A company is only as good as its workforce. A company does not generate ideas, does not give service, and by itself is neither efficient nor productive. People make all of those things happen. In that sense, employees are the most important component in the quest to improve business results. It makes sense to treat employee-related expenses as an investment in the workforce. Like any other investment, this critical company investment must yield a healthy return. At Sage, we call that the Return On Employee Investment or ROEI.
These are not easy times for HR managers. Like other executives, they must do more with less. A viable approach to the consequences of an economic downturn is tighter “strategic alignment” of HR processes to the company’s overall competitive strategy. One way that HR managers might adapt to doing more with less is to develop initiatives that designate HR as a strategic partner to revenue-generating business units and to the executive team.

But without CRM, you can’t develop your business. Customers can get in touch with you by phone, email, or social media to ask questions and check on orders. It can be hard to get information out of people. Most importantly, a lack of oversight can also make the team less responsible.

Pipeline
Finding time to bring in a steady flow of new customers can be quite the challenge for a small
business sales team. This is often caused by issues such as:
•
Inability to route leads to the appropriate sales rep
•
Lack of information on potential clients
•
Inadequate knowledge about a prospect before calling
•
Poor visibility and forecasting of future pipeline.
A CRM app allows sales reps to store the data on prospects so the information’s ready at each
interaction. Plus, it quickly provides metrics related to visibility and forecasting.
The document discusses how technology is changing the sales process and requiring a more data-driven, quantitative approach. It argues that to be successful, companies need to understand key metrics like the number of calls or activities required to connect with prospects, convert connections to meetings, and convert meetings to opportunities. This "math of sales" can be used to more accurately forecast pipeline and revenue, optimize staffing and resource allocation, and reduce money left on the table. It promotes a tool called Salesvue that integrates with CRMs to provide real-time analytics on sales activities and help companies determine these important numbers to guide their prospecting and sales strategies.
White Paper: successful with marketing automationrun_frictionless
Marketing automation is more than merely automating your workflows, even though – as the name suggests – this clearly is the point. However, if you just do what you are doing now but with the help of a fancy tool, the results will not be that dierent.

Got CRM? WHY YOU NEED MARKETING AUTOMATION, TOOCMT SOLUTION
This document discusses how CRM systems support sales but fail marketers by not providing end-to-end visibility and control over the lead lifecycle. It argues that marketing automation is needed to attract new leads, nurture prospects, and deliver sales-ready leads to CRM. Marketing automation incorporates CRM data and tracks website behavior to execute personalized campaigns across channels. It enables marketers to qualify leads, develop relationships, and generate revenue that can be attributed back to specific campaigns for measuring ROI. The document recommends selecting a marketing automation system that integrates with CRM, requires minimal support, and provides functionality that CRM lacks for tasks like lead scoring, automated nurturing, and multi-channel campaign management.
The document discusses a new sales intelligence technology called Opportunity Intelligence from InsideView that helps sales reps identify key selling opportunities in real time. It detects opportunities, identifies decision makers, and provides strategic information to close deals. This transforms sales into a highly targeted and efficient process. Traditional sales tools are missing these capabilities and Opportunity Intelligence addresses this challenge by helping reps recognize opportunities and capitalize on insights ahead of competition.
How to Avoid the Biggest Risk in Selecting a CRM System?Soffront Software
The document discusses the risks of poor user adoption when selecting a CRM system. It states that the biggest risk is if salespeople do not use the system. This can be due to the CRM being designed more for management's needs rather than the salespeople's needs. The document recommends that the CRM should make it easy for salespeople to access crucial customer information quickly. It also should allow salespeople to follow up with customers easily within the system. Selecting a CRM with these features in mind can help ensure salespeople adopt the system and improve productivity.

While getting business teams on board with agile principles poses challenges, taking an incremental approach of implementing agile within IT first, then evangelizing successes to others, can help spread agile practices across an organization. CIOs must sell agile in business terms focused on value and outcomes rather than technical terminology.

