“Integration and alignment of the revenue functions – sales, marketing and product – is a top priority for savvy b-to-b leaders,” said Tony Jaros, President and Chief Product Officer of SiriusDecisions. “Modern leaders who understand consumer perceptions and current business dynamics know that building an aligned and customer-obsessed revenue engine is the best path to differentiation and faster and more profitable growth. This year’s Return on Integration Awards winners worked closely with SiriusDecisions to implement best-in-class approaches in their businesses to create strong alignment and outperform their competitors. We look forward to further highlighting the winners’ success at this year’s SiriusDecisions Summit.”
Return on Integration Winners:
Monster in the category of sales enablement for its work studying sales activity and identifying gaps in sales representatives’ ability to achieve quota. This work led to significant changes in the way Monster enables its sales force, as well as a variety of processes that support reps and the company’s investment in sales infrastructure.
Genesys in the category of sales/marketing/product alignment for its comprehensive work in shifting to an account-based demand approach. This includes the implementation of the SiriusDecisions Demand Unit Waterfall™ (DUW) and surrounding processes; a significantly changed relationship between sales, marketing and product leadership; and underlying technology expansion to support the DUW.
Oracle in the category demand creation/lead management for the complete overhaul of its marketing-sourced demand effort, which was done in close collaboration with sales. Through its Conversation-Ready (CORE) initiative, Oracle has been able to dramatically shrink throughput into lead qualification and direct selling resources while significantly increasing results.
