Thorough enough so that we can see what
others seek to hide
10. The bureaucratic pull over DSMs
Desk Sales teams had to hit multiple targets
! Sales
- Target for individual sales ($350,000/DSP) - {40% if bonus}
- Target for involved sales ($200,000/DSP) - {20% of bonus}
! Saleswork - {20% of bonus}*
- Target for calls to customers (7/DSP)
- Target for salesplans (all records)
- Target for Siebel errors (zero)
DeskSales GM committed to stretch targets
- 6% extra sales, in a flat revenue period
- 8 months to achieve sales target
- Calls to customers on holidays / sickness / training
- Salesplans and no Siebel errors for past two years of sales
* The remaining 20% bonus was paid if the target for the account was met
Desk Salespeople interpreted:
- themselves as lacking sales experience
- Desk Salespeople were mostly out of high school
- Those Desk Salespeople that had work experience had worked in call
centers (e.g. 911 or 411)
- their customers’ buying progress as too complex
- Even simple products were too complex to sell over the phone
- Customers’ buying process was too political
DeskSalespeople had a difficult relationship with field salespeople
- Field salespeople were gatekeepers to customers
- Field salespeople saw their customers as their own
- Field salespeople were scarred from interference from E-Tel units
- Field salespeople saw desk salespeople as taking their slack
11. IT and the DSMs’ dilemma
Upper-level managers used Siebel summaries for supervision
! Performance = Performance in Siebel
- Desk Salespeople sales targets = reporting sales in Siebel
- Desk Salespeople saleswork targets = reporting calls and doing salesplans in Siebel
! Supervising summaries, not details
- Upper-level managers received MS PowerPoint reports from GMs
- Upper-level managers did not check reports (when relating to GMs)
- Upper-level managers used these reports for their own purposes
Siebel was used as a self-entry system
- Desk Salespeople had to enter their own sales and saleswork
- Desk Sales Managers compiled reports but did not check data
- Upper-level managers interpreted Siebel data as the automatic
outcome of DSPs work
The workings of a manual information system
