Sales Forecasting: How to Leverage Your Data to Drive Sales Success

Today's consumers come to the negotiating table with more information than ever before. They’ve researched your products online; they’ve read the reviews; they’ve scanned the social channels. For your sales channels to effectively work with these educated buyers, they need onboarding and enablement that goes way beyond basic access to marketing and sales assets. Based on more than a decade of experience deploying sales enablement software, we at CallidusCloud know that you need a dynamic solution that delivers training, content, and coaching in a prescriptive way, if you want to generate consistent revenue growth. 

Attend this session to learn how to:

•Close deals faster and increase deal sizes and win rates, while reducing time-consuming enablement efforts. 
•Establish a repeatable onboarding process that reduces new staff time to productivity. 
•Deliver content in a prescriptive way that advances today's more informed buyers through the sales process.

Smarter Buyers Require Smarter Sellers: The New World of Sales Enablement

Abstract: 

The B2C buyer experience has profoundly changed over the past five years. B2B sellers are learning how to translate many of the same lessons and successes to improve the buying experience for their customers and to improve their own profitability.

Learn the 4 trends driving the evolution of CPQ in B2B Sales and what to look for and expect from your CPQ solution.

Creating Customer Value & Seller Profitability: How the B2C buying experience is

Salesperson activity is an important indicator of organizational productivity and effectiveness, but presents significant data collection challenges. Join us during this first look webinar as we investigate how sales organizations account for salesperson activity, and the nature of the insights they gain through such efforts.
Topics addressed include the nature and quality of salesperson activity tracking, the methods utilized to collect information, the types of activities considered most important to track, and the various ways management applies activity data.

How to Improve Sales Productivity and Effectiveness

Investing effectively for the best possible benefits and increasing return on investment creates competition among priorities for investment spend. Research shows that investment in SPM technology improves sales productivity and increases top line revenue, alleviating the competition between priorities. However, 85% of European companies still rely on manual, error-prone processes to manage sales performance. In this webinar we will set out the case for prioritising investment in SPM Technology, identifying the financial and non-financial benefits that SPM technology delivers.

Sales Performance Management Technology: Building a Case for Investment

In a changing market, ensuring sellers are effectively enabled is key to success—often easier said than done. While many companies have instituted a Sales Enablement function, they struggle through its execution. The disconnect between those with high expectations for Sales Enablement and those performing the role has made the whole process extremely painful.  Only 1/3 of organizations have met or exceeded their Sales Enablement outcomes in the last two years. So what are you waiting for? Watch and learn as our experts talk about how to: 
 
- Align the expectations and execution of your Sales Enablement function 
- Ensure your sales leaders and sales enablement roles are in lock-step 
- Apply the Sales Enablement Performance Model in your own organization 
- Place the customer at the center of your sales enablement efforts

Sales Enablement: Making the Pain Worth the Gain

B2B companies are looking for ways to provide a great B2C-style buying experience for their customers as a competitive advantage. CPQ provides B2B companies the opportunity to deliver great buying experiences across all channels, without over-rotating toward eCommerce.

Join guest speaker, John Bruno, Analyst from Forrester Research and Giles House, EVP of Product & CMO at CallidusCloud, as they explain how sales technologies have transformed and how CPQ positions B2B companies to deliver and support consistently high quality customer experiences.

Leverage CPQ To Deliver A World Class Customer Experience

In today's complex B2B sales environment, realizing the full benefits of the sales tool set depends on many factors, namely integration. Over 33% of the organizations studied have minimal to no integration between their sales tools.
Through this sales tool integration study, it's been proven that the integration of sales tools with each other and CRM systems result in remarkably better sales outcomes. We want you to be able to generate revenue significantly easier and improve your sales process effectiveness. Watch DemandMetric and CallidusCloud to learn why only 15% of the study respondents use 5 or more of the tool categories and what are the top barriers of integrating sales tools.

- What is the impact of trapping your sales tools in disconnected silos?
- What is the current state of tool integration?
- What benefits come when tools are integrated?

Better Together: Integrating Your Sales Tools Can Accelerate Sales Performance

Sales coaching is widely acknowledged as a high value productivity investment, a view reinforced by Sales Management Association research. Yet few sales forces have impactful coaching programs due in part to the challenges of effectively allocating management’s limited coaching bandwidth.

Sales Planning

Balancing territories properly is critical for maximizing your sales force's success, and doing so correctly means using data to establish sales territories that will reach their full profit potential.

Gartner estimated that, on average, enterprises will miss the equivalent of 10 percent of total sales in lost revenue that could have been captured with improved processes for defining, assigning and managing territories, quotas and compensation plans. Without data, territory mapping and quota calculations become subjective, favor certain sales reps, and often do not maximize the company's overall revenue potential.

Join us for this webinar and learn how to:

- Simplify and accelerate the territory and quota planning process
- Reduce the risk of errors in the planning process
- Use data to avoid the most common territory planning pitfalls
- Give reps clarity on how quotas are calculated and improve sales rep retention
