Hinweis der Redaktion
I’d like to discuss InsideView can help you increase your sales productivity.
There is a fundamental shift that is taking place – social media is changing customer buying behavior. And this has big implications for how sales organizations can sell to such customers. And we think that SalesView, our flagship product, can help sales organizations be more effective and productive, and take advantage of this fundamental shift.
Our flagship product, SalesView is the only sales productivity solution in the market. Market-leading companies – including Adobe, SuccessFactors, and United Healthcare – are using SalesView to dramatically transform their sales organizations and get measurable results in improved sales velocity and higher win rates.
There’s a fundamental shift taking place amongst today’s customers. One that we call Customer 2.0.
Today’s customers are very savvy – they mainly rely on social media and their networks – to learn about how to solve their specific business challenges and to research solutions
They no longer listen to vendors and analysts. They listen to peers who review products they are looking to buy
Today’s customers are not very responsive to traditional marketing and sales campaigns – email blasts, cold-calls, etc
They want sales & marketing organizations to be much more relevant to their needs & challenges, and also know when to reach them.
Unlike before – when customers needed to also be educated as part of the buying cycle, Customer 2.0 is likely to have already researched solutions by the time they become “leads”.
Sales organizations need to align with Customer 2.0’s expectations, in order to engage with them
They need to make sure that they know how to reach their prospects, when to reach them, and how to be relevant to their specific business needs and challenges
For sales organizations, transforming their processes so that they can better reach Customer 2.0 can be a daunting challenge.
Many sales organizations use a variety of traditional media, CRM, and social media tools. And some don’t even have either CRM apps or use social media tools.
They might use LinkedIn to check contacts, use Hoovers to check company information, and then manually enter the data into their CRM. When researching an account, they might do a Google search or before a customer meeting, do a Twitter search to see if there are any conversations about the prospect Company.
While these approaches are a step in the right direction, they are very manual, fragmented and disconnected, and are neither productive nor very effective in finding relevant business challenges of their prospects and urgent initiatives that their specific contacts are working on. Plus, it is very hard for every rep to do this for every customer interaction in a easy and efficient manner
At InsideView, we believe that leading sales organizations are adopting a new approach, Social Selling, to reach customer 2.0 – while at the same time being effective and productive.
Social Selling consists of the following components – Listen, Connect, and Engage
Listening to your prospects and customers, so that you can understand their unique needs and business challenges
Connecting with them through networks that are common between you and your prospects
Engaging with them in a relevant conversation about what value you can provide to address their unique needs and challenges
Sales organizations need to be able to Listen to their prospects and customers, so that they can understand their unique needs and business challenges.
They need to be able to listen to what prospects are saying, what the prospect’s customers are saying to each other. The end goal is to really be able to zero in on key business trigger events that could lead to a selling opportunity – such as leadership changes, expanding operations, new compliance requirements, or competitor events
Understanding prospects and customers requires that sales organizations monitor not only social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc) but also traditional media – consisting of company/contact directories, news sources, trade journals, press releases, SEC filings etc.
Insideview makes the job of listening to customer-to-customer conversations (in social media) and traditional media sources very simple, easy, and automated. We monitor and aggregate information from 20,000+ traditional and social media sources, generate relevant and intelligent insights on business events, and make these insights easily accessible – via the web, mobile, and/or CRM.
After listening to identify the right sales opportunities at the right time, you need to connect with the right person within the sales organization
While sales reps can reach a few contacts through their personal networks, they can increase their reach exponentially by relying on networks of their previous employers, co-workers and reference customers
InsideView allows you to leverage your existing relationships, helps you discover new professional connections, and maximizes the potential of your network for connecting with your customers & prospects
Listening to your customers and prospects to learn about their key business challenges and needs and connecting with the right person, allows you to engage the prospects (and customers) in relevant conversations at the right time.
Instead of the traditional cold-calling techniques that waste valuable time for both sales reps and prospects, you can now have a meaningful conversation with prospects that are ready to engage and buy.
Here’s an example scenario: <Use your own examples that are most relevant to your prospects>
At InsideView, we take pride in using Social Selling techniques for our own sales and marketing efforts and are our own best customer
One of our reps got a SalesView alert on Xactly’s acquisition of Centive, and quickly learned that Cory at Xactly was the right person to speak to; The rep was also able to learn that his boss and Cory had been colleagues at Salesforce.com.
Using both of these critical pieces of information, the rep reached out to Cory at Xactly and had a relevant conversation that led to a very fast sales deal
SalesView is the only sales intelligence and productivity solution in the market, that is built from the ground-up for selling to Customer 2.0
We help you listen to your prospects and customers by aggregating and analyzing information from social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Blogs, and a number of others) and traditional media (news, company & contact data, trade journals, etc), and providing the most relevant insights in a very easy-to-use format right where you need it.
We also help you connect with the right people within your prospect and customer organizations by leveraging your existing as well as hidden professional networks such as reference customers, co-workers, and former employers.
At InsideView, our customers’ success is our mantra, throughout our organization.
We ensure your success with SalesView through our comprehensive portfolio of services:
Value-added consulting services to help you transform your sales organization into a best-in-class organization that is focused on improving sales velocity and productivity, and to get you up and running quickly with SalesView
Blended and tailored education services to meet your unique training needs

