Swrve Launches New Mobile Marketing App on Oracle Marketing AppCloud to Deliver Deeper Customer Insights

Swrve, the leading marketing automation platform for mobile, has announced the introduction of a new MarTech engagement application which will be available on the Oracle Marketing AppCloud. The next-gen mobile marketing tool will enable app marketers to create customized experiences with trigger-based push notifications and conversation messages. By offering it through Oracle Marketing AppCloud, Swrve intends to provide mobile app marketers seamless insights on how their in-app marketing and push notifications perform.

The San Francisco-based mobile marketing automation solutions provider is already a Silver level member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). Marketing teams using Oracle Marketing Cloud can now sync information stored along with mobile app usage data, ensuring all campaigns are run seamlessly based on 360-degree view on customer journey, right from the start.

“Like all of us, today’s consumers live on their phones,” said Christopher S. Dean, CEO of Swrve. “As a result, the smartphone has become the perfect platform through which to build relationships with those consumers – and deliver great experiences to them. Oracle Marketing Cloud customers already have access to hefty datasets and email marketing capabilities, so adding advanced mobile functionality enables them to execute truly multi-channel campaigns.

Earlier, Swrve had announced its integration with Salesforce’s Journey Builder to help users execute truly personalized omnichannel campaigns with higher precision and effectiveness. By offering its latest app automation capability on Oracle Marketing AppCloud, Swrve will empower marketing teams with data-driven solutions to simplify marketing resources and deliver more personalized customer-centric experiences across every channel.

Customer experience in 2017 remains the “Golden Egg” for every CMO. CMOs, more than ever, are wary of the pitfalls of not optimizing user experience, especially on mobile. Mobile marketing campaigns are increasingly priming their ROI using CX-centric MarTech stack to attract, engage and retain ideal customers across the web, mobile, social and video advertising platforms.

Avaya already integrates with Salesforce via the Avaya Breeze Connector offering. However, this expanded alliance will offer far greater and tighter integration capabilities for enterprise customers where workflow management and interaction will seamlessly co-exist across the solutions.

Avaya and Salesforce have come together to build the bridges that create a seamless experience — for customers as well as agents. Together we will ensure businesses that the rewards of delivering outstanding customer experiences are theirs for the taking,” declared Laurent Philonenko, SVP of Corporate Strategy & Development, CTO at Avaya.

Avaya’s extended partnership with Salesforce Service Cloud will focus on refining its cloud-based solutions, enabling businesses to gain seamless access to its market with greater contextual awareness and agile service contact centers at all points along the customer journey.

Avaya in Salesforce Service Cloud offers a simplified set-up and configuration process for administrators looking to sync agent skills and business rules. The customer data captured via Avaya voice analytics, such as identity verification, can be surfaced in Service Cloud Einstein so agents are better informed and can be more proactive regarding next steps in their case resolutions.

With the new expansive alliance, B2B companies will be able to manage their transition to web and cloud applications in 2017. The integrated Salesforce and Avaya solutions will enable companies to quickly move their strategies forward with little to no disruption to ongoing operations. As CMOs break the ceiling for Mobile-First marketing budgets, the new integrations will help companies seamlessly move from mobile self-service to assisted service when more personalized help is needed, accessing a live agent who has full knowledge of their historical and current interactions — including questions and information received while using a chatbot. This will allow service centers to address every customer need easily, quickly and completely.

Avaya reported annual revenue of $3702 million for 2016,    earning $958 million in Q4 of the year, up by $76 million compared to the previous quarter revenue.  In a largely erratic season for global martech companies, Avaya’s recovery in the Q4 of 2016 is very encouraging.

“Avaya’s fourth fiscal quarter results reflect the strength of our technology portfolio, with major competitive wins at government agencies and enterprise customers across networking, contact center and private cloud services underpinned by continued transformation of the company to a superior operating model,” said Kevin Kennedy, President and CEO.

“Looking forward, we remain committed to improving our operating performance and capital structure while creating value for our customers”, added Kennedy.

As the global leader in delivering superior communications experiences, Avaya provides the most all-in-one portfolio of software and services for contact center and unified communications, including omnichannel assisted and automated customer experience management solutions.

In recent weeks, many MarTech companies have added and realigned their partnership goals with Salesforce, bringing a sea of opportunities for marketers to connect seamlessly with customers across all platforms.

InsideSales.com Study Reveals End-of-Month Sales Tactics Cost Businesses Millions

InsideSales.com, the leading sales acceleration platform that uses AI-powered predictive analytics, announced the release of a comprehensive study on sales wisdom for 2017. The report, titled “Time-based Closing Strategies: The High Cost of Procrastination, provides enriching insights on the challenges facing conventional sales wisdom.

InsideSales.com released the study at Accelerate’17, the marquee event for sales and marketing professionals, and data scientists. The report revealed that end-of-month selling behaviors common to most business-to-business sales organizations have a negative impact on overall sales win rates and deal sizes. Not only do these last-minute blitzes result in the loss of deals that might have otherwise eventually been won, but the deals that do close do so at lower rates and smaller sizes than those won earlier in the month, resulting in significant losses in revenue.

