The days when a salesperson could carry the company catalog around in his or her head have disappeared. From high-tech to low-tech industries, today's salesperson often represents thousands of products available in countless permutations. According to Thomas Siebel and Michael Malone, although more than 500 companies are rushing to market with information technology to aid millions of salespeople worldwide, these systems are destined to fail. Why? Because, the authors argue, they focus only on improving efficiency, rather than on increasing the effectiveness of the selling process.
Instead, Siebel and Malone demonstrate the need to incorporate Sales Force Automation (SFA) within an overall philosophy that supports the sales force by fully informing sales reps to assist them in real selling, not just data recording and analysis. The authors show how this new vision, called Virtual Selling, will spearhead a new generation of SFA design to provide powerful tools - from opportunity management systems and marketing encyclopedias to product configurations and team selling across multiple distribution channels - which will enhance customer contact and heighten the effectiveness of the sales representative.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From high-tech to low-tech industries, the days when a salesperson could carry the company catalogue around in his or her head have disappeared. For instance, salespeople for Hewlett-Packard represent 6000 products in thousands of permutations. According to the authors, more than 500 companies are rushing to market with information technology tools for the 9,000,000 salespeople alone in the US, and perhaps four times as many throughout the industrialized world. These new systems focus on the analysis of sales-related information, the authors argue, rather than on improving the effectiveness of the selling process. Instead, they demonstrate how Siebel Systems, spearheading the emerging generation of sales force automation applications, centres on enlarging the role of the sales rep to sales project co-ordinator. By linking all departments of the company to the customer and utilizing "market encyclopaedia systems" to access product information, the sales rep/co-ordinator creates customer-specific brochures and presentations - and even products - on demand. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR012706909
