CRM Win-Loss Optimization
Consulting designed to maximize the integrity of competitive win/loss reports and underlying win/loss statistics derived from Salesforce.com and other popular CRM platforms.
Accurate win/loss data is mission critical to every competitive analysis program. Without it, you might as well pack up and go home. You have no clue as to where to make your competitive analysis investments or what impact the competition should have on your product roadmap.
Too many cybersecurity vendors give up on the notion that it’s possible for their CRM (such as Salesforce.com, SAP Hybris Sales Cloud, Oracle CRM, and Microsoft Dynamics) to capture accurate win/loss data – mainly due to the “garbage in, garbage out” mindset. “Garbage in” results when sales personnel are not properly tracking competitive influences in forecasted opportunities. “Garbage out” refers to inaccurate win/loss data infecting your reports.
Well, CyberEdge has incredible news! It is possible to virtually eliminate inaccurate win/loss data. And it’s much easier than you think. CyberEdge can work with key company stakeholders in sales and marketing, and your CRM administrator, to optimize your CRM in the following ways:
- Introduce a third opportunity closed status called “Closed – No Decision”
- Enable “technical enforcement” to require population of key opportunity fields
- Implement new opportunity fields, such as:
- Competitor pick lists
- Opportunity winner
- Closed – Won reasons
- Closed – Lost reasons
- Closed – No Decision reasons
- Competitor win/loss reports
The deliverable for this engagement is a comprehensive report depicting all of the agreed-upon changes to be made to your CRM by your CRM administrator. This entire project can be completed within just two to three weeks.
Why select CyberEdge to help optimize your CRM? We’re glad you asked.
