Everything you want to know about sales growth but are afraid to askMcKinseyandCompany
Four secrets of sales leaders determine how effective they will be: selling the way customers want to buy; digital sales; make building smart analytics the norm; and bring together an A-team. From 2016 Dreamforce presentation by McKinsey's Lareina Yee and Maria Valdivieso de Uster.
Marketers are stepping up to drive business results. Creating more networked organizations, targeting above-market growth, and capturing - then using - effective customer insights are core capabilities.
Sales Operations can play a significant role in enabling transformation and driving sales productivity improvement. In particular, Sales Operations leaders can harness the power of advanced analytics capabilities to drive continuous improvement. This is an edited version of the presentation McKinsey's Brian Selby made at Dreamforce 2016.

The Consumer Decision Journey (CDJ) helps businesses and marketers focus on the four key battlegrounds to develop critical insights that inform marketing and MROI objectives. In this presentation, McKinsey's Dave Elzinga explores how the CDJ has evolved, and how the digital revolution has made "initial consideration" the must-win battleground for marketers and businesses alike.
Marketing is increasingly an advanced technology discipline. When well used, it can improve marketing effectiveness 15% - 25%. But using marketing technology effectively is about more than just tech; it's about creating an engine that runs smoothly and evolves continuously.

Sales and Marketing Alignment Benchmarking ReportDemand Metric
How influential is sales and marketing alignment on achieving revenue goals? A Demand Metric Benchmark Study concluded that sales and marketing alignment is more than just “happy talk”; it has a real effect on revenue performance.
In June 2013, Demand Metric conducted a benchmarking study to assess the influences on sales and marketing alignment and how in turn in impacts revenue performance. Key findings from this study include:
• Not an “all or nothing” proposition: complete alignment of sales and marketing goals is related to the highest revenue achievement, but even partial alignment is far superior to none.
• Rose-colored glasses: Presidents, CEOs or owners of their firms are more likely to perceive strong or complete sales and marketing alignment than their sales and marketing teams.
• Two is better than one: Organizational structure is related to achievement. Separate sales and marketing teams outperform organizations where sales and marketing operate as a single, combined team.
• The one with the best tools wins: Mature implementations of sales and marketing systems, such as marketing automation or CRM, are having a significant impact on revenue achievement.
• Integration = Revenue: The highest level of revenue achievement coincides with the highest level of integration effectiveness between sales and marketing systems.
• Diminishing returns: once qualified leads account for 10% of total leads generated, revenue achievement remains flat even as the percentage of qualified leads increases.

This session will share how creative new approaches to content and messaging are driving acquisition, as well as lead nurturing campaigns.
Spanish consumers are pessimistic about the economy. Rising prices, unemployment, and the invasion of Ukraine are top concerns, and consumers are trading down.
In Spain, consumers are most concerned about rising prices, unemployment, and the invasion of Ukraine. Their views of the current and future state of the economy remain pessimistic, at a level comparable to attitudes in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Spend for groceries and gasoline soared, while consumers reduced money directed to savings and spent less on non-essentials. Of the 80 percent of consumers who have assumed new shopping behaviors in the last three months in search of value for money, more than half tried private labels. Trade-down in retailers visited and brands is evident, with the key drivers of choice being prices and value for money. However, 39 percent of consumers say they plan to splurge in 2022.
UK consumers are pessimistic about the economy. Rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine are top concerns, and consumers are trading down significantly.
In the United Kingdom, consumers are most concerned about rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine. Their views of the current and future state of the economy are extremely pessimistic, worse than throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic. Spend for groceries and gasoline soared, while consumers reduced spend in non-essential categories. Almost two-thirds of consumers have assumed new shopping behaviors in the last four to six weeks, with more than four out of ten trying private label. Trade-down in retailers visited and brands is evident, with the key drivers of choice being prices and value for money.
COVID-19 is no longer among Italian consumers’ top concerns. Consumers remain pessimistic about economic recovery and inflation; many aim to reduce their spend.
