Webinar: The Reinvention of Distributor Sales & Service

Integrating Field Sales, Telephone-Based Sales and Customer Service

Distributors need dedicated account managers to reach out to customers over the phone, not just a customer service department to answer the phone when a customer calls.

This is the second of three webinars on the Reinvention of Distributor Sales and Service. You’ll learn the value of and process for creating a team of professional account managers who work proactively over the phone. In this webinar, you’ll hear the compelling economic case for an integrated sales model, including:

  • How an integrated sales model improves distributor lifecycle performance
  • The typical obstacles preventing a distributor from adopting an integrated sales model
  • Segmenting and grading customers
  • How an integrated sales model improves your market and customer coverage
  • Adjusting your coverage plan based upon customer worth
  • The importance of account and territory planning

This webinar is part of a three-part series, in which we are guiding distributors to build a stronger sales function and align it more tightly with a more focused customer service capability. The result: a better return on their investments in these crucial roles.
