The value of data in the sales process

16/04/2024

Customer and Product Data: the most valuable source of insights

At the beating heart of every company lies a precious treasure: information.

Customers, through their digital footprints, weave a unique tapestry — each click, each preference, each piece of feedback is a thread that helps form a portrait of who they are and what they want. Customer profiling, built on years of trust-based relationships, is the key that unlocks hidden doors. It guides us through their unspoken desires, helps us anticipate their needs, and enables us to craft a truly tailored service.

Products represent another strategic asset: the information surrounding them is our instruction manual for creating extraordinary experiences. Knowing every detail, every feature, every distinctive trait allows us to craft targeted proposals for each customer and every market sector.

Managing data within digital sales solutions

Here’s the challenge when it comes to digital sales solutions: bringing together customer data and product data to provide valuable insights for decision-makers across the organisation.

When we sit down with our clients, one of the most common questions we hear is:”How can we build more targeted promotional offers?

We usually respond with a few questions of our own:

  • Do you have a clear view of how your customers are profiled?
  • Are they segmented into clusters within your systems?
  • Do you know all the key information about the products you offer?
  • Is there a single place where this data is stored and accessible to all teams?
  • And how do you maintain and manage these valuable digital assets over time?

Today, we can rely on omnichannel sales solutions that allow us to truly take care of data — to store it, enrich it, and share it thoughtfully and responsibly. Whether it relates to product master data or customer profiling, these solutions help us handle information with the attention and precision it deserves.

This combination of customer and product data enables us to build targeted promotions tailored to that specific customer in that specific sector, personalising the offer accordingly.

When the customer feels truly understood — when they sense we know their needs, even the hidden ones, and see that our products have been designed specifically for them — we open the door to loyalty, satisfaction, and growth.
