Sales Technology A l w a y s B e C l o s i n g
Introduction to Sales Technology
The sales process for B2B companies is changing as customer buying habits change. Readily available online information enables customers to research and learn the details of specific products and services without interacting with a salesperson. The connected and empowered buyer is driven not only by the proliferation of information but also by a behavioral change in which they prefer to find information and identify alternatives on their own. According to Forrester Research ”today’s buyers might be anywhere from two-thirds to 90% through their journey before they reach out to the vendor”.
To be successful in today’s customer-empowered environment, sales teams need to arm themselves with the best tools to convert clients once they do become interested in the product. In response, Sales Technology has evolved beyond just traditional CRM. Top performing sales teams are leveraging cutting edge technology to focus their sales efforts on the best prospects, arm themselves with the most up to date and relevant sales material, and reduce manual or repetitive tasks. Sales Technology enables sales teams to accelerate the sales cycle by doing things smarter, better and faster, and, ultimately, close more and higher quality deals. It also takes some of the uncertainty out of the sales function by enabling clear, repeatable processes, optimized by actionable data insights.
A company’s success literally depends on the performance of their sales people and it is no surprise that executives are keen to have their sales teams humming at peak performance. This is driving significant growth in the $16.6B Sales Technology market and fueling hundreds of start-ups and strong strategic interest from buyers.

Where Sales Technology Fits in the Conversion Funnel
“The first rule of any technology…is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” – Bill Gates
Sales Technology promises to do for the sales function what Marketing Technology has done for the marketing function – drive greater efficiency, effectiveness, and intelligence. Whether finding the best prospects, optimizing communications, or streamlining sales collateral, Sales Technology is becoming an invaluable tool for maximizing sales team performance.

CRM Sales Acceleration
Total U.S. Market Size ($B) in 2015
“When you improve your product so it does the customer’s job better, then you gain market share.” – Clayton Christensen
We think of Sales Technology as comprised of both traditional CRM and Sales Acceleration (essentially, everything else) technologies. While the distinction is somewhat fuzzy as CRM suites incorporate additional functionality, Sales Acceleration as a standalone opportunity is already larger than the traditional CRM market and has the potential to grow even faster.
Key Assumptions:
5.8M sales reps in the U.S. (non-retail) in 2015
1.8% increase from U.S. census 2014 estimate of 5.7M
$2,850 sales acceleration spend per sales rep in 2015
25% increase from InsideSales’ 2013 estimate
U.S. accounts for 55.7% of the global CRM market

“Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.” – Vin Scully
Significant inefficiencies exist in the sales process. Considering the cost of top sales talent and the challenging nature of the role, companies are keenly focused on optimizing their sales organizations.
The Empowered Buyer
“How is it we have so much information, but know so little?” – Noam Chomsky
Customers have access to more product information than ever before. Through company websites, white papers, web videos, infographics, social content, online review sites, etc, customers may be very well informed before they ever talk to a sales person. The challenge then is for sales reps to be able to react quickly to help customers complete the purchase journey.

Aligning Sales and Marketing
“What about the good leads?” – Shelley Levene, Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
The line between marketing and sales continues to blur. B2B marketing organizations are becoming revenue-generating centers, while salespeople are behaving like micro-marketers when they share content through social media channels. These two roles serve a shared purpose: to identify, attract, and close business for the company. Aligning sales and marketing functions ultimately leads to less finger pointing and better performance for both teams.
Marketing
Sales
Keeps marketing content consistent with
sales collateral to deliver coherent
messages to customers that are going
through more of the product journey
themselves.
More cooperation between marketing
teams and sales teams results in faster
conversion from lead to sale.
Analytics and transparency help avoid
finger pointing situations where sales
blames marketing for poor leads and
marketing blaming sales for not being able
to close.
ADVANTAGES OF SALES AND MARKETING ALIGNMENT
Aligns marketing and sales on shared
goals and KPIs, such as lead to close rate,
lead to opportunity rate, deal velocity,
average deal value growth, database
reach, engagement and other metrics.
Marketing gains better insight into which
leads result in the best ROI, allowing them
to optimize their marketing activities.
Sales can gain valuable intel on customer
needs and challenges through access to
marketing analytics, allowing them to tailor
their sales messages.
