David Brierley, VP of Sales, EMEA and APAC for Pyramid Analytics selected Dealmaker Sales Performance Manager to identify early warning signs in his pipeline.
“Sometimes sales feels like a game of hide-and-seek, with teams scrambling to nail their forecasts and frustrated managers working with limited information,” said Brierley. “What Sales Performance Manager does is make the whole pipeline transparent, so sales leaders are able to actually anticipate risks and opportunities and strategize around them, improving both customer experiences as well as revenue streams. Pyramid Analytics has been experiencing aggressive growth, so we chose Sales Performance Manager to identify obstacles early and accelerate our pipeline, so our velocity can match that expansion. Our end goal is to engage our customers quickly and effectively, boosting customer satisfaction and sales.”
“The frontline sales manager has one of the toughest jobs on the planet. It is really hard to keep doing the sales management basics that matter, when they are pulled in so many different directions, by so many people, with so little insight into what it takes to really do the job,” said Mike Weinberg, author of Sales Management. Simplified. “Winning deals matters, sales forecasts matter, pipeline development matters, salespeople matter and customers matter. Nothing else matters — not spending all your time in front of a screen updating the CRM or trying to understand the status of your opportunities. Great sales managers know that they have to apply proven sales management practices that work every day in the trenches. I welcome any system that helps them stick to the basics, and takes some of the pain away, because there–s pain there every day. That–s the way it is.”
