SAVO Poll Reveals While Product Launches on the Rise, Companies Missing Full Revenue Potential
(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 07/24/12 -- According to , while more than half of the companies polled (56 percent) have increased the amount of product or service announcements in the past six months, 63 percent have admitted that they only achieved 50 percent or less of the anticipated revenue associated with their launches. The results are from a live poll of 135 participants conducted during one of SAVO's educational webinars, ""
"While it's encouraging to see innovation on the uptick, too many companies are missing revenue opportunities by shortchanging a crucial player -- the sales person -- in their launch plans," said Dan Schleifer, senior director of marketing at SAVO. "To gain the largest return, companies not only need to ensure that new products or services fit seamlessly into their overall sales process, they also need a solution to capture their selling success to educate the rest of the sales force or make adjustments with their sales process or marketing assets."
During the webinar, participants were asked which oversight they were most guilty of with regards to . The results were as follows:
40 percent said poor ;
24 percent reported weak ;
21 percent indicated deficient market research; and
15 percent said a lack of demand generation efforts.
In addition, in another SAVO webinar of 73 attendees, 85 percent of those polled said they do not have a way to guarantee that new messaging is being used in the field.
"Even though companies put a lot of effort into making their products different, it ultimately comes down to the story sales people tell that convinces customers they need to change and do something different," said to Tim Riesterer, chief strategy and marketing officer, Corporate Visions. "Instead of training salespeople on product features, companies need to help salespeople have better customer-focused conversations and make more effective presentations."
