Event Details
Driving Top Line Revenue Execution - The Integrated Customer Management Model. We have truly arrived in the "era" of the customer. We are seeing more focus than ever before on generating top line growth and improving margins. The problem is that companies struggle with how to pull their entire organization together to create an interoperating customer focused sales engine to drive this growth. Continuing to operate with "silo-based" departments does not create the processes and discipline needed to achieve top line growth. Effective use of go-to-market strategies require that your entire company is focused on the customer.
Sales and sales channel partners must have clear direction and territory coverage and be properly compensated. Marketing must be keenly aware of customer and competitive trends - developing targeted marketing campaigns and sales tools that drive growth. Support, service, engineering, anyone that touches the customer must be part of the planning process and customer strategy. Measurement tools must focus on how the entire company is working together to achieve sales and customer goals. Success is most critically about execution. Getting your team to see and do things differently. In today's multi-sales channel, multi-touch point environment, it is increasingly difficult to effectively and efficiently sell to customers. Gone are days when you simply hired more sales people, put them through consultative selling courses, developed creative compensation strategies and set aggressive quotas.
To compete today, and compete profitably, you must marshal all customer facing functions in an integrated approach to maximize revenue generation and minimize the overall cost of sales. Technology also plays a significant role. There are a plethora of techniques and tools that companies often struggle to deploy as it's the behavior change of the employees that leads to success. Selecting the right tool and deploying it in a cost effective manner while facilitating change and meeting business goals is a challenge facing many companies today.
On January 11, 2006 come join us to learn about The Integrated Customer Management Model. It is the operational approach leading companies are deploying to leverage the resources of sales, indirect sales channels, sales support, customer service and marketing into a unified team focused on delivering the right product to the right customer at the right time at the lowest cost. It will help you meet the challenge of creating a customer centric revenue engine. Key Topics: Fixing a disconnected customer management approach; Aligning your sales, marketing and support teams to drive growth; Team Selling best practices; Sales Playbook deployment; How to get started
