manager and my main concern was to keep everyone motivated to contribute to the team
HOW Talked individually with each one in order to frankly ask their opinion regards my promotion and
assuring to them that my main purpose were to support them to do their jobs and, together,
achieve our targets.
I created the right environment through weekly meetings (formal and informal), keeping myself
available for any request they may have (professional or personal), contacting TIM C level when
necessary to create a ‘top down’ movement and makes the thing running and making sure they
could explain their ideas and provide their ‘extra mile’ making them feel they ‘own’ the business.

nd
H 2007
SITUATION When I assume TIM account in May 2007, due BlackBerry price point too high and a very poor
Brand knowledge of our solution in the mass market (Consumer) we were successful only at
Large Account channel.
We had to improve our Smartphone penetration in other channels in order to prepare TIM to a
massive sell out in the Consumer.
HOW The way out we found was to do a deep dive into TIM SME CHANNEL promoting our solution
through a SALES INCENTIVE CAMPAING where we could educate around ~4k sales people
spread in 400 SME TIM Dealers providing also 4 face-to-face 1 day session of training bringing
around 1.5k people from all Brazil to better understand the value that BlackBerry bring to end
customer as well as how to identify a BlackBerry potential user.

that is applied until now.

SITUATION When I came on board at RIM, I could set up monthly meeting with the COO and my Director
where we could track the results we were achieving and refine the Strategy and define the next
steps to be followed by Marketing and Sales through TIM
With the replacement (twice in less than 6 months) of this COO during 2009, when all the new
CEO staff came down I had to rebuilt almost from zero all the relationship with the new players at
C level.

show each carrier was where as an ethic position)

the fact that all other Carriers started to sell our solution.
• We increased our sales from units of thousands to tenths of thousands units creating a
YoY grow of 43% in average

a Success case to bring new customers to this service.
HOW • I used the main customer RIM had at that moment (2007) that was TIM itself with +1.3k
internal users

issues have being discussed in the previous MSA (Master Service Agreement)

signed in LATAM even though RIM had already most of the carriers in LATAM selling
BlackBerry
RESULTS • The contract was signed in the end of 2007 and generated an extra revenue for RIM