InsideSales.com gleaned these results from a scientific review of nearly 10 million anonymized sales interactions logged by over 150 enterprise users of the company’s sales pipeline management and forecasting software, HD Forecast™.

“These insights fly in the face of one of the foundational beliefs of business-to-business sales. They nullify the common belief that sales organizations should push to meet goals before month’s end,” said Ken Krogue, InsideSales.com founder, and president.

“The study makes clear that it’s time to completely rethink end-of-month strategy. Without a complete understanding of pipeline management in relation to time-based patterns or strategies, organizations are losing opportunities and throwing millions away each year.”

An examination of the data determined that high pressure pushes to hit calendar-based sales quotas do more harm than good, as they force sales reps to both behave disagreeably and to engage in severe price-cutting — often lopping 47% from the price that would have obtained the previous day.

Key findings from the report also indicate that weekly closing strategies are similarly misguided. Tuesdays close at a rate 65% higher than Fridays — the day of the week with the lowest close rate and, paradoxically, the day many sales reps work hardest to close on.

Fortunately, this is an easy fix for sales teams. The study recommends putting limits on discounting options, offering bonuses for full-price deals and raising prices for future month purchases. Additionally, companies can coach reps and managers to push deals to the next month to maximize revenue and close deals mid-week.

InsideSales.com offers sales professionals a unique sales intelligence platform built on Neuralytics, which is a predictive and prescriptive self-learning engine that drives revenue growth. Sales teams can deliver optimized experience for buyers, offering enriching personalization with breakthrough innovations in predictive sales communications, engagement tracking, forecasting, and rep motivation. Sales teams use the InsideSales platform on desktop as well as playbook format for opportunity scoring, sales communications, email and web analytics, tracking and gamification.

The Provo-based company recently scooped $50 million in Series E funding in January 2017 from nine investment firms led by Polar Capital Management Inc. Founded in 2004, the sales acceleration platform has managed to raise $250.2 million in six funding rounds since 2012. Top speakers at InsideSale’s Accelerate’17 include Tiffani Bova from Salesforce, Ruben Sigala, Hilarie Koplow-McAdams (President- NewRelic), Katie Azuma from infor, Kerry Cunningham (Sr. Research Director at SiriusDecisions), and Dave Barrett of Polaris. The 3-day event concluded on February 16.

Velocify ReportHub, An Intelligent “Fitness Tracker” for Sales Organizations to Achieve Peak Performance

Velocify, the leading cloud-based sales intelligence platform, has introduced a new business performance analytics solution to track and improve the health of sales efforts across the enterprise. Called the ReportHub, the sales intelligence tool provides real-time actionable insights on sales performances across reps, campaigns, and lead sources. ReportHub is now readily available at no additional cost to customers using Velocify LeadManager.

Velocify ReportHub’s dashboard is very similar to a digital fitness tracker. Its function—even more similar! By providing actionable sales performance insights, the latest sales intelligence tool enables managers and administrators in the sales team to evaluate and improve contact strategies, enhance lead sourcing and refine resource allocation.

As businesses grow more customer-centric, the only way companies can survive the competition is by putting sales automation into its processes. Velocify provides powerful sales acceleration capabilities to professionals, enabling them to draw a clear conclusion from easy-to-use data visualizations and sales execution automation.

“Sales processes have become increasingly digitized, generating enormous amounts of relevant performance data,” said Manoj Goyal, COO at Velocify. “ReportHub presents crucial data in an easily digestible way, helping guide data-driven decisions that can have a meaningful impact on sales growth.”

How ReportHub works?

ReportHub breaks down an individual company’s sales analytics into three main categories: lead source performance, contact day/time of call performance, and sales rep/user performance. Each category offers an array of interactive reports, including dashboards for quick analysis, and detailed charts for sales managers to drill down into the data to uncover deeper performance trends across sales reps, lead sources, or contact strategies.

via Velocify

By adding ReportHub, Velocify users can have seamless access to large stores of highly granular and accurate sales activity data. Additionally, ReportHub will also integrate with other existing sales process management capabilities, empowering companies to stay agile and continuously improve performance through iterative optimization.

Velocify currently offers –

  • Velocify Pulse for focused sales dialing and emails, integrated with Salesforce
  • Velocify LeadManager for sales acceleration and growth with automated routine task management
  • Velocify DialIQ, the only click-to-call sales dialer for enhanced sales communication

Sales organizations today need better insight into which reps, lead sources, and sales strategies are performing well, and which ones aren’t. However, sales managers and admins often have to use manual, time-consuming processes to download data and run separate analyses on critical key performance indicators. This painstaking process often inhibits their ability to take quick action.

Adding Velocify’s latest sales intelligence capability removes the dependence on sales coaching opportunities by improving the health of the overall sales pipeline through real-time performance assessments.
