Not just ROI; how’s your RAO?
18-Jul-2016
The Promotion Optimization Institute discusses seven key considerations for CG companies to keep in mind when selecting technology to improve in-store execution:
- User experience. The solution should be intuitive – quite simply, if the field users hate it, they won’t want to use it.
- Functionality. The solution should provide transactional functionality for efficiency and compliance.
- Analytics and ‘sell more’ capabilities. The solution should provide analytical capabilities to make appropriate decisions at both the store and the back-office level so your field sales teams can work smarter and sell more.
- Expertise and best practices. A comprehensive CRM solution which leads your field sales teams through a guided selling process sets them up to succeed. Utilising fact-based selling with historical data access empowers ‘best in class’ activities.
- Geographic coverage and support. Have full visibility of your distributed team, alongside local support capabilities.
- Responsiveness and track record. Being responsive and agile assists with consistency of execution.
- Strength of roadmap. Is the solution you choose going to be able to meet your team’s needs in the next few years?
