For a company to achieve sustainable growth, it is essential that the "sales" department, which knows the customers best, plays an even more important role. On the other hand, due to the enforcement of work style reform-related laws and the declining labor population, there is an increasing demand for "improving the efficiency of sales activities" with a limited number of personnel.
Therefore, "data-driven" is now attracting attention as a method to improve the efficiency of sales activities. It refers to a "scientific sales activity" approach that leverages information (data) obtained from past sales activities for future sales endeavors.
This seminar will feature a presentation by Salesforce.com Co., Ltd., which offers Einstein Analytics, a tool that automatically analyzes vast combinations of data and presents predictive insights, on new sales methods utilizing AI. Additionally, UPWARD, which advocates for a new way of working for field sales through the accumulation and visualization of visit activity information, will present case studies on how managing activity information can lead to increased sales. Furthermore, Landscape Co., Ltd., which supports essential data integration for effective database marketing, will present case studies on corporate master data management and construction to maximize the utilization of SFA/CRM.
