Résumé
Hummingbird Chocolate is recognized as one of the world’s best chocolate makers. Now ten years old, the company never employed a sales team – it didn’t have to: everything made just sold out.
This year, the small company embarked on a multi-million-dollar expansion to increase capacity five-fold, seize national market share and develop appreciable exports. And while demand remains intense, and growing, the company seeks IRAP support in establishing cutting edge sales systems to better enable it to develop products and capture market share . From creating internal sales processes, to integration of software, training of staff and development of market intelligence functions, this project will provide the critical sales tools to grow.

Hummingbird Chocolate is recognized as one of the world’s best chocolate makers. Now ten years old, the company never employed a sales team – it didn’t have to: everything made just sold out.

Description (French)
Hummingbird Chocolate est reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs chocolatiers au monde. L'entreprise, qui a maintenant 10 ans, n'a jamais employé d'équipe de vente – elle n'en avait pas besoin : tout ce qui était fabriqué se vendait tout simplement. Cette année, la petite entreprise a entrepris une expansion de plusieurs millions de dollars pour quintupler sa capacité, s'emparer de parts de marché nationales et produire des exportations appréciables. Alors que la demande reste intense et en pleine croissance, l'entreprise sollicite l'aide du PARI pour mettre en place des systèmes de vente de pointe qui lui permettront de mieux développer ses produits et de conquérir des parts de marché. De la création de processus de vente internes à l'intégration de logiciels, en passant par la formation du personnel et l'établissement de fonctions d'information sur le marché, ce projet fournira les outils de vente essentiels à la croissance.