Q & A Session
This document provides an overview and summary of key concepts related to Hyperledger Fabric, a blockchain platform. It discusses how Fabric solves problems with existing systems by creating an immutable, shared ledger using blockchain technology. The key components of Fabric are peers that maintain the ledger, an ordering service that orders transactions into blocks, and a certificate authority for identity management. Smart contracts called chaincode define transactions and rules for updating ledger states. Channels provide private transaction ledgers for subsets of network members.
This document provides an overview of a survey conducted on CRM/Unified Commerce strategies and initiatives among top North American retailers. Some key findings include:
- Most retailers have implemented customer databases and plan to implement real-time analytics to gather and analyze customer data in real-time.
- Top strategic initiatives include the ability to identify customers when they enter the store, implementing real-time retail experiences, and increasing use of mobile marketing.
- Retailers indicated increasing budgets for technologies that support customer experience, mobile marketing, CRM analytics, and loyalty programs.
- While many retailers have elements of a unified approach, such as joint marketing/IT teams, nearly half have separate marketing and IT strategies
The experts discuss the future of point-of-sale (POS) and e-commerce systems for retailers. They agree that retailers should work towards an "omni-channel platform" that provides a single view of inventory, orders, and customers across all sales channels. This platform would replace separate POS and e-commerce systems. In the short-term, retailers can use a middleware layer to integrate different systems, but ultimately there should be one platform handling all transactions. Mobile POS should be an extension of the main POS system to provide a consistent experience. POS in the cloud offers lower costs and flexibility for retailers of any size.
The document discusses achieving unified commerce through the right technology. It defines unified commerce as eliminating individual channel silos to offer a holistic customer experience across all touchpoints. Only 2% of retailers have adopted this approach. The document recommends retailers implement a single commerce platform, middleware/SOA, master data management, and business process management to enable unified commerce capabilities like personalized selling, real-time operations monitoring, and enterprise inventory visibility. This will allow retailers to sense and respond to customer needs in real-time.
The document discusses how mobile technology is transforming the customer experience in retail. It finds that mobile point of sale (POS) implementations are expected to increase 373% over the next few years. Mobile devices allow retailers to provide enhanced customer service on the sales floor and enable transaction processing anywhere in the store. The survey also found that retailers are expanding their use of customer-facing mobile services like geolocation, personalized recommendations, and mobile loyalty identification to improve the shopping experience. Finally, mobile payments using near field communication (NFC) technology are growing, though widespread adoption may be inhibited by the long change cycle in the payments industry.
Using an intensive process enumerated here can certainly make a Startup succeed 70% of the times.

Introduction
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence
In the same way that steam power during the 1800s, robots in manufacturing in the 1900s, and IT during
the 2000s spurred a global revolution of innovation and growth, so will the advent and utilization of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in the years to come.
This transformational rise of automation and technology through the utilization of AI and machine learning
(ML) has become known as Industry 4.0 (often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution). These new
innovations will force businesses to rethink how they deliver services, products, and results.
To that point, AI holds many promises for how the future of work will change. Those organizations who
choose to break from tradition and embrace data and new technologies will be prepared to reap the rewards
as an early adopter.
AI Strategy Advisor, Vikram Mahidhar, stated in a December 2018 Harvard Business Review article, that
“by the time a late adopter has done all the necessary preparation, earlier adopters [of AI] will have taken
considerable market share — they’ll be able to operate at substantially lower costs with better performance.
In short, the winners may take all and late adopters may never catch up.”
You might be saying to yourself, “how can my company [… or better yet, your department] leverage the power
of AI?”
AI as an abstract of association, classification, or decision algorithms can seem far off and almost nebulous
to the everyday business or sales leader. But this doesn’t have to be the case.
Businesses are utilizing AI platforms like People.ai today to improve individual’s performance, job
satisfaction, and productivity across the organization.
Sales teams are seeing higher CRM adoption, improved reporting, and an overall increase in sales
representative’s productivity and efficiency.
For example, People.ai’s customers have seen their sales reps saving an average of up to 20% of their week
after rolling out time saving AI automation across their go-to-market teams. This extra time allows reps
to spend more time focusing on relationship building with leads and providing the depth and context that
prospects need from a human representative.

4. AI for Sales: Six Ways People.ai Makes Your Sales Team More Efficient
1. Increase CRM Adoption
The Problem
With less than half of salespeople reporting that they stored lead
and customer data in a CRM, and their biggest challenge with
their CRM being manual data entry (Hubspot), it’s no surprise that
salespeople have record low CRM adoption and don’t use (or like
using) their company’s CRM.
Furthermore, with C-level execs reporting that investments in
their CRM will be leading their budget growth priorities in the next
year (Forbes), there’s an obvious dissonance in priorities between
organizational senior leadership and the front line sales team.
Simply put, companies are doubling down on their investments in
their CRM, and salespeople are fighting them every step of
the way.
So, how can companies make the most of their CRM investments
while also increasing the efficiency of their sales team?
The Solution
With People.ai’s activity syncing and automated contact creation technology, CRM adoption rates
inherently surge.
Using the People.ai platform, all of a salesperson’s new contacts after meetings, and logging activities
(emails, phone calls, meetings/calendar, etc.) are automatically logged into their CRM. This leads to
significant reductions in routine and monotonous, unfulfilling work for the sales rep, as well as automatically
increases their usage of their CRM.
By automatically increasing CRM adoption, logging all activities, and capturing all of the contacts a sales
person interacts with, and then matching those to the correct account and opportunity, both sales and
marketing departments benefit from accurate reporting and the ability to make smarter business decisions.

log anything by myself. People.ai takes care of it all.”

