Upcoming BMA Luncheon
Thursday, May 2nd 2013
Speaker: Helen McIntosh, Director, Global
Marketing Communications, Ingredion
(formerly Corn Products International)
Following a billion-dollar acquisition that lifted it into the Fortune
500, Corn Products International engaged Avenue to explore
possibilities for their expanded capabilities. The relaunch of the
company, as Ingredion, included a new brand positioning, values,
brand architecture and identity that better reflects their diverse
ingredient offerings and the global markets they serve.

8. Hello. May I use my
amazing new interactive
sales tool to help me sell

Absolutely. That is so cool.
I’ll take two of whatever you’re selling.
Of course, we all wish it were this easy.

9. A few key considerations…
• An iPad should not be a one-off tactic
• Integrate with the overall sales and marketing strategy
• View as part of a long-term program
• Continually evaluate the benefit to the customer (and the
sales force) – every app/function must deliver value
• The content and function must mirror your sales philosophy,
processes and approach
• Ensure you’re ready to support it over the long-haul

15. Mindset,
+ Thought capital,
+ Processes,
+ Training,
+ Tools

Helping a sales force of more than 200 reps (and 1000s of DSRs) evolve against this goal
requires introducing new ways of thinking, new skills and new processes.
And, of course…new tools.

Why iPad?
1. Keep the attention of a customer
who is multi-tasking
2. Diagnose their needs in real-time
3. Compare against the competition
4. Allow customers to “see” the
product in their environment,
and even customize it
5. Immediate information access
6. Share customer testimonials
7. Close “on the spot”
8. Get the distributor rep calling us
9. Look cool while doing it ;)

19. The right tool for the job:
The Tork sales environment… The iPad…
• Product category seen as a commodity • Presents the image of an innovative company
• Sale reps often fall into their old habits • Guides to desired sales processes
• Many on-site environments are not • Helps support the position of a consultative
laptop-friendly partner – armed with the knowledge/tools to
help solve their business problems
• Many customers are “multi-tasking”
during the sales meeting • Allows the rep and the customer to explore
solutions together
• A vast product portfolio requires a vast
amount of collateral • Easy to use standing, in tight spaces,
or when “on the go”
• A wide ranges of options
• Green benefits: less paper needed for catalogs
• Can be difficult to get the DSRs attention and reprints
and invited to the sales call
• Creates demand with DSRs

21. The Program Charter
A necessary part of an iPad
program launch:
1) Outlines the program objectives and
requirements:
Ensures that all development takes into account
what makes a good app – versus what is better
left as a print or online tool.
2) Specifies how the program will be managed:
Details roles and responsibilities – a project
management team for IT and daily details, and a
cross-functional Steering Committee to evaluate
and prioritize all new developments and release
cycles.
3) Details processes and release cycles
Defines who are reviewers and approvers, how
updates will be made, and how often new or
improved apps will be released to the sales force.

22. Mobile Device Management (MDM)
MDM solutions allow organizations to manage
both the hardware and software of a device
remotely:
Benefits include:
1) Device Management & Tracking
The entire fleet of devices is managed through
one screen. IT administrators can track devices
and manage software based on business rules.
2) Over the Air (“OTA”) Builds
Custom app updates can be pushed remotely to
the fleet in lieu of requiring a manual update.
This mirrors the commercial app store process.
3) IT Policy Management
The organization can restrict and enforce what
apps are used on the devices. Almost all
behavior can be monitored and controlled.
