Saving automotive

The automotive industry is undergoing its greatest transformation in decades. Many companies that have been accustomed to stable orders from major OEM customers for years are now facing a sharp decline in demand, uncertainty, and completely new market conditions. It has become clear that relying on “guaranteed” deliveries is not sustainable in the long term — and that without active sales, there is no future.

When sales are missing, the future is missing

Many manufacturing plants today lack their own proactive sales department. After decades of comfortable order flow, the basic elements are missing: sales strategy, the ability to seek new customers, work with data, or even prepare a professional company presentation.

And this is exactly where we step in.

Interim Commercial Director: The New Engine of Your Company

We bring experienced interim sales directors to companies who:

  • build a sales department from the ground up

  • conduct sales recruitment and build a team

  • prepare professional presentation materials

  • implement a CRM system for controlled opportunity management

  • conduct client portfolio analysis for the past 5 years

  • identify new opportunities outside traditional automotive segments

How long does it take?

We typically work on projects for 6 to 12 months. Results are visible after just six months — the first new orders arrive, the sales team begins to function, and management finally has a real overview of sales figures. After one year, the company often enters a growth trajectory.

Active sales is the key to survival

The crisis in automotive is not the end — it is a turning point. Those who can now change their sales logic will survive and grow. Those who wait for things to “return to normal” will only watch as their work, people, and purpose diminish.

Do you need help with your team? We are here for you. Whether it's short-term coverage or solving complex situations, Big Interim is your partner for interim management.
