Inserted in a market where demand and competition rapidly grow, the Inkor Group has been producing and distributing materials for civil construction in the South of Brazil for 20 years. The company has achieved satisfactory growth since its founding and now is the time for further exponential acceleration with new investments. The newly hired sales manager, coming from a multinational company, has the challenge of creating strategies and conditioning the company's entry into the state of São Paulo, where a new manufacturing unit was installed, hiring and training sales teams in a short time. This case study aims to discuss the different directions in decision-making for a sales manager when structuring a penetration plan in a new market, combining modern sales management techniques with traditional ones.