We deliver value to our customers using the well-honed expertise of our expert teams and well-defined roll-out processes. We strive to deliver results – your sales productivity and effectiveness are what matter most to us.
SalesView can help you get significant improvements in productivity across your revenue cycle – you might call it the Campaign-Renewal cycle.
Whether you’re looking to get more results from your marketing, inside sales, or field sales efforts, SalesView can help:
For lead generation, SalesView can help you get a much higher quality of leads than traditional marketing data providers
Many InsideView customers shave off a 1-2 hours/rep/day that their sales reps need to spend in researching prospects and at the same time are realizing higher lead conversion rates
For field sales organizations, using SalesView can help speed up the sales cycles and increase win rates, because the reps can create a value proposition that meets their prospect’s unique business challenges and urgent initiatives
SalesView can also help field sales organizations increase account revenue and renewal rates by enabling them to increase their wallet share within their accounts and drive higher renewal rates
For sales management, SalesView can improve sales productivity across the sales organization - for new reps as well as experienced reps. Many InsideView customers report much higher rates of CRM adoption soon after deploying SalesView, because reps find the intelligence provided by SalesView indispensable
The benefits you’ll hear cited by our individual customers are corroborated by a recent Aberdeen Group study on the impact of various sales intelligence solutions. The study, which surveyed over 400 companies, found that InsideView customers are achieving 32% better performance than non-customers in current lead conversion rates and quota attainment. And despite the 2008 and 2009 recession, InsideView customers have actually posted year-over-year gains in quota attainment, revenue, win rates, and lead conversion rates!

Aggregation is the first step required in listening and understanding your prospect
InsideView brings together the best information from traditional data providers, emerging Web 2.0 sources, and social media
We then apply technology to compare similar company and contact profiles from many different data sources, identify likely matches, reconcile any conflicting data points, and then generate the most complete and accurate record possible -- what we call a Smart Record.
For example, a single Smart Record might represent the compilation of
a title and biography from Thomson Reuters
a board memberhsip from Capital IQ
an email address and direct phone # from Jigsaw or NetProspex
work history from news, press releases or social media
professional intererests and other insights from Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn
Our approach gives you the most complete and accurate profiles possible, along with unique insights from social media you won’t find anywhere else

