Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic’s domination on the world, business leaders had already embraced advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, and for good reason. Expecting the capabilities of these technologies to offer between $9.5 trillion and $15.4 trillion in annual economic value.

However, with the news of progress on analytics and artificial intelligence, it still took plenty of time. At present, time is a luxury that business leaders don’t have. Business leaders are faced with too many hurdles and uncertainties brought about by the upending of business as usual.

Every decision that business owners make today can change their business’s path for years to come. With the uncharted waters and constant waves shifting, it’s no surprise that sales intelligence has become an essential navigational tool. 

Here’s what this article will bring to your business:

• Understanding of Sales Intelligence

What is Sales Intelligence?

With all the sales jargon businesses have to deal with, sales analytics or sales intelligence is the most important.

Sales intelligence consists of a wide range of technologies that helps and supports salespeople to find, monitor, and understand customer data. The data in return, provides insights into prospects’ and existing clients’ daily business. These insights can also help sales teams stay up to date on any changes to their target audience or organizations.

Why Sales Intelligence Matters Now?

Sales intelligence gives sales team’s and its salespeople relevant information and insight into who their campaigns are reaching, as well as the prospects they are selling to. From there, they can formulate solutions and adjustments that align better performance of sales teams as well as generating successful long-term results.

How Sales Intelligence Helps Businesses

Data and insights are both powerful tools, when used correctly. This is a challenge many businesses are still facing but when data is processed into actionable insights it helps to support smarter business decisions. Better business decisions lead to customer satisfaction and retention. Which, ultimately, is the primary goal of almost every business owner.

In all its forms, sales intelligence and analytics are designed to help your team perform their job better. Here are several ways this can happen.

Higher Productivity

With the help of sales intelligence tools your sales reps can gain perspective and automatically prioritize follow-ups as well as segment their leads to value-based or qualification-based groups. This is commonly known as lead-scoring. Using this approach allows them to save time normally consumed by manual sorting and the needless effort of chasing unqualified, cold, and low-interest leads.

More Rewarding Conversations

Sales conversation circles around the product, rather than the customer’s preferences, goals, hesitations, etc.

It’s no wonder that 57% of customers feel that salespeople in general are underprepared for their first meeting and fail to personalize the conversation. Sales intelligence gives you the advantage of access to important information, so as to gain the upper hand on areas/topics where your leads are most responsive. Thus, allowing salespeople to direct the conversation to those points.

In a way, sales intelligence insights help your business identify interests so you are able to craft the most appropriate talking points based on each customer profile. The more personalized your talking points are, the more likely you are to win leads for your business.

Shorten sales cycles

Sales reps often pursue the wrong prospects and try to sell their products or services that lead to an extended buying cycle. With the right sales intelligence data, combined with intent data, you’ll be able to identify the contacts that are ready to purchase. Thus, reducing the average lead-to-close time, eventually leading to shorter sales cycles.

Smarter Sales Strategies

Sales Intelligence assists sales decision-makers (CFOs, CMOs, sales directors, etc.) by offering them the option to extract specific insights from the network of workflows and databases that characterize their department.

Sales managers can use these insights to build stronger strategies, resulting in better engagement from prospects and improves their lead conversion ratio, which eventually, helps generate more revenue.
