Pipelinersales Releases Study from Baylor University - CRM: Empowering the Sales Force
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- Pipelinersales Inc. released today a case study from Baylor University entitled, CRM: Empowering the Sales Force. The study shows how one of the main reasons CRM fails is an over reliance on the technology itself rather than an overall CRM strategy. This case study details how Juniper Systems, Inc. and Integrated Systems, Inc. utilized Pipeliner CRM for their customer-centric CRM strategies.
Pipeliner CRM is built on a strategy and philosophy of empowerment of salespeople. In a practical application of this thinking, Pipelinersales Inc., is here to empower individual salespeople and return to them their entrepreneurial spirit. The CEO of Pipelinersales Nikolaus Kimla stated, "The Pipeliner CRM tool is more than an application; it stands for a principle. An entrepreneur’s task is to create knowledge and seek out opportunities for profits—in other words, to utilize the advantages that come from information. Salespeople are individuals who think and act as entrepreneurs, who take personal responsibility in freely shaping economic events."
Dr. Jeff Tanner Executive Director, Baylor Business Collaboratory, stated: "This case study is an example of the collaboration possible between forward-thinking businesses and academia. Our research nearly ten years ago identified the tension between technology to control salespeople and technology to empower them. Pipeliner clearly works to empower salespeople. The case study gave us a great opportunity to document that empowerment."
Because the sales force at Juniper Systems has a customer-centric mindset and strategy, Pipeliner was employed to empower the sales force to perform even better on the customer service standards. For Juniper Systems, one of the main objectives in implementing Pipeliner was for was visibility. Visibility makes work easier, more effective, and more time efficient resulting in better client relationships. With visibility of customer accounts, salespeople are more responsive, more aware and able to meet the client’s actual needs and wants. A salesperson can be greatly empowered if client information is readily available and organized. After the implementation of the Pipeliner software, the customer service component of its business model has been taken care of automatically increasing company growth.
For Integrated Systems, they saw their customer service suffering from a chaotic system of unstandardized reports and manual recording processes so the team decided to implement Pipeliner to help sales management. For ISI, implementation of Pipeliner improved project organization through common data definitions that enable the creation of a central dashboard. The dashboards now allow everyone, from salesperson to senior management, to see everything in one place in the same way. The visibility and organization created by the dashboard greatly increased efficiency and coordination between individuals and groups working with the same client.
Both Juniper and Integrated system had an overall CRM strategy that was coupled with Pipeliner to improve overall efficiency and empower their sales force.
The study concludes, "CRM’s potential to ease the workload, allow for management organization, make the business more efficient and empower sales representatives to better connect with the customer can change the selling landscape. When a customer centric strategy is coupled with tools found in CRM software the benefits to the consumers, sales reps and the firm overall are significant. Equipping and empowering a salesperson to better build and maintain a relationship is critical; CRM is a powerful tool to achieve effective customer relationships."