Our Smart Agent technology automatically monitors and alerts your sales reps about key selling opportunities and threats in their accounts
Your team can leverage an existing library of Standard Agents like leadership changes, new product launches, M&A activity, etc.
And you can quickly create your very own Custom Agents to identify whatever unique business events represent an opportunity for your company
Our intelligence helps you find the right trigger events so you know when to engage and never worry about missing an opportunity
After listening to identify the right sales opportunities at the right time, you need to connect with the right person to get engagement
InsideView allows you to leverage both your existing and untapped professional connections
Our integrations with LinkedIn and Facebook allow you to quickly tap into your existing network of personal connections
And our Smart Connection technology discovers new professional connections you didn’t know existed via your customers, your colleagues, and your work history

Named Account Management
Need for hierarchy information
Access to Named Account information
Demographics for territory account assignments
The current application…

No Integration with CRM (SFDC)
Too much manual effort to obtain information
Why InsideView:

Access to high level contacts & Account hierarchies
People, Key Info, Watchlists, Buzz, Competition, News
Increase Marketing Campaign effectiveness
Provided a more robust database of leads (quantity & quality)

Named Account Management
InsideView provided the Account hierarchies
InsideView provided Access to Named Account information
InsideView provided Demographics for territory account assignments
Challenge:
CEO/CFO target – need relevant conversation starter, events drive conversation
30% of business from referrals
Growing from 90 reps to 135 reps due to acquisition – need to increase new rep ramp up time
Need to drive sales productivity by 15% - with expected LTV revenue of 500K per rep
Why InsideView:
Relevant interaction increases sales velocity
Intelligent prospecting
Targeted prospecting
Provide value in context as part of the existing sales process
New Geo Expansion anecdote:
600 targets in Atlanta
15 closed accounts 3 months later (much faster than earlier geo expansion efforts)
Resulting in LTV of over $2M
Challenge:
Reliance on prospect data from multiple commercial sales database subscriptions, with inaccurate, aging, or conflicting information
Excessive account research time taking away from rep productivity
Difficulty connecting with senior executives in target companies
Inaccurate and incomplete data in CRM
SuccessFactors had been using InsideView as a pilot since 2006, and expanded the deployment in 2007 since the solution was ideal for their top-down selling focus. After careful evaluation of several other solutions, SuccessFactors aligned all 170 sales staff members around InsideView in 2008.
Why InsideView:
Even when SuccessFactors transitioned from their old CRM system into Salesforce.com, there was no disruption to the sales intelligence available to the sales reps
InsideView’s Smart Connections find new connections into sales prospects by surfacing how targeted individuals are connected to “friendlies” inside SuccessFactors’ customer network through colleagues, common board of directors, previous employers, or reference customers.
InsideView’s Smart Agents arm sales reps with reasons to reach out to prospects and engage them in conversation by delivering timely and relevant intelligence on key events and business activities, such leadership changes and expanding operations.
InsideView’s native CRM mash-up delivers intelligence about each target account exactly where the sales reps need it – within their Salesforce.com lead or account window – making the reps far more productive.
SalesView’s native integration with Salesforce.com improves CRM usage, while the synchronization feature increases the quality of the CRM data with single-click update of Salesforce.com data.
Challenge:
Overall team productivity, particularly for new hires, and historically low adoption/utilization of sales intelligence tools by the sales team.
Why InsideView:
Using SalesView they were able to improve prospecting and account development activities across the sales team, particularly for new hires and reps inheriting a new territory. With SalesView they were able to get up to speed and engage with their named accounts much more quickly and efficiently. And leveraging Smart Agents & Connections, they could determine which companies to engage and when based on key business events, relationships to existing customers, company executives, etc. This led to a 30% increase in productive, quota attaining sales reps across the team in just one year. A big part of the lift came from new hires and existing reps working new territories.
