Why should B2B companies consider Revenue Operations & Intelligence?
As the role of B2B sales has gotten harder – more virtual, more competitive, more unpredictable, across more channels – the status quo has left sellers ill-equipped to grow their customer accounts.
The era of running business intelligence reports and emailing them out to sales reps is fading fast. The average field rep simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to effectively comb through spreadsheets and figure out the best action to take with each customer. Further, companies struggle to personalize product recommendations for customers in digital channels. As a result, they continue to miss opportunities to increase wallet share, see high customer churn rates and deliver an inconsistent customer experience.
A Forrester Research study found that companies that use a revenue operations and intelligence tool reported 69% higher revenue growth and 59% improved win/loss rates.
“B2B organizations need insights that identify risks, patterns, trends, and correlations as well as the impact of these on business outcomes for everything from buyer preferences to rep behavior, from pipeline management to forecasting,” according to The Forrester Wave™: Revenue Operations And Intelligence, Q1 2022. “Reps need guidance on what deals to prioritize and the next best actions to take to make progress on those deals.”
Quick Start for Revenue Operations & Intelligence generates customer-specific actions from B2B transaction, customer and product data, typically resulting in an increase in same-customer revenue of 5-15%. The burden of administrative work and manual analysis is removed, so the sales team can focus on what it does best: sell.
What is Sales IQ™?
Sales IQ™ is the leading B2B revenue operations and intelligence solution, using advanced data science to identify incremental revenue opportunities within both a company’s customer base and whitespace accounts. Sales IQ™ determines what products and quantities customers should be buying based on the buying patterns of similar customers.
What is Campaign Manager™?
Campaign Manager™ is an application that allows sales management and operations teams to scope, refine, prioritize, and publish campaigns based on Sales IQ™ or custom, user-defined insights. Together, Sales IQ™ and Campaign Manager™ produce and deliver targeted action types including Growth, Recovery, Product Substitution, Inventory, Win-Back, Prospecting, Contract Compliance, and more directly to sales reps.
What’s Coming Next?
Stay tuned: In October we plan to break new ground with a standardized, out-of-the-box approach to managing customer agreements with our next Quick Start release.
