■Speaking at "Sales Tech Forum 2019" on May 17 (Fri.)
Our President and CEO, Tatsuyoshi Kaneki, will be speaking at this forum. The field sales (outbound sales) area, which is UPWARD's main business domain, is a field where technological innovation is particularly lagging. Conventionally, there are many cases where the "last one mile" situation with customers is personal and a black box, such as what kind of activities a salesperson who has gone out is doing to develop customers, whether they are making efficient route sales, and what kind of conversations are being had with customers. Although an environment has been created where sales activities can be carried out efficiently by utilizing SFA, etc., there are still not many companies that are "visualizing" the sales field in real time and sharing information quickly to improve productivity. In this lecture, titled "Field Sales Revolution," we will introduce specific examples of companies that have solved these issues and dramatically improved productivity.
