PE Accounting impresses with its strong desire for continuous improvement
Interview with Erik Skoting, Sales Manager at PE Accounting
With a clear approach to sales, and its ability to keep the sales team motivated, PE Accounting manages to continue to perform even in more difficult times.
With an already well-functioning sales force, PE Accounting impresses with its strong desire for continuous improvement. Success lies in daring to stop to refine and develop the details.
Over the past few months, the sales team at PE Accounting has collectively strengthened their sales process and achieved impressive results. Mindit had the privilege of speaking with Erik Skoting, Sales Manager at the company and who has been named Sales Leader of the Month.
The foundation for success – a company where everyone participates in the sales dialogue

The foundation for success, according to Erik , lies in involving the entire company in the sales dialogue and creating a curiosity for sales among other functions within the organization.
Through his methodical approach, Erik has successfully created an environment where ideas and knowledge are shared freely and where salespeople are constantly developing.
"Selling is a game and games require training, not only in our intense sales meetings, but also off the field. That's why we chose Mindit's approach to sales development, to find new ways of working and to work together, train, train, train. Because a little bit better at each level has a big impact on the end result." – Erik
PE focuses on continuous development and maintains attention to detail
Mindit's motivation for the nomination:
"Because PE Accounting manages to elevate the sales work and how the employees work with the customer dialogue throughout the company. Above all through their methodical and calm way of seeing improvement. PE has managed to build a climate with high standards and sharing in the group. Even though they basically have a functioning sales, they dare to stop and develop the details."
Purposefulness and perseverance drive PE to become the best in Sweden
PE Accounting has grown steadily in recent years and despite their success, they have always strived to improve and develop their sales process.
They have a favorable growth rate of 30% and an impressive history as a Gazelle company for six consecutive years.
Since its inception, the company's vision has been to give entrepreneurs, business leaders and financial managers total control over their finances, through the market's most automated financial system, which also includes financial consultants.
Erik says that his interest in sales development began during his early years as a sales manager.
With a focus on the business and a curiosity about doing business, he has developed a strong passion for training and improving his sales teams.
For Erik and PE Accounting, the goals are clear – they strive to become the best in Sweden.
"In the long term, we will become Sweden's largest sales department, we will be the best. In the short term, we will take our budget. We will not be satisfied and will always work for development and move forward." – Erik
The key to sales team motivation – how PE handles its challenges
PE Accounting has a clear approach to sales.
With patience and the ability to keep their sales team motivated, they manage to continue performing, even in challenging times.
Since the service involves a change in a central function for the customer, an educational and trust-inspiring customer dialogue is required that places knowledge requirements on the sales team.
Erik highlights the importance of providing freedom in the way we work – combined with clear goals and expectations.
"We continue to trust what we do, that we know what we are doing. We continue to motivate even when things are going poorly. We focus on freedom with clear goals and make sure that the expectations are understood."
Lessons learned after the development effort – small details make a big difference
Together with Mindit, PE developed its own Way of Selling.
This has led to more coaching sessions for the salespeople, something the team now has to rely on.
Small details have been polished – details that make a big difference.
Erik says that Mindit's input matched his own analysis, but that they still have a lot to learn.
“It feels good to know where you stand. You make an estimate beforehand of what you think, and now it has been confirmed. We have definitely become more focused. And that is what training does – it helps us prepare for the unprepared.” – Erik

Erik's success tips for the sales process
– Build on internal expertise: Trust the experience of the sales team.
– Handpick your team: No one is the best at everything, but everyone is good at something. Highlight that and create pride.
– Invest time in dialogue: Discuss and improve the sales process.
– Think ahead: What do sales meetings look like today – and in five years?
– Focus on the details: Small improvements can make a big difference.
– Give the team tools and time: Let them understand why the sales process looks the way it does.
– Create a culture where everyone contributes: Use the group's diverse knowledge and make it meaningful.
“Details play a crucial role in the sales process and small improvements can make a big difference. Success lies in focusing on developing your sales team by giving them the tools and time to discuss the sales process. The focus should also be on leveraging the team’s knowledge and skills to create an environment where everyone feels important and is encouraged to contribute their unique expertise.” – Erik
