By Cate Gutowski, Vice President, GE Commercial Sales & digitalTHREAD In my role at GE, I lead our Sales function and drive the digital transformation of our Sales force. As I work inside the company with a variety of business units, and I spend time with other firms outside of GE to learn about new best practices, one of the opportunities that I see is the untapped value that affects many organizations: creating alignment between Sales and Marketing. There’s an and between those two words for a reason. Too often, it feels like it can be Sales vs. Marketing, but the truth is….neither can succeed without the other. Photo by rawpixel.com on Unsplash It’s Sales and Marketing, not Sales vs. Marketing. 2 For GE, this alignment is especially important, because we are undergoing the transformation from an Industrial company to a Digital Industrial one. We recognize that in order to sell digital, we have to be digital. To achieve this goal, we all have to work together and put the customer first in everything that we do. While we’ve made great progress in this endeavor, there is always room for improvement. I’ll share some of what I’ve learned on our journey thus far: ? Let marketing be our guide.

The aM rket for Real Estate Presales: A Theoretical Approach Abstract Presale agreements have become a pervasive worldwide practice for residential sales, especially in many Asian markets. Although there is a burgeoning empirical literature on presales agreements, only a few papers actually address their theoretical foundations. We create a set of interrelated theoretical models for explaining how and why developers and buyers engage in presale contracts for non-completed residential dwellings. Given heterogeneous consumer beliefs about future market prices, developers and buyers enter into presale agreements to mitigate, two intertwined, fundamental risks: those of real estate market valuation and default. Our analyses are consistent with prior empirical findings and provide additional theoretical insights for understanding the market for presales.

  • 8 Challenges of Sales and Marketing Alignment Introduction
    Guide: 8 Challenges of Sales and Marketing Alignment Introduction Sales and marketing teams have an interesting relationship. In today’s selling environment, where custom- ers expect a personalized interaction every time, sales simply cannot exist without marketing. According to Forrester research, 78% of executive buyers claim that salespeople do not have relevant examples or case studies to share with them. Clearly, cold calls and impersonal emails aren’t cutting it anymore, and sales must rely on the content produced by marketing to make sales conversations more valuable for prospects. And it goes without saying that marketing wouldn’t have much of a job to do without sales; marketing col- lateral would be lost and lonely without anyone to share it with. While these symbiotic teams are very closely entwined, it doesn’t mean that their relationship is flawless. In fact, because of their closeness, these two can have some difficulty seeing eye to eye. Especially when it comes to content creation and dispersion, there are a number of challenges that arise when trying to align sales and marketing. But there are ways to combat these challenges that will lead to even better sales and marketing alignment, allowing these two teams to function as one synergistic entity. Below are eight of the most common pain points that marketing and sales teams often report as a result of misaligned sales and marketing processes and priorities, and surefire ways to bring the two teams back together. 2 Marketing Challenges Many of marketing’s challenges have to do with helping sales function flawlessly. But the main function of mar- keting is not just to make the sales team’s job easier; marketing has its own responsibilities and goals that are independent of sales support.

  • Rewarding Loyal Customers to Increase Mobile Payments Adoption
    R Payment Strategies E Rewarding Loyal Customers to Increase P O Mobile Payments Adoption R April 2017 By Elisa Tavilla T 1. Introduction This report examines whether mobile loyalty rewards can impact consumer mobile payment adoption. It looks at how retailers in different segments, including coffee chains and quick service restaurants (QSRs), pharmacies, department stores, and hotels, are leveraging mobile loyalty features to enhance the retail experience for consumers and increase mobile payment usage. The analysis is based on interviews with 12 businesses representing retailers, financial institutions, and loyalty marketing solution providers, as well as secondary industry research. While many U.S. consumers are shopping with their mobile phones1, few make mobile payments. Deloitte’s “2016 Holiday Survey” found that only one in four mobile phone users make mobile payments using a retailer app, and even fewer (13 percent) use mobile wallets for in-store payments.2 However, according to Points’ “State of Mobile Wallet Loyalty and Engagement in 2016” study, 94 percent of consumers would use mobile wallets more frequently if they could earn and redeem loyalty rewards.3 Depending on their personal lifestyles and preferences, consumers participate in a variety of loyalty programs offered by coffee shops, supermarkets, drug stores, hotels, airlines, and other retailers. One study suggests that 72 percent of consumers participate in between one and five loyalty programs.4 With multiple memberships, it can be difficult for customers to keep track of the various rewards points, remember to bring membership cards and coupons to the stores, or even recall that they are members of a particular loyalty program.

  • Dynamic Pricing: Building an Advantage in B2B Sales
    Dynamic Pricing: Building an Advantage in B2B Sales Pricing leaders use volatility to their advantage, capturing opportunities in market fluctuations. By Ron Kermisch, David Burns and Chuck Davenport Ron Kermisch and David Burns are partners with Bain & Company’s Customer Strategy & Marketing practice. Ron is a leader of Bain’s pricing work, and David is an expert in building pricing capabilities. Chuck Davenport is an expert vice principal specializing in pricing. They are based, respectively, in Boston, Chicago and Atlanta. The authors would like to thank Nate Hamilton, a principal in Boston; Monica Oliver, a manager in Boston; and Paulina Celedon, a consultant in Atlanta, for their contributions to this work. Copyright © 2019 Bain & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. Dynamic Pricing: Building an Advantage in B2B Sales At a Glance Nimble pricing behavior from Amazon and other online sellers has raised the imperative for everyone else to develop dynamic pricing capabilities. But dynamic pricing is more than just a defensive action. Pricing leaders use volatility to their advantage, capturing opportunities in market fluctuations and forcing competitors to chase their pricing moves. Building better pricing capabilities is about more than improving processes, technology and communication. Pricing leadership requires improving your understanding of customer needs, competitors’ behavior and market economics. Dynamic pricing is not a new strategy. For decades, companies in travel and transportation have system- atically set and modified prices based on shifting market and customer factors. Anyone who buys plane tickets should be familiar with this type of dynamic pricing, but what about other industries? Does dynamic pricing have a role? Increasingly, the answer is yes.
