Even if you’ve got the most cutting-edge technology, a well-oiled manufacturing operation, tight financial goals and the best leaders, nothing else matters until you’ve got the sales engine running. When the organisation relies on you to manage sales and bring in profits, it can be a high-stress situation. There are months when your team sails past their quotas and it seems like your department can do no wrong, and then there are months when you worry your team won’t hit their number. Instead of swinging back and forth between these extremes, you ask yourself ‘how can I be smarter so my team can always be closing? This is where Sales Intelligence comes into the picture.

2. WHAT
Even if you’ve got the most cutting-edge technology, a well-oiled manufacturing operation, tight
financial goals and the best leaders, nothing else matters until you’ve got the sales engine running.
When the organisation relies on you to manage sales and bring in profits, it can be a high-stress
situation. There are months when your team sails past their quotas and it seems like your
department can do no wrong, and then there are months when you worry your team won’t hit
their number. Instead of swinging back and forth between these extremes, you ask yourself ‘how
can I be smarter so my team can always be closing? This is where Sales Intelligence comes into
the picture.
Sales data v. Sales Intelligence
Sales data refers to basic prospect information like company size, location, revenue, industry
focus etc. Sales data is useful but that’s really only the first step because it’s not going to help you
close more deals. What differentiates ‘Sales Intelligence’ from ‘Sales Data’ is the level of insights,
and what you need is turning that all that messy data into intelligence which your sales rep can
action.
Sales Intelligence:
Sales Intelligence (or Sales Analytics) refers to information collected from technologies,
application and practices to accelerate the sales process to close deals and drive business.
This might sound obvious but for
any organisation, Sales is the key
department driving revenue and
growth for the business.

3. WHY
Sales Intelligence gives you the ability to drill down into your sales function to monitor, measure
and manage deals effectively. According to Aberdeen Group, best-in-class companies which
rely on sales intelligence see a 12.3% average yearly increase in overall team attainment of
sales quota and an 8% average year-over-year increase in average deal size or contract value.
With Sales intelligence you can:
• stay on top of key metrics that will drive sales
• establish sales patterns which will be useful in setting sales budgets in future
• create a culture of daily accountability for your sales rep
• see who’s crushing quotas and who’s lagging behind
What makes Sales Intelligence so hot?
• analyse pipeline opportunities to determine actions required to meet sales targets
• understand which competitors are faced most and why the deals were lost
With the amount of data organisations deal with today, sales don’t need more data…they need
business intelligence that can be converted into sales specific strategies and actions.
If you’re like most organisations, you depend on your CRM and associated systems to manage
sales pipeline and forecasts. The challenge herein is this: sales data is stored in multiple
systems and the number of customisations you’ve made to your CRM creates a slew of
reporting problems that make it extremely difficult to track how opportunities are moving
through the pipeline, making forecasts a very scary process.
To get a clearer picture, you wait for IT and reporting teams to run custom queries and wrangle
spreadsheets to build your forecast – a slow, laborious and time-consuming process.
