This document provides an overview and table of contents for a guide on sales and marketing pipeline and funnel models from Focus Experts. It introduces the guide and thanks the contributing experts. The table of contents lists 17 sections that will be covered in the guide, including topics like readjusting your perspective to the buyer's experience, the division between marketing and sales being a myth, the days of the traditional funnel being over, creating a "living funnel" that responds to business changes, engaging customers to create evangelists, and defining buying stages and conversion rates.
Social in this instance is really about engaging with prospects, nurturing that relationship, and building up their confidence levels to actually open up their wallet. Even if the nurturing process does not immediately (say, within six months) lead to a sale, the door remains open for future deals, if the company is persistent in its engagement with the prospect. In this respect, ROI is not about hard profits initially. It’s about establishing a relationship and building a level of trust with the prospect that paves the way for future business.

- Inbound marketing and empowered buyers have made the traditional funnel outdated; the process is now more fluid and non-linear with buyers controlling their path.
- Funnels need to be more dynamic and responsive to business changes to maximize demand generation in today's

The experts explain how automated cash handling solutions can eliminate many of these costs by quickly and accurately counting cash, reconciling amounts, and securely storing cash on-site until pickup. This reduces transit fees, staffing needs, errors, and shrinkage while

Robbers Fleeing
Service Stations
Cash Handling Statoil in Sweden has had two attempted robberies on
its service stations so far in 2012. A very low figure.
“In the past there could be over 20 robberies a year.
But with a good cash handling system, thieves know it’s
not worth trying any more,” says Torbjörn Lenstad, Head
of Security at Statoil Sweden.
TEXT I Hanna Lindahl
D
uring the first half of 2012, 369 store
robberies were reported in Sweden,
the lowest level for 10 years according
to statistics from the Swedish National Coun-
cil for Crime Prevention.
Per Geijer, Head of Security at the Swedish
Federation of Trade, says that one important Torbjörn Lenstad
explanation is less small change in stores.
Torbjörn Lenstad, Head of Security at Statoil Sweden, agrees.
“Trying to rob our stations is a severe risk because any gain
is small thanks to the cash handling system,” he says.
In the closed cash handling system, both payment and the
giving of change are carried out automatically. This means the
money is secure from the moment it leaves the customer’s
hand until it reaches the counting centre.
“We are working hard to ensure our personnel can feel safe,
even though they handle a lot of money. The main problem
isn’t having money or cigarettes stolen, but people getting
hurt,” says Lenstad.
Less hassle, more customer service
Statoil Sweden has around 305 staffed service stations na-
tionwide. Almost 75 of these are currently equipped with
Gunnebo’s SafePay system. And this is set to increase.
“Back at the turn of the millennium we had a solution from
another company in many stations. We’re now replacing the
old system with Gunnebo’s SafePay.”
He says that they soon discovered the benefits of Gun-
nebo’s closed solution, and Statoil itself helped develop the
product in the early 2000s.
“Today SafePay is functioning excellently, it’s a secure, reli-
able system,” says Lenstad.
The total solution means there is minimal cash handling.
Torbjörn Lenstad sees yet another benefit with SafePay – no
differences in the till.
“The costs of the system are recouped quite quickly. What’s
more, we don’t have to waste time wondering why the till isn’t
right, but can concentrate on looking after our customers.”
Statoil has been working to increase overall security at its
service stations for many years. As well as SafePay, surveil-
lance cameras, locks and alarms are also important. Moreo-
ver, the company invests in training personnel in security
issues. ■

Gunnebo, about the acquisition and how it ties in
with the Group’s global strategy.
TEXT I Karin Wallström
Why has Gunnebo made this acquisition, and why now?
“First of all, we have been following a strategy for
growth since mid-2010 and obviously acquisitions
are an important part of this growth strategy.
Secondly, when it comes to acquisitions we are
only looking for high-quality businesses which add
value to the Group and Hamilton is such a busi-
ness, with a level of profitability well above the
Group average.
Thirdly, if we are to be a leading global pro-
vider of a safer future, we need to take a
strong position on the US market, the sec-
ond largest security market in the world.”
What are your initial thoughts
on the acquisition?
“I think this is a huge tick
in the box for the Group
and our strategic agenda
to become the leading
global provider of a safer

How the system
helps reduce queues
After check-in, the passengers scan their
boarding card in the queue management
system SmartQ, which can read different
types of card (magnetic strip, bar code etc.).
The scanners at the SpeedGate FP gates
check the boarding card and quickly sense
that they have the IATA standard, are for the
correct date, and that the flights exist in the
flight database.
The system approves the boarding cards
and direct the passengers, via a clear dis-
play, to suitable lanes for security control.
The database also links each individual pas-
senger’s recorded time with his or her posi-
tion and flight departure.
The system then delivers information or
statistics in real time at the individual level,
which is important to know for each spe-
cific flight departure at the airport.
The information is also compiled for the
overall passenger flows in the terminals, for
example past the X-ray equipment in secu-
rity control. In general, the airport manage-

taken to stop people being delayed so that
the aircraft can leave on time.

Airport Expands
Security
POLAND. The increasing numbers of passengers trav-
elling by air is placing new demands on airports around
the world. Today Frederic Chopin Airport in Warsaw has to
accommodate almost ten million travellers annually, which
has resulted in the need to expand its facilities and improve
its security.
After two successful installations of PasSec anti-return
gates, Gunnebo received a third order from the airport.
“Altogether we have delivered nine lanes,” says Bartosz
Kędzia, Key Account Manager at Gunnebo.
“We were awarded the tender, beating well-known global
competitors. We also encountered tough security and safety
demands, which meant we could only work on installation
for a few hours each night when the airport was closed for
passengers. We are hoping to play a part in the next phase
of Warsaw Airport’s expansion,” concludes Bartosz.

Success in Asia
VIETNAM. After the recent installation of entrance con-
trol products in Hanoi, Gunnebo Singapore’s Vietnam repre-
sentative office and local partner, Techpro Co, has also success-
fully installed SpeedStiles for Vietnam National Coal Mineral
Industries Group (Vinacomin) and Vietnam Television (VTV).
Vinacomin bought one set of four lanes and VTV ordered four
sets including two two-lane sets, one four-lanes set, and one
five-lanes set.
The Vinacomin project represents the first SpeedStile NEP
FP1200 to be installed on the Vietnamese market.
The VTV project follows the completion of its new broad-
casting building. After more than 40 years, VTV is currently
undergoing a major upgrading process and its first project is to
extend its premises with a new broadcasting building to cater
for the growing number of channels and programmes. VTV de-
cided to secure its main lobby and staff entrance with Speed-
Stile BP because of the solution’s reliability and track record.
“These projects are very promising for the future markets
of Entrance Control solutions in Hanoi. As we speak, there is
another order in the pipeline,” says Chief Representative, Ms.
Huyen Luong.
