IV. Exploration and Optimization of Management Model
1. Goal-oriented performance management
To ensure that localized marketing teams align with the brand's global strategic goals, the Xuemei brand has established a goal-oriented performance management system. At the start of each business cycle, brand headquarters and local marketing teams jointly develop clear and measurable performance targets. These targets include not only quantitative indicators such as sales performance and market share, but also qualitative indicators such as brand awareness improvement and customer satisfaction. For example, in an emerging market, the target might be to increase the brand's followers on local social media platforms by 50% within the quarter, while simultaneously improving customer satisfaction with product reviews. Team and individual performance is regularly evaluated, using data analysis and customer feedback to comprehensively understand goal achievement. High-performing teams and individuals receive generous material rewards and recognition, such as bonuses, promotion opportunities, and certificates of honor; for teams and individuals who fail to meet targets, the reasons are analyzed together, improvement plans are developed, and necessary support and guidance are provided.
2. Flexible team collaboration and communication mechanisms
To adapt to the different work paces and cultural characteristics of various regions, the Xuemei brand has adopted a flexible team collaboration and communication mechanism. On the one hand, it utilizes advanced digital tools such as WeChat Work, DingTalk, and Slack to establish a real-time communication platform, ensuring the timely transmission and sharing of information between the brand headquarters and marketing teams in various regions. Whether it's conveying important decisions or providing feedback on issues in daily work, everything can be handled quickly through these platforms. On the other hand, it encourages marketing teams in various regions to flexibly adjust their team collaboration methods according to local conditions. For example, in regions that emphasize team cohesion, teams regularly organize offline team-building activities to enhance trust and understanding among members; while in regions that emphasize efficiency, teams prefer to use online meetings and project management tools for efficient collaboration. Simultaneously, cross-regional project teams are established to promote communication and cooperation among marketing teams in different regions, jointly tackling some global marketing challenges.
3. Continuous feedback and improvement
The Xuemei brand understands that the market environment is constantly changing, and the team's management model needs to evolve accordingly. Therefore, it has established a continuous feedback and improvement mechanism. It regularly collects team members' opinions and suggestions on training content, management models, and the work environment through questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, and group discussions to ensure a comprehensive understanding of employee needs and ideas. Based on the collected feedback, training content and management strategies are adjusted promptly. For example, if a regional marketing team is found to have insufficient data analysis capabilities, the brand headquarters will provide targeted training courses or invite professional data analysts to provide guidance. Simultaneously, it monitors the latest industry trends and competitors' management models, continuously learning from and drawing on advanced experiences to continuously optimize the management level of the localized marketing team.
Through the comprehensive and systematic establishment, training, and management measures described above, Xuemei's localized marketing team has gradually grown and expanded globally, becoming a solid force for the brand's expansion in the international market. Leveraging their in-depth understanding of local markets and professional marketing capabilities, they have successfully driven Xuemei's market share to continuously increase in different regions, and the brand's awareness and reputation have been widely disseminated. In its future globalization journey, Xuemei will continue to optimize the construction of its localized marketing team to adapt to the ever-changing market environment and achieve the brand's long-term development goals.
