Commercial Analytics in B2B environments is a team sport: you need to win the trust and credibility of the Sales Team to accelerate the impact of analytics and drive sustainable Pricing and Data ROI for your company.
Read this brief opinion piece on why listening to and collaborating with your Sales teams is not optional – it’s essential.
This week, I wanted to show you another simple yet effective revenue analytics technique to steer sales behavior in the right direction and drive Gross Profits.
Why is it essential to understand the business impact of Price changes and Promotional investments, and what are the analytical approaches to estimating Price elasticities?
With continued data proliferation and the democratization of popular Machine Learning methods among the data analyst community, knowing your Price and Promotional elasticities at the Customer-Product level is fundamental to Finance, Sales, and Revenue management.
Below is a quick guide summarizing a previous Revology Analytics article that demonstrates why healthy Customer Data is crucial to enabling powerful Sales Growth Analytics for companies. It also highlights steps you can take today to translate your CRM data into Revenue & Margin Growth.
A brief example of how visual analytics using Sales & Pricing metrics can be powerful in driving real, measurable change for your company.
Many middle-market companies are struggling to do action-oriented Commercial Analytics on a real-time basis. Understanding Sales, Pricing, and Margin performance vs. corporate objectives and strategies, along with proactively identifying and quantifying quick wins for improvement, is often a multi-day reactive, knee-jerk exercise. Pricing, Finance, and Commercial leaders are reticent to invest $MMs in turnkey price analytics solutions given high costs and long lead times – not to mention lack of flexibility and adoption issues that often yield a suboptimal return on investment.
Fortunately, you can do most of the above quickly, effectively (and cheaply!) using popular self-serve BI solutions like Tableau or Power BI.
Unproductive inventory often accounts for 20-30% of wholesale businesses’ merchandise. For many, it’s just the cost of doing business. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Unproductive inventory ties up your cash, erodes your profitability, and puts you at the risk of not meeting debt obligations for your asset-backed loans. Automated markdown pricing is one of the most effective ways to address this problem, and simple analytical solutions (no “ML and AI) can often yield significant benefits. Learn more below how.
I welcome your comments or similar experiences.
Fixing our CRM data hygiene should be a top leadership priority to drive sales productivity and revenue growth. However, for many B2B environments particularly in Manufacturing and Wholesale, there’s often a big disconnect between strategy and execution. Companies spend a disproportionate time and investment on market research studies to understand their buyer archetypes and personas, only to stop at great Power Points, executive updates and cross-functional pontifications.
Meanwhile, the CRM systems are plagued by outdated and missing data and no value- or needs-based segmentation information, which lays the foundation for automated lead scoring or prescriptive capabilities like upsell, cross-sell or churn mitigation.
Now is the time to act and start treating our holistic CRM data with the attention and priority it deserves!
