🌎Our Journey with a First-Time Market Entrance At Representa, we recently had the pleasure of working with a company bringing their product to Europe for the very first time. We saw their initial concerns - navigating regulations, handling documentation, and meeting the unique standards of the European market. With a solid strategy and our team’s dedication, they successfully launched in Europe, meeting all compliance requirements. Seeing their success reminds us why we’re passionate about what we do: opening doors and making market entry smoother for our clients. If you’re wondering how to bring your product to Europe, let’s connect! #MarketEntry #ClientSuccess #EuropeanMarket #Representa

Reflecting on Growth and Innovation at SKO Paris This past week, I had the privilege of joining my colleagues in Paris for Linedata’s Europe Sales Kickoff (SKO) 2025—a time to reflect, strategize, and set our sights on the road ahead. What stood out to me most was the collective energy in the room: a team united by a shared vision of transformation, innovation, and customer obsession. Whether we were discussing our wins, exploring new strategies, or building connections, one thing was clear: this group is ready to embrace challenges and turn them into opportunities. For me, the SKO was a moment to pause and recognize how far we’ve come—not just in terms of numbers and milestones, but in how we’re evolving. From modernizing our offerings to ensuring we remain a trusted partner to our clients, we are redefining what it means to deliver value in a fast-changing industry. This week also reinforced how critical collaboration is across regions. It was inspiring to see the alignment between our European and North American teams. As we move forward, this global unity will be key to driving growth, strengthening relationships, and delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients worldwide. As I think about 2025, I’m inspired by what we can achieve. Together, we’re not just selling solutions—we’re building partnerships, fostering innovation, and helping our clients succeed. To my team, thank you for your dedication, creativity, and drive. To our clients and partners, thank you for trusting us on this journey. Let’s make 2025 the year we push boundaries, exceed expectations, and solidify our position as a leader in the industry. #Teamwork #Innovation #GlobalCollaboration #SKO2025 #Linedata

Industry icon Manny de Canha delivers the keynote address at the NADA#Connect conference. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this year's Nada conference, which took place in South Africa, Johannesburg, on March 25, 2024. However, Manny de Canha's keynote address quickly gained traction, and what resonated with me the most was the nostalgia it evoked regarding the traditional methods of selling cars. It reminded me of the simplicity inherent in achieving success as a dealer. The fact that a speaker of Manny de Canha's stature delivered a keynote brimming with practical and time-tested solutions suggests that many of these strategies remain relevant today. In our enthusiasm to embrace technological advancements and cater to the evolving preferences of different generations, we may have overlooked the fundamental essence of car sales: the productivity and interpersonal skills of our Sales Executives. A discernible disparity exists between our top-performing Sales Executives, who consistently outshine their peers even in challenging times, and the rest. On closer examination of their daily routines, several key practices stand out: 💡 Prioritise making sufficient interactions with new prospects each day.  💡 Actively seeking out clients rather than solely relying on leads provided by the dealership. 💡 Demonstrating discipline and systematic follow-up with clients. 💡 They spend time face-to-face with each new client  💡 They use technology to manage their own database effectively 💡 They don't get caught up in the noise and negative talk These observations underscore the enduring importance of the Sales manager and their expectations of Sales personnel daily. Let's reestablish a culture where our sales team focuses on its core purpose: connecting with and serving new customers every day. #leadership #innovation #sales
