The statement of the two experts underlines the importance of modern marketing and sales strategies to gain new customers and to secure the market position.

in Stuttgart, a center for industry and mechanical engineering, the challenges with which Matchandmake GmbH is faced with are particularly relevant. Many local companies, ranging, from classic mechanical engineers to innovative start-ups in the field of medical technology, have been fighting in recent years with a continued decline in orders. This development can not only be attributed to the general market situation, but also to incorrect strategies in customer acquisition and binding.

Nevertheless, the slow adaptation to digital trends shows that many companies run the risk of losing their competitive advantage. The digital transformation is therefore not only necessary, but also vital for survival in order to cope with structural changes such as the current shortage of skilled workers and falling numbers.
