In the past few weeks klickTel has opened six new sales offices in Essen, Hamburg, Cologne, Dortmund, Frankfurt and Munich in addition to the main sales location in Essen. In these conurbations the company intends to intensify the sales of infoEintrag in digital klickTel media in close customer-orientation and using a slimmed-down external sales organization. In parallel, klickTel will be concentrating the poster campaign for the information portal www.klicktel.de in these sales areas. Jürgen Wewer, since June member of klickTel’s management board and responsible for Sales and Marketing of klickTel AG: 'Within our strategic focus on advertising sales, we have now been able to create the operational prerequesites necessary to move closer to the customer and thus to generate further growth with the klickTel infoEintrag. In doing so we are, in our sales concentration areas, building on sales teams of merchants, thus allowing us to expand further with a slimmed-down cost structure.' In total there will be up to ten freelance merchants in the six additional sales locations who will be driving the acquisition of new customers for the klickTel infoEintrag. 'The additional investement in the creation of the new sales locations can be compensated by internal cost reductions and efficiency increases within the company' says CEO Boris Polenske. 'The aim is to structure the expansion of our core business in a profitable way as soon as possible and to be able to be in the black in the coming year.' For the present business year, klickTel AG is assuming that the drop-off in navigation business compared to the previous year can be completely compensated by the increasing sales from advertising sales, and that the previous year’s level thus can be reached. In parallel to the creation of the new sales locations the advertising campaign for www.klicktel.de has been extended over the past few weeks, and has been harmonized with regional sales activities. In cooperation with gelb.de GmbH, klickTel can take advantage of the high-visibility outdoor advertising spaces provided by the Ströer Group in Germany.