2. Boost Sales Productivity
The Problem
Just like time spent scrolling on social media, sales representatives spend too much time entering data into
their CRM and it eats away at their productivity.
According to data collected from research analyst firm, SiriusDecisions, on average sales reps spend only
26.6 percent of their time selling to customers (13 hours per week), and 9.7 percent of their time talking to
customers about escalations and other non-sales activity. Much of the rest of sales reps’ time
(36.5 percent) is devoted to preparing to engage with a customer (e.g. preparing proposals, searching for
content), with the remaining 27.2 percent of their day on internal administrative activities such as data entry
and activity logging.
The Solution
By removing the administrative burden on your sales team of creating new contacts and logging every
customer activity in the CRM, People.ai automatically increases productivity and gives salespeople more
time to focus on closing deals. You get more value out of your sales team by freeing them to focus on what
they’re highly skilled at: selling.
“Amazing sales productivity tool! We are able to see all business
correspondence and sales related activity in Salesforce, we also use analytics,
such as average response time, external to internal meeting ratio, etc., in our
sales performance reviews to improve sales productivity.”

3. Data-Driven Sales Coaching
The Problem
No matter if it be in industry, life, or athletics, a coach’s most important job is to help team members improve
and grow their individual strengths. The same is true in data-driven sales coaching.
Sales coaching can sometimes feel like a thankless task, but it’s a critical step to building a successful
sales team.
Coaching from a sales leader is an effective method for
empowering sales reps. Drawing on the insights from
a battle-tested sales leader can provide a sales rep
with the guidance they need to overcome objections,
prioritize prospects, and close more business.
That being said, how are sales leaders supposed to
identify “coaching moments?” When should a sales
leader step in and assist a sales rep and when should
they back off because things are humming along just
fine? How do they coach all of the reps using a data-
driven approach and not get sucked in by the best or
the worst reps?
The Solution
The People.ai platform lets sales leaders set goals
and track all sales activity levels for every rep. It
also delivers benchmarking data like time spent on
accounts and opportunities, the number of accounts
a salesperson has engaged, number and types of
activities by a salesperson, prospect response times,
and more.
With this data readily visible in a coaching dashboard,
sales leaders can easily identify areas for coaching and
provide direct correlations between the type and volume
of activities done and quotas reached.

“We now have a portal where all Sales Rep time and activities can be analyzed
in one place. As someone managing a fast growing team that includes remote
employees, this was super valuable to be able to coach / monitor my reps and
make sure they’re spending time in the right places.”

4. Improve Forecasting, Pipeline Analysis &
Deal Intelligence
Sales Forecasts
As we discussed earlier, the truth is that most salespeople
don’t enter data, new contact records, meetings, and even
opportunities into their CRM. They’re working out of Gmail,
Outlook, calendars, phones, or wherever they can get ahold
of their prospects. Furthermore, if they are entering data, is
it accurate?
Your reps could be “sandbagging” by hiding deals or pushing
out close dates to give them a jump on the month ahead. Or, they could be “blue-skying,” and over calling
their deals, allowing their positive attitude to balloon their evaluation of prospects.
Sales forecasting tools are fueled by activities logged into the CRM, and companies that don’t leverage a
solution such as People.ai won’t be capturing massive amounts of data and sales activities which can easily
lead to highly misleading sales forecasts.
Sales Pipeline and
Deal Intelligence
What does it take to win a deal?
If your team is leaving it to intuition,
luck, or secret success formulas, it’s
time to change that.
People.ai gives you real-time pipeline
analysis and real-time/historical
tracking of deal trends with deep
insights into the key factors that your
won/closed deals all have in common.
Things like, how many people were in
the buying group? How many times
were they contacted and when? What is
the correlation between the number in
the buying group and the size of won/
closed deals?
People.ai answers these for you and
gives you the information you need to
build the ideal path to winning deals at
your company.

5. Self-Healing Contact Database
With one in four contacts in the typical database containing critical errors (SiriusDecisions), it’s no wonder
companies have record low CRM adoption, and salespeople that are choosing to find other ways to track
their prospects and deals.
“In the first three months of turning on People.ai, we saw that our AEs were
working with over 3,000 contacts that were not in Salesforce. Simply love
having automatic email, meeting, contact creation, and opportunity contact
role creation.”
Steven Perini
Sales Ops at Mapbox
If this sounds like your team, and your CRM is filled with outdated or inaccurate data, your opportunities and
close rate will suffer.
Companies that leverage the powerful People.ai platform are able to monitor the health of their CRM with
a “Hygiene Score” that constantly measures data gaps and cleaning opportunities in the CRM contact,
account, and opportunity records.
Additionally, People.ai proactively updates CRM contacts in real-time, cross references contact info with
People.ai data to assure accuracy, and creates net new contacts when needed. It also matches and assigns
existing contacts to the right opportunities. This additional enrichment assures that your CRM always has
the right people, with the right information that marketing and sales should engage with.

6. Create Unprecedented Buying
Group Visibility
Increasingly, buying groups are considered the secret to deal success. But who needs to be involved and
when and where? The People.ai platform gives you clear visualization of whom sales has spoken with at
each stage of an opportunity. Using this information, sales leaders can work with their sales reps to define
which roles are needed in the buying center at each stage to move deals forward. Sales leaders are also able
to build deal models in order to benchmark sales performance and focus future sales efforts.
When you know who needs to be in the buying group to win/close deals, you can replicate the process and
increase targeted marketing and sales efforts.
