Imagine a call center process that gives reps not just customer names and addresses, but their complete policy history, balances and transactions, an analysis of prior issues, marketing touches, and every email they’ve ever sent you.
Imagine a retail environment that can process one million transactions per hour and still lets you make real-time inventory adjustments to maximize revenue potential and avoid “out-of-stock” conditions.
Imagine a sales plan that takes into account input on revenue objectives, markets, customers, channels, that reps can access on a BlackBerry® and that you can change on the fly without losing a step.