Italian consumers are increasingly worried about the effects of rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine. Unemployment is a number-two concern for respondents in Gen Z, millennials, and the low-income group. Almost six out of ten share a negative view of Italy’s current economic state; hopes for an economic recovery are lower than during the entire COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers observed the highest price increases in groceries and gasoline. To cope with inflation, Italian consumers are changing their purchase behavior, shifting toward discounters and private labels. The leading factors for these choices are prices and value for money.
German consumers are pessimistic about the economy. Rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine are top concerns, and we see a significant down-trade in shopping.
In Germany, consumers’ top concerns are rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine, followed by climate change and COVID-19. Pessimism about the current and future state of the economy has eased but remains at a level comparable to attitudes in the early months of the COVID-19-pandemic. As spend for groceries and gasoline soared, consumers reduced money directed to savings and spent less on non-essentials. Of the 70 percent of consumers who have assumed new shopping behaviors in the last three months, more than four out of ten tried private labels. Trade-down in stores visited and brands is clearly visible, with the key drivers of choice being prices and value for money. However, 46 percent of consumers say they plan to splurge in 2022.
For consumers in France, inflation eclipses other sources of concern. It triggers changes in shopping behaviors as consumers seek better value for money.
French consumers’ optimism regarding the economic recovery is stable at around 14 percent—a level last seen in the depths of COVID-19 lockdowns. Top sources of concern are rising prices (cited by 54 percent), followed by the invasion of Ukraine (13 percent) and climate change (10 percent) and far ahead of COVID-19 (4 percent). Nine out of ten survey respondents perceive high price inflation in the country. These trends have implications for brand and retailer loyalty: of the 73 percent of respondents saying they have tried new shopping behaviors in the last three months, 40 percent say they purchased private labels. Household products remain the category most affected by this trading-down trend.
Japanese consumers’ behaviors and finances are gradually recovering to normal, though their responses indicate a slight increase in pessimism. The long-lasting impact of COVID-19 is prolonging Japanese consumers’ intent to stay conservative about spending across categories. In a further sign of cautiousness, the trend of shrinking pessimism over the past few years reversed for the first time. Meanwhile, people’s demand for travel is rising, considering the next seasonal vacations.
Australian consumers, in view of the omicron variant, are feeling less optimistic about economic recovery than last year and remain cautious on spending.
In Australia, optimism about economic recovery has declined since the November 2020 pulse survey but remains higher than at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Six in ten consumers predict routines will return to normal only after June 2022; two-thirds do not plan to splurge in 2022. Although Australian households increased their spending in the past month, net intent to spend remains negative. Digital and omnichannel adoption continues in most categories, and intent to use out-of-home services rose. Seventy-five percent of consumers have addressed the rise of omicron by changing how they engage in out-of-home activities. Most consumers have tried a different brand or retailer, especially to switch brands in pursuit of value.
Indian consumers’ optimism has remained high since October 2021 and has reached the highest levels across other Asian markets since COVID-19 started.
Nearly three-quarters of India’s consumers are optimistic about economic recovery, and net intent to spend is growing and positive across many categories. Omnichannel usage continues across the majority of categories, and social-media influence is high, especially for Gen Z and millennials. More than 90 percent are engaging in social media and entertainment platforms. There is an upward trend for new technology, such as crypto and augmented reality/virtual reality, and consumers intend to continue digital activities as the COVID-19 crisis subsides.
About 40 percent of consumers are engaging in out-of-home activities, especially among the vaccinated segment. Most consumers have tried new shopping behaviors such as new retail outlets and new brands.
Indonesian consumers remain optimistic on the economy, expecting higher incomes and spending. Many tried and plan to keep using digital services and omnichannel methods.
In Indonesia, optimism about future economic conditions increased more than 25 percent over September 2020 from an already high base, boosted by planning for the upcoming holiday season. Eight out of ten consumers say they will dine out, shop for gifts, and redecorate. Out-of-home activities are generally rising but remain far below prepandemic levels. Optimism about the economy is tempered by views of household finances; half predict finances won’t return to normal before June. The loyalty shake-up continues, with 60 percent citing value as their primary reason to try a new brand. New digital behaviors are starting to show evidence of stickiness: 60 percent say they intend to use new shopping methods when the pandemic subsides.
