Challenge Blurb: | Worksite sales is a key part of SIT’s business model in Thailand, targeting Japanese and Thai corporate accounts. The worksite team visits the corporate clients’ office premises and factory locations to deliver seminars and conduct sales activities directly to their employees. The worksite team aims to achieve 7 times of their current sales by 2023. Last year, only 8% of their existing corporate clients were converted to worksite corporate clients; and out of these, only 20% of the employees of those worksite corporate clients were converted to SOMPO’s customers. SIT believes there is significant room for growth in this area, and that worksite sales can be an important contributor to its overall business sales goals. Currently, the point of contact with the employees of the corporate clients is limited to only face-to-face seminars and booth activities during working or lunch hours at the company’s canteen. It is challenging for corporate clients to gather all their employees for seminars or to visit the sales booths, especially so for factories with employees on shift-work. Not all employees may attend or visit the events, and even if they do, they have limited interaction time with the worksite team. Hence, opportunities to reach out to, engage, and convert potential customers are scarce. An online, digitally-enabled experience can allow customers to have more engagement with us, leading to higher worksite sales. |
