q!

Product Strategy
Driving from Kotler’s 5 Ps of Marketing, as a tribute, we have formulated humble mechanism making use of “our 5 Ps” to ensure Product is seen for what it is worth. Our well thought out 5 Ps of product strategy are:
- Purpose
- Persona
- Performance
- Packaging
- Peripherals
Demand Creation
In a world that is full of consumerism and competition, relevant and ethical demand creation gains even more significance. It is not about “spending strength” anymore but about “adoption attention”.
- Market Intelligence
- Competitor Analysis
- Product Positioning
- Product Pricing
- Sales Strategy
Market Expansion
Market expansion, to me, is very similar to preparing for parenthood. It means trust, time, teachings, trainings, tolerance, turmoil and most importantly tenacity. The outcome is worth the grind.
- Markets – Lull vs Lucrative
- Products – Dull vs Dashing
- Pricing – High Vs Hygiene
- Customer – Oblivious vs Omniscient
- Value – Aspirational Vs Actual
