Our Challenges  Business Challenge Consistent use of salesforce.com Insufficient prospecting Insufficient follow-up Technology Challenge Visibility of sales funnel throughout organization Inaccuracy of sales funnel Operational challenges related to resource levels and allocation Inconsistent revenue growth Decreased ROIC ROIC = EBIT x (1 – tax rate) / Interest Bearing Debt + Equity
Addressing These Challenges: Analytics Created reports and dashboards related to adoption, prospecting, follow-up, and performance # Accounts Created # Opportunities Created # Contacts Created Neglected Opportunities By Rep Sales by RSM Monthly quote volume by RSM Next month funnel report by RSM (measured in $$$)
Executive and Company-Wide Visibility  Dashboards made available to all members of Sales organization and Executive Management RSM’s were very aware of the fact that their activity and performance were very visible throughout organization Dashboards and reports physically posted in different functional areas of the facility Engineering Manufacturing Assembly
This Required Management Buy In  RSM’s often claimed that information in dashboards and reports not representative of activity/performance Management adopted the following motto: “ If it isn’t in the tool, it didn’t happen!!!” Management stressed importance of following agreed upon process Management stressed importance of ensuring accuracy of data entered into salesforce.com
But it Paid Off… Dramatic increase in activity levels by certain RSM’s In some cases, RSM’s were not utilizing the tool appropriately and we saw dramatic increases in user logins RSM increased #Accounts Created by approximately 50% in month following public display of dashboards/reports RSM increased #Quotes Created by approximately 100% in month following public display of dashboards/reports Created an environment of positive pressure and competition among RSM’s Although intangible, the environment in the Sales organization became much more competitive RSM’s would monitor dashboards/reports to see if their efforts were resulting in improved results relative to their peers
Creating An Environment of  Positive  Peer Pressure Measure and compare activities and results of each member of your sales organization Communicate this information throughout the entire organization Dashboards in salesforce.com Physical reports/dashboards throughout facility Recognize and reward those individuals that demonstrate the desired behavior Recognition/Reward may be handled privately, however, public acknowledgement can be very powerful in creating an environment of positive pressure
