Global Transfer of Best Practices
Carlos Camarero led Rank Xerox's Wave C initiative. Wave I (to improve revenues) was successful and Wave II (to redefine sales processes) was disappointing. Carlos prepared to discuss with Rank Xerox's Managing Director (Bernard Fournier) Wave I's success, Wave II's failure, and lessons learned about best-practice transfer.
Fournier rejected Carlos’ request to re-implement Wave II. Carlos visited Colombia and Dubai to determine whether to apply their telephone selling approach (“Telemarketing”) elsewhere. Carlos had to decide whether to tell Fournier of Dubai’s revolutionary tool that could transform Rank Xerox’s sales operations or put the idea aside.

Fournier rejected Carlos’ request to re-implement Wave II. Carlos visited Colombia and Dubai to determine whether to apply their telephone selling approach (“Telemarketing”) elsewhere. Carlos had to decide whether to tell Fournier of Dubai’s revolutionary tool that could transform Rank Xerox’s sales operations or put the idea aside.
Carlos obtained Fournier’s approval to implement “Telesales” (i.e., Carlos’s renamed version of Dubai’s Telemarketing). Telesales was successful within a year of launch. Success factors were: project’s IT aspect; salespeople’s acceptance of using computers; salespeople not resisting potential added control of Telesales; and offering of a complete package.