The relevant insights provided by SalesView specific to each reps territory, along with the native CRM integration that delivers this information within each account/lead/contact/etc, led to 100% adoption of SalesView across the sales team. In fact Ariba expanded their use of SalesView several times, growing from a regional proof of concept to a global roll-out and standardization across sales & marketing.
Ariba also uses InsideView for targeted prospecting for their field marketing activities and were able to move the customer to prospect ration in their field marketing event from 90/10 to 60/40, while maintaining the quality and quantity of the attendees.
Challenge:
Inaccurate and incomplete data in Salesforce.com
Reliance on lists generated from multiple sources with often conflicting information, including Salesforce.com, Jigsaw and Hoover’s
Insufficient prospecting activity - both horizontally and vertically
No “single source of truth” for account opportunity or territory management
Why InsideView:
After evaluating Hoover’s, OneSource and Jigsaw, Innotas selected SalesView for the following reasons, all critical to the company’s effective reach into the SMB business market, their sweet spot.
SalesView has a native integration with Salesforce.com. The CRM mash-up delivers intelligence about each target account exactly where the sales reps need it
SalesView presents multiple threads into an opportunity – and the intelligence is more fresh and complete since it is aggregated from multiple sources.
SalesView includes not just static business data like some other providers but also timely business news and alerts on prospect companies.
SalesView scans a wide breadth of data sources across the social Web – not just business data. Access to social intelligence increases the rep’s chances of reaching prospects, either via actual introductions or the initiation of “warmer” calls.
SalesView’s native integration with Salesforce.com improves CRM usage and quality of CRM data.
Challenge:
Brought in to revamp sales and marketing efforts in Sept ‘08
MS Dynamics CRM and Hoover’s were already in place, however:
Prospect database was obsolete and inaccurate
Retail and QSR contacts (the target market!) were practically impossible to get through Hoover’s
Needed executive level contacts in target companies – especially marketing titles
Sales team didn’t use CRM solution regularly
Why InsideView
SalesView trial demonstrated significant value over Hoover’s
Depth of contacts was far superior to Hoover’s based on head-to-head tests in few active campaigns
Alerts brought relevant news about target accounts directly to the sales team
Adopted SalesView even though 6 months left on the Hoover’s contract
More accurate data = Targeted prospecting = better leads
Customized marketing campaigns directed only at select titles at companies meeting relevant trigger event criteria
Relevant interaction with prospects = Proactive sales people = Accelerated sales cycles
Intelligence to call the right people at the right time
Timely and relevant insights to make entry into new accounts or revisit existing accounts
Business or social connections to turn a cold call “warm”
Accessed within our CRM platform = CRM system more valuable to reps
Another one of our customers, Advantage, I’ve mentioned them before, they wanted to build pipeline.
Challenge:
Improve the quality and amount of sales leads
Easily create customizable agents to alert sales on potential sales leads
Smoothly integrate regional searches with smart agents
Decrease time spent researching sales leads
Aggregate sources of candidate intelligence and route them to the appropriate recruitment channels quickly and efficiently
Why InsideView:
Application is highly intuitive
Customization of smart agents is easy to use and manipulate
SalesView scans a wide breadth of data sources across the social Web delivering fresh and complete intelligence
By using our Smart Agents to find targeted, high-quality leads they are now seeing a 50% lead to opportunity conversion rate, which is 4 to 5X any previous lead source. And in the first 60 days alone they were able to close $200k of net new revenue. So for them, it’s not only about efficiency, it’s also about growing the pipeline.

Today’s customers are not very responsive to traditional marketing and sales campaigns – email blasts, cold-calls, etc
They want sales & marketing organizations to be much more relevant to their needs & challenges, and also know when to reach them.
Unlike before – when customers needed to also be educated as part of the buying cycle, Customer 2.0 is likely to have already researched solutions by the time they become “leads”.
But most customers still might not know exactly what they need and how much value they can get, in terms of specific solutions.
In order to be effective and productive, sales organizations can no longer use traditional selling approaches – contact lists and cold-calls – to reach Customer 2.0
They need to make sure that they know how to reach their prospects, when to reach them, and how to be relevant to their specific business needs and challenges
For sales organizations, transforming their processes so that they can better reach Customer 2.0 can be a daunting challenge.
