Kyocera’s Dealer Sales Kick-off Conference 2024 pivots to generating growth

The recent Kyocera Document Solutions South Africa (KDZA) Dealer Sales Kick-off Conference 2024, held at The Pivot Hotel in Montecasino—an apt setting for a gathering that was all about movement and forward momentum - was filled with insights that spoke to KDZA’s shared vision of:- "Partnering to grow value together” 

Creating value and generating growth

The event was graced by the presence of Takuya Marubayashi, President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management, who set a vivid scene for KDZA’s future, encouraging everyone to envision growth in every facet of our operations.

Inspired by the South African World Cup win in 2023, Scott Rankin, General Manager Sales & Operations for EMEA, eloquently drew parallels between the spirit of sportsmanship and our business ethos—drive, passion, potential, power, and teamwork. This perspective serves as a beacon as we navigate formidable challenges ahead. 

Following the international speakers, myself and Paul Wendlandt, General Manager outlined a robust vision for enhancing sales, fostering collaboration across the business, and transforming some management practices. The message was clear: We are positioned not just to continue, but to excel, ensuring business continuity and significant growth. 

Empowering our teams for tomorrow

Reflecting the true African spirit, where the proverb reminds us that "Tomorrow belongs to people who prepare for it today," we announced pivotal team changes. These are designed to empower our sales, support, and account management teams to substantially grow value for all stakeholders. This strategic realignment is more than an adjustment—it's a transformative approach to embracing proactive collaboration, thorough preparation, and adaptation to the ever-changing business landscape. 

A call to collective action

The conference ended with a call to everyone to engage deeply, collaborate more effectively, and innovate continuously to drive towards shared success. 

Standing together, proud members of the global Kyocera family, ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead, we are #Kyocera—united in our pursuit of excellence and committed to generating substantial growth through partnership and collaboration. 

Together, let’s continue to shape the future of our industry, ensuring that the value we create today paves the way for the success of tomorrow.
