A Message from our Founder

Embracing Change is the Best Business Strategy

Businesses, especially mature companies, are known for resisting change because for them, change is a manifestation of risk. They generally have a proven solution, a process everyone is comfortable with and thus even when a better solution presents itself, they don’t want to change the status quo because of the inherent risks. To be sure, depending on the enterprise and type of solution, these risks can be real or imaginary.

Though few businesses openly talk about such behavior, the most common concerns include:

Possible Disruptions

Businesses are concerned that adopting a new solution would cause disruptions and there would be a significant loss of productivity.

Overhead Costs

Adopting a new solution means dedicating additional time and resources for training and reskilling employees, not to mention the inevitable short term loss of productivity, which are tangible costs in addition to the cost of the solution itself.

Personal Liability

Most mature companies have a buying center to make purchase decisions and for that reason, many decision-makers simply pass the buck to others to escape personal liability.

An extreme example of such behavior is the financial industry that’s been resisting new solutions for so long that most of the banks have their core banking systems still made of legacy technologies from the 1960s and thus spend millions of dollars every year just on maintenance and patchwork!

Being a relatively new player in the market, we have experienced resistance to change in the data space where businesses pay high costs for inferior data and yet are skeptical to move to a better solution. The current market uncertainty has only amplified such behavior instead of looking for a more efficient solution.

No, I am not saying businesses should jump to every new solution they find or that there are no real risks because of course that isn’t true. Some of the concerns are absolutely valid and that’s why SalesIntel has worked hard to build a flawless onboarding system to mitigate all the risks.

From platform integration to employee training, it takes just a few hours for a company to start using SalesIntel ensuring minimum disruption and zero cost overheads. Every single one of our clients has appreciated our quick, simple, and seamless process. For them, switching their data partner was as simple as flipping a switch!

The only risks with adopting SalesIntel are the imaginary ones and it’s important that you overcome them for a better solution and prosperous future.

DATE: June 11th // TIME: 1:00 – 1:30 PM (ET)

Over the last 20+ years the number of outside sales professionals and in-person sales calls have steadily declined. These trends have accelerated with better virtual sales tools and shifts in what’s being sold over time(SaaS vs on-premise software solutions being a perfect example). All of this drastically accelerated as a result of the pandemic and highlighted these trends as almost everyone has had to adapt to selling at a distance.

For those who were already transitioning and those of us thrown in the digital deep end in the work from home (WFH) movement the question remains the same: How do you reposition yourself and optimize your strategies for better outcomes (like yesterday)? Join us as the President of B2BMarketing, John Coe, and SalesIntel’s VP of Growth, Jason Hubbard, share their experiences and talk about the future of outside sales.
