Sales, Marketing & Service

Customers have more choices, seem to be less loyal and at times are only concerned with price and availability. Just working harder doesn't generate the kind of growth that it may have in the past

Sales, Marketing & Service

Considerations

Achieving and sustaining organic growth requires an organization to regularly reevaluate the sales, marketing and service functions by asking key questions like:

  • What markets should we sell into?
  • What products and services should we offer?
  • What kind of customer experience should we deliver to help us stand out?
  • How do we get more out of our sales organization?
  • How do we leverage technology to help us drive more business?
  • How do marketing and sales work better together?
  • How do we support our customers throughout their relationship with us?
  • How do we improve our ability to innovate around the right things?

Effective sales, marketing and service functions are rooted in a well-defined customer experience and go-to-market strategy that is embraced by an organization’s sales professionals. Baker Tilly helps your organization transform these functions to meet your customers’ service demands.

It takes more than just performing market research to answer the fundamental question of “where to play” and “how to win” as you evaluate new markets.

Creating positive service experiences is the best way to build customer loyalty and create brand evangelists. Baker Tilly helps companies improve the effectiveness of their service organizations by evaluating them across the four dimensions of service effectiveness: service strategy, service enablement, service execution and performance management.

Despite significant investments made in marketing and sales technology tools, many organizations are not achieving the results they expected. While these tools can certainly help an organization succeed, the process of selecting the right tools and the right timing to implement them can be overwhelming.

Baker Tilly’s technology consultants help organizations navigate the complexities by breaking down the technology landscape into basic foundational needs to prioritize and plan for proper execution. A calculated strategy first determines the objectives of your technology program and identifies the strengths you have before filling in the technology gaps to uses these technologies in the right order.

Baker Tilly also helps companies evaluate and assess their call center and service center technology across the four dimensions of service. By leveraging modern call center and service center technologies and implementing business processes integrated around the customer, your organization can achieve alignment across all pre- and post-sales functions to enhance customer loyalty.

CRM platforms provide a centralized management of customer engagements, minimizing the burden of integrating disparate solutions and returning the focus to the customer. Cloud computing-based solutions that provide flexible channels for interaction with customers and incorporate analytical/big data capabilities are critical.

Baker Tilly helps clients successfully implement CRM solutions aligned with their business goals, enabling them to better sense of market changes and customer behavior shifts to operate in a more customer-centric manner.