Most Korean consumers expect that normalcy will return to routines only after June 2022, yet there are signs of pre-COVID-19 routines returning.
Korean customers have been less optimistic than those in other countries about the economic recovery. But optimism in Korea is much higher now than two years ago. Half of consumers indicate a desire to splurge, with intent to do so being the strongest in Gen Z and millennials. One-eighth of consumers say they have returned to out-of-home activities.
As inflation rises, French consumer hopes for economic recovery wane, with optimism sinking back to the lows of lockdown.
Optimism regarding the economic recovery has decreased to 14 percent in France—levels last seen in the depths of COVID-19 lockdown. Top sources of concern are rising prices, the invasion of Ukraine, and political uncertainty. Nine out of ten survey respondents perceive high price inflation in the country, and 60 percent expect prices to rise further over the next year. These trends have implications for loyalty: in the search for higher purchasing power, 69 percent of respondents have tried new shopping behaviors in the last four to six weeks. Household products remain the most impacted category, with 65 percent of consumers switching for cheaper options.
Pessimism about recovery is at an all-time high in the United Kingdom. Rising prices are the top concern, with consumers significantly trading down in stores and products. UK consumers are feeling great economic uncertainty. With energy and transport costs eating away at consumer savings and non-food spend, the top reasons given by survey participants for economic anxiety are the gas supply, supply-chain shortages, and energy issues. Consumers report the highest perceived price increases in groceries and household supplies, with two-thirds becoming more conscious about energy usage. Half of consumers changed their grocery brands in the last four to six weeks, with trading down a clear trend: price and value were the strongest drivers here.
Rising prices and the Ukraine invasion are top concerns for German consumers, fueling a general slide into economic pessimism.
German consumers are experiencing intense unease regarding the state of the economy and its future outlook—with public sentiment sinking lower than at any time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey participants felt the greatest concern about rising prices and the invasion of Ukraine. Spend on groceries and gasoline has soared, even as consumers cut spending in non-essential categories. Almost two-thirds have assumed new shopping behaviors in the last four to six weeks, with more than forty percent trying private-label brands. There’s a clear trade-down trend in stores visited and brands chosen, with prices and value for money as key drivers.
Across the continent, the pattern holds: Europeans are anxious about the state of their countries’ economies, and worried about the future. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and price inflation overshadow other concerns, and consumer anxieties in turn are impacting confidence in household finances and national economies, especially among vulnerable populations.
Worried about spending more on food, transport and fuel, consumers report cutting back on less essential items. Most say they’ve changed their shopping behaviors in recent months, trading down to more affordable brands and retailers. With no relief clearly in sight, 2022 continues to prove a challenging year for the continental consumer.
Spanish consumers are primarily concerned about inflation and the invasion of Ukraine, and are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the economy.
Only 14 percent of Spanish consumers are optimistic about economic recovery, with concerns focused on inflation and the invasion of Ukraine. Four in ten have an increasingly negative sense of the economic outlook—mostly due to petrol and supply-chain shortages, as well as unemployment. Price-increase Perceptions of price increases are particularly high regarding groceries (at 95 percent) and other household products. In these categories, more than half of respondents have reacted to inflation by trying less costly brands. Over the last six weeks, half have tried a private-label brand, 30 percent have switched brands, and a quarter have tried out a different retailer.
Italian consumers are increasingly pessimistic about the economy, with many aiming to reduce spending and modify consumption habits.
Italian consumers are increasingly worried about the effects of rising prices, as well as the invasion of Ukraine. Of Italians surveyed, six in ten expressed a negative view of the current economy; hopes for an economic recovery are lower than they were throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers perceived the highest price increases in groceries and fuel, along with strong increase in spend. These sentiments have translated into reduced consumption. Changed consumer behavior is also apparent, with a shift towards discounters and private-label brands. Price, value for money and availability are the biggest drivers of these choices.
