Collaborative sales planning is fast becoming a key ingredient in the ongoing transformation of commercial operations of leading businesses to be leaner, more data-driven, and capable of metamorphosing dynamically to capitalize on real-time market opportunities. Benchmarking sales targeting processes against the state of the art can put your organization on a transfor-mational high ground, with increased customer satisfaction and efficient operations.
• Planning activities based on a range of disjointed and non-standard business processes , longer implementation cycle
• Poor data quality due to manual data exchange
• Lack of enterprise visibility
• Decision-making based on “gut feel” rather than data-driven analytics
These capabilities unleash the enormous poten-tial benefits in terms of cost savings, improved data quality and access, a more effective sales force, and improved top and bottom-line.
