Short description of the department in general:

All activities on the sales and marketing department are focused at building our business for DNP Imagingcomm Europe and DNP Globally. The needs of our potential customers are the starting point of all our activities. We believe that an optimal customer experience is the key ingredient to achieving our ambitious goals.

We plan our activities in integrated sales, marketing and account plans. The plans combine short term goals and long term ambitions. Revenue and volume targets are of course part of our plans, but we find it even more important that they translate into a set of activities that improve our co-operation with customers and partners.

The sales and marketing team is a key partner in management discussions on product innovation, investments and organizational development. Our KPI’s are an integral part of the overall KPI’s, ensuring the company plans are properly aligned.
