Roadmap sales & marketing is a medium- to long-term solution sales & marketing conducted by teams. Compared to one off sales & marketing, the sales scale will be dozens of times. As a result, Company X changed its sales & marketing strategy from improving the efficiency of one-time sales to roadmap sales & marketing; however, the sales organization could not immediately adapt. Nevertheless, Company X adapted its sales organization through trial and error, and, as a result, achieved a dramatic increase in sales. This paper analyzes these efforts and presents them as three standardizations and one course correction mechanism. At first glance, this seems to be a case of organizational sales & marketing being superior to individual sales & marketing. However, the main aim was to switch to a superior strategy, and the organization succeeded in adapting to it later.
