			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Amberg, October 2010.<br />KP2 GmbH, a German based consulting firm  focusing on sales performance and sales excellence, is expanding its  partner network into the Spanish market. With LMS Leadership, as KP2  GmbH partner of the Miller Heiman network, the ideal partner was  identified to further develop the Spanish market and grow as a  Pan-European sales consulting organisation.<br /><br />The recent high  prestige nomination of KP2 as “Best of Consulting 2010” in the category  Sales and Marketing by Germany’s number 1 weekly economic magazine  “Wirtschaftswoche” motivated KP2 to expand its services into the  European market and offer the national best in class services on an  international level. To keep performance in a wider geographical area,  the strategy is, to cooperate with local high performing consulting  firms. Think local - act global is the theme of KP2’s expansion  strategy.<br /><br />LMS Leadership located in Madrid was founded in  September 2004 by Luis Miguel Sáiz. As a professor of ESIC Business  School for Executive MBAs and Commercial and Marketing Management, he  has more than 29 years of experience in sales and in leading management  positions. LMS consists of six sales consultants focusing on the  financial and insurance industry, pharmaceutical and healthcare  logistics, IT and hi-tech industry, transportation and automotive  logistics, energy and utilities as well as HR consulting and business  Services. Repsol YPF, Indra, BT, Recall, Experian, Novartis, CESCE, Atos  Origin, Lease Plan, Infojobs, and Daemon Quest count to their customer  base.<br /><br />KP2 GmbH and LMS Leadership will jointly offer the full  services and tools of KP2 and Miller Heiman, the world leading company  in Sales Performance Development. Miller Heiman based consulting  services have helped ten-thousands of companies in B2B sales to optimize  their sales organisations. The biggest potential of organisational and  performance improvement still lies in the sales departments. KP2 and LMS  will help European based companies to bring more transparency,  productivity and excellence to their sales organisations. KP2 has most  recently expanded its partner network to France, Italy, the Netherland,  Scandinavia, Ireland, Czech Republic as well as Turkey.<br /><br />LMS  Leadership founder and Managing Director Luis Miguel Sáiz comments the  cooperation as follows: “More and more we have been requested by our  current clients to provide top quality sales consultancy service  throughout Europe. Miller Heiman has partners in nearly every country in  Europe and the leader has been KP2 ever since they began, with the  expertise to run multinational roll-outs --- exactly what our clients  are needing. The synergies among all of us within the scope of this  partner network are unlimited and we foresee double digit growth in 2011  being generated both through the higher degree of service we are now  able to provide our clients as well as the consultancy work here in  Spain derived from KP2 and other network partners."
<br />Siegfried Kreuzer, founder and CEO of KP2 sees high growth  potential with the new partnership and comments: “KP2 has chosen LMS as  we see high synergies within our markets. The high professionalism and  motivation of LMS convinced us to get with LMS the right partner on  board of our new European wide partner network.”]]></content:encoded>
