Overview
Rikilon Engineering Pvt Ltd is an electrical engineering company based in Thane specialising in infrastructure and engineering projects. The company had capable engineers but a sales team that operated reactively — chasing low-margin, one-off work with no strategic account management. STIFEM's Business Development & Sales Excellence Program transformed their approach from reactive to proactive, resulting in measurable growth in both project quality and revenue.
The Challenge
Rikilon's sales function was primarily reactive — responding to tenders rather than proactively building client relationships and pipeline. The team focused on smaller, low-margin one-off projects and lacked the skills or strategy to target and win higher-value, recurring engineering contracts. There was no formal account management discipline or proposal strategy.
- Reactive sales model relying on tenders with no proactive pipeline building
- Over-dependence on low-margin, one-off projects limiting revenue quality
- No structured approach to targeting or nurturing high-value accounts
- Weak proposal strategies with poor differentiation from competitors
- Limited confidence in engaging senior decision-makers and project owners
The STIFEM Solution
STIFEM's program introduced a strategic, account-first approach to business development at Rikilon. The curriculum was built around identifying high-value target segments, building compelling proposals that differentiate technical expertise, and establishing ongoing account relationships. Practical tools and templates were developed specifically for engineering services contexts.
- Strategic account identification framework tailored to engineering project segments
- Proposal strategy training focused on technical differentiation and value articulation
- Account management discipline with structured review and engagement cadences
- Confidence-building modules for senior stakeholder and decision-maker conversations
- Pricing strategy and negotiation techniques for engineering contracts

“The training shifted our thinking from reactive sales to a structured, client-centric approach. Our team now confidently engages with larger clients, presents our value clearly, and commands better pricing. The program paid for itself many times over in the first quarter alone.”
