Item Metadata only Consulting report – Natura Cosmetics SA(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2017-09-28) Alejos Ruiz, Alvaro Renatto; Sánchez Paredes, Sandro AlbertoNatura is a direct-selling company with presence in Latin America, specifically with over 22 years operating in Perú. Therefore the company is still relatively new to the Peruvian market and is attempting to gain more market share in a market which is characterized for being highly competitive with aggressive discounts and incentives. The consultants are the soul of the business and Natura Perú does not have a high satisfaction level compared to the other countries in the region. Moreover, many consultants are multi brand and with Natura Perú not offering an attractive value proposal, this further complicates the matter of satisfaction. Natura is looking at opportunities to improve the satisfaction of the consultants in their relationship with their managers. Though the problem is related to satisfaction of the sales force, it affects overall performance and limits the company from achieving their goals. The main objective of this consulting project is to address the key problem and its root causes by delivering an effective solution, which aims to improve consultant management. After evaluating all the alternatives, it was made clear that implementing a multi alternative proposal solution will have a greater impact on consultant satisfaction than just one alternative. As a result, an integrated solution was developed composed of three main components. The core solution focuses on developing a Customer Relationship Management system that will set the foundation for the other two, which include emotional and functional aspects. Regarding the emotional aspect, biophilia, on site daycare and corporate events are proposed. Functional aspects include the convenience and frequency of training sessions and the use of technology. With the proposed solution, Natura will be able to (a) develop a strong emotional connection to intrinsically motivate the consultants and (b) strengthen the consultants’ perception of Natura. Overall, this solution will allow Natura to increase the productivity of each consultant and have an annual gain of US$41,239,502 in sales revenue potential by investing a maximum of U$$342,098 with a 10% contingency fund
