"Influencing customers to best meet consumer needs."
CBD is more than mere "selling" – it's a P&G – specific approach which enables us to grow our business by working as a "strategic partner" (as opposed to just a supplier) with those who ultimately sell our products to consumers.
You will develop your strategic selling skills by building diverse, collaborative relationships with P&G accounts to develop consumer preferred solutions and to meet the needs of our customers and consumers. You could help a national retailer strengthen its business, or help a smaller part of our business grow into a category leader. Key responsibilities include: developing excellent working relationships with small/large retail stores to achieve business objectives; acting upon a deep understanding of in – depth shopper/consumer knowledge; increasing merchandising opportunities; and overseeing retailer promotions and events to include new product launches.
Advancement Opportunities
Customer Business Development offers increased responsibility at each level. The length of each assignment is based on your abilities and the opportunities available, of which there are many. When you demonstrate the ability to handle more challenging work, you'll be given assignments with larger, more complex accounts or that offer increased responsibility. Since CBD people need to be within driving distance of their accounts, your new assignment could require relocation. But any new assignment will be designed to help you improve your skills and prepare you for opportunities to build business and lead people. CBD opportunities are available in cities throughout the world.
All disciplines/majors considered.
