Create a Revenue Command Center to accelerate revenue recovery and growth
Master the world of B2B digital, virtual and collaborative selling
Businesses are facing disruptions at a speed and scale never experienced before. Senior leaders readily admit that it is difficult to develop definitive return plans due to the many uncertainties around a virus resurgence, the future of remote work, and evolving changes to buying behaviors, among others.
For industrial or engineered products and services companies, this poses a significant challenge to the effectiveness of existing sales and marketing models. The shift to remote work has likely impacted your ability to conduct sales visits, attend trade shows, or host demonstrations in your innovation centers that showcase your expertise, technical capabilities and fit with customer needs.
To achieve this you will need to have better real time insights to evolve customer experience, adapt elements of your strategy through experiment and learning, carefully re-plan your next few quarters, and fully embrace digital and virtual commerce to accommodate a different future of business interactions. The good news is that this can be accomplished in weeks not months. An accelerated impact will require:
- An ability to rapidly sense and respond
- Adoption of readily available digital tools
- Agility and authority to adapt to key actions and respond to shifting dynamics
B2B leaders embracing these shifts early are gaining market share by establishing a Revenue Command Center approach - which helps bring together marketing and sales leaders, connects a set of analyses and data tools, helps organize agile problem-solving workshops, and a focused approach to reach your customers - to help drive Sales, Marketing and Service innovations.
