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

“Every problem is a gift – without problems we would not grow.” – Anthony Robbins
The sales process is unpredictable and inefficient. Sales Technologies take some of the burden off of sales people by
standardizing and automating processes and addressing critical pain points.

“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.

AGC Sales Technology Report JUL2016

  • 1. Sales Technology A l w a y s B e C l o s i n g
  • 2. 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. 2 Sales Technology Empowers Sales Teams to be More Efficient and Effective Massive $16.6 Billion U.S. Market (excluding CRM)
  • 3. 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. 3 Awareness Interest Consideration Intent Evaluation Decision Purchase Leads Prospects Customers MARKETING TECHNOLOGY SALES TECHNOLOGY Classification Near-Term Prospects Marketing / Sales Functions Advertising, Search, Social, Outbound Prospecting, Content Marketing, Event Marketing Website Tracking, Optimization, Email Marketing, Lead Scoring, CRM Quotes, Documentation Inside Sales, Outside Sales, Presentations Purchase Funnel
  • 4. Sales Technology is a Massive Opportunity 4 Source: U.S. Census, Gartner, InsideSales $14.6 $16.6 CRM Sales Acceleration Total U.S. Market Size ($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

  • 10. 10 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.
