Channel sales ready

An international company uses BigSpring’s unified channel enablement to get teams sales ready

CHALLENGE

Tata Steel’s channel partners were ill-equipped to defend a 60% price premium, because they were not able to keep current with product updates in a timely manner.

SOLUTION

BigSpring’s bite sized learning is localized and easy for busy sales reps to view in the field. Integration with Salesforce assigns skills based on performance and assigns opportunities based on sales rep proficiency levels.

OUTCOME

Tata Steel can now directly influence sales outcomes through a single platform that delivers skilling and measures proficiency. 2000+ sales reps receive weekly learning on product knowledge and sales skills.

IMPROVE CHANNEL SALES PRODUCTIVITY

Tata Steel is one of the largest steel manufacturers in the world.

Tata Steel’s sales force includes its own team along with 40 distributors and 8,000 dealers/retailers scattered across India, with hundreds of sales reps in remote locations. Tata Steel’s product commands a 60% price premium over competitors but their teams were inadequately equipped with product and value selling skills to defend this premium.

Product Engagement

With learning integrated to backend sales performance systems, Tata Steel can now link learning performance to sales KPIs such as leads created, leads conversion and deals closed
