Context

Strengthening teams’ sales narrative

Symrise is a chemicals company that develops, produces, and sells fragrance, flavoring, and food ingredients, cosmetic active ingredients, and raw materials, as well as functional ingredients and solutions that enhance the sensory properties and nutrition of various products.

Symrise: the challenge

Challenges

The Need to Set Symrise Apart from Competitors

A renowned flavour and fragrance supplier, Symrise aimed to increase its ROI in every sales pitch made by its marketing team. However, in this increasingly competitive landscape, Symrise needed to set itself apart from its competitors and excel as an innovation leader. The team struggled with identifying their unique winning proposition and how they could tailor it specifically to different audiences across their multiple client industries, such as perfume and F&B.

Complex information that overwhelmed internal teams and resulted in an unclear narrative

Lack of emotional connection with clients on a deeper level to create an impact

Difficulty identifying and communicating their unique winning proposition

How we helped

Leveraging the Art of Story-Selling as a Powerful Tool

Over the course of 2 days, we used our business storytelling frameworks as a solid foundation to guide the team in identifying both their winning proposition and actionable methods to increase audience buy-ins.

By revamping their existing sales narrative into a highly persuasive one that included relevant pain points and an emotional connection, their sales pitch approach had a paradigm shift, making it nearly impossible for audiences to reject their new pitches.
