Profile Data

High
Simple
Complex
Impact
What can we see about
the client from an external
perspective?
What can we tell about
client behaviour from
direct observation?
Fit Intent
Does client fit the typical ‘need’ profile? Is there intention or buying signals?
Why?
Who? What?
• Web Scraping
• Strategic Plans
• Firmographic
• Market Segmentation

Data is the fuel – you still need ‘models’ as the engine to drive insight creation….

Expert vs Data
Models

• If you’re selling bananas – knowing who has lunchboxes will do!
• Circumvent lack of data by codifying expertise models to start the process.
• Asking the 99% you know but don’t buy will tell you tons about the market.
• Try profiling first time buyers to discern patterns about next gen clients
• Integrate data streams into digital toolsets…e.g. HootSuite
7. How to Blend
7
COMMON KEY
Pursue datasets that
adhere to a common key
architecture – e.g. Dun &
Bradstreet #
FUZZY MATCH
Use natural language
processing or machine
learning to match likely
entities.
MANUAL MATCH
Use SME business analysts
to spend short bursts on
‘interpretive matching’ of
anomalies or low scores.
GAMIFY
Engage end user seller
community in ‘Captcha’
like approach to help find
matches.
Adopt a triage approach which ‘washes’ datasets through various stages of matching to maximise integration

VIZUALIZATION
Create Next Best Customer, Next Best
Solution and Client 360 Views that
provoke questions and build a narrative.
Threshold for usage is an obvious to
interpret Reason of Call.
GUIDANCE
Use expert scoring and models to
help sellers know which Reason of
Call to Leverage. Insight overload
impedes results so you need to
help guide call strategy.
ENABLEMENT
Are sellers comfortable to handle
the ‘consultative’ questions raised
and value propositions required?
How does data help align
territories and skills to markets?

• Is there strategic coherence?
• What are the causes vs symptoms of performance?
• Is there urgency and buy-in?
• Is there an agile development environment?
• Where is the low-hanging technical fruit?
• Is analytics function really embedded in business?
• Can we draw straight line to ledger results?
• Can we measure opportunity cost of non-performance?
• Can we quantify the benefit impacts below the line?
• Does business need to adapt to leverage capability?
• Are there transformation agents on sales side?
• What is the urgency to drive the adoption?
