WHAT IS A PORTFOLIO?

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO

A product portfolio is the complete collection of

products or services that a business sells. The

portfolio may be straightforward and consist of a

single product, or it may consist of multiple,

diversified product lines

and,

WHY HAVING A
PORTFOLIO?
The portfolio approach divides potential sales opportunities into four

categories: Repurchase, Replacement, Expansion, and Innovation; then

supports sales reps in ways that maximize their performance for each type of

sale. The skill sets required to manage each type of opportunity may overlap,

but they are substantially different.

Therefore, vendors can benefit by reorganizing their sales forces and

redefining the roles of reps to best service the portfolio customers represent.

This means giving salespeople more autonomy and allowing them to function

more like account managers.

2REVIEW YOUR
RESOURCES
What can you do with what you have?

Make sure you think of products/services that are feasible for your entity at

the moment. (Money, human resources, time, reach, etc.)

Be realistic!

3LISTEN TO YOUR
PROSPECTS
There’s no better way to understand what prospects’ want than

listening to them.

Invest one or two months meeting with prospects, current partners, or

alumni, and asking questions related to our value proposition.

Understand their main pains and needs to start building your portfolio

from there.

4THINK OUTSIDE
THE BOX
Companies see AIESEC as an innovative organization full of

passionate people!

After you listen to the companies’ needs, think of something they might

haven’t seen before. They will always appreciate your efforts in

providing new solutions to their problems.

5USE THE GLOBAL


AND REGIONAL
PORTFOLIO
Work smarter not harder!

Use the global and regional portfolio as a guide. You can either

adapt or downscale most of the products, services, or initiatives

that the global and regional portfolio include.

If you have doubts of the things you can sell, reach out to anyone

in the global sales team. We’ll be happy to help :) .

EXTA TIP
Talk to the network!

We’re all working towards achieving the same goal. There might

be some entities doing something similar.


BUT REMEMBER!

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO

A business or product portfolio, is just a guide. Be

open to listen to your prospects and provide

customized solutions. They’ll appreciate it.
