7Our Sales Organization
- 10 Unique Business Units - Core Sales Teams are
primary - Highly collaborative sales efforts, with Core
Sales Reps as the lead sales person - Complementary Product deals often "attached to
Core deals. - Sales Reps are compensated on attached sales in
addition to their own sale. - Complementary Product Sales Reps have their own
quotas.
8Business Challenges
- Complementary sales reps support 30 Core Sales
Reps (avg. 100 current opportunities per
complementary rep). - Attached Deals need to be kept aligned despite
multiple opportunities, time zones and travel
schedules.
9Sales Forecasts were a manual effort and not
collaborative
- Each Business Unit had their own spreadsheets.
- No standardization across Business Units reports.
- Sales Managers would email updates to Executive
Assistants for compilation. - Missing information needed at the Executive
level - What cross-sell opportunities are included?
- What is the total deal value?
10Today automated real-time collaboration
- With Salesforce CRM, we did 6 key things
- Use an Open sharing model so everyone can see
each others deals, - Standardized to one Sales Process across all
units, - Used custom fields validation rules to identify
collaborative opportunities, - Created a Custom Object for Attached
Opportunities, - Created workflow and validation rules with email
alerts to notify team members about changes in
the Core deals, and - Built Standard reports to monitor and measure.
11Automated Real-time Collaboration
- Use Opportunity Types to identify joint
collaborative opportunities. - Created validation rules that enforce data
compliance. - Joint opportunity types requires
- Attached Opportunity
- Core Sales Rep
12Fields with Workflow Rules enforce data and
trigger alerts
13Custom Object Attached Opportunities shows on
the Parent Opp.
14Sample Email Alert
- Workflow rules trigger emails to other sales
people. - Message includes all the critical points of
information. - Provides links to make it easy to update their
opp. - Eliminates manual efforts (calls, etc.) to
inform.
15Standard Reporting
- Sales Reps and Sales Management need to measure
on the same things. - Show the Total Value of Collaboration on at least
one report. - Sales Managers use this for coaching.
- Reps can quickly see how they are doing compared
to their peers. - Automate reporting with scheduled, emailed
reports.
16Collaboration Report
Managers can quickly who is collaborating and who
isnt. Great coaching opportunity.
Reps can see how they benefit For this rep,
it means 80 more quota credit and more
commission dollars in his check!
17Next Steps
- Roll out Salesforce CRM Mobile
- Reps can update their opps right when they get
the email alerts. - Roll out Partner Portal
- Extend the Sales Collaboration with our Alliance
Partners. - Key Takeaways
- Automate wherever possible make use of the
tools you have. - Evaluate other tools all the time, looking for
ways to improve. - Put yourself in the Sales peoples shoes make
it easy for them to comply but dont do the work
for them WWofSF - Make sure they can see how it means more in
their pockets. - Use metrics to coach for improvements. Focus your
time with the middle-performing reps.
