As the Philippines and the rest of the world continue to fight global public health issues, various companies are making sure that they are fully equipped to handle any challenges that may arise\u00a0\u2014\u00a0which include lengthy lockdowns and other strategies that would devastate the economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there\u2019s little doubt that the exponential pace of technology innovation will continue, creating the opportunity for one of the most exciting periods of positive change and progress in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many companies will need to transform their business systematically\u2014and leaders have learned they need speed and agility to outpace change and succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding B2B, we need to acknowledge that the B2B sales environment has fundamentally shifted. It\u2019s no longer just about getting in front of a decision-maker and making a good first impression; it\u2019s about a buying relationship built on openness and bi-directional value creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at two observations from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebalancing of control between buyers and sellers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B2B buyer is more in control of the sales journey than ever before. Buyers are also savvier about where they get their information. And the sellers? They\u2019re fully aware that they\u2019ll have to largely trash their playbooks and embrace the new rules of winning sales through influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blurring boundaries within industries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market demands a highly interoperable environment where multiple parties contribute to deliver and consume compelling products and services. Now the challenge: Most companies\u2019 systems weren\u2019t designed to empower sellers with helpful insights from customers, enterprises, and ecosystem data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means they don\u2019t have the capabilities needed today. But without them, companies are undoubtedly headed for issues with sales effectiveness, growth, and talent retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s our secret recipe: meeting clients where they are, helping them to accelerate the pace of their transformation, unlocking talent potential, and above all making sure they are adaptable. All values are shared with Oracle<\/a>. This is the key to building a resilient organization ready for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on the future of CRM, it\u2019s critical to understand that marketing and sales are just the edges of an end-to-end process which starts with creating a marketing campaign to closing the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s my IDEA of the future of engineered selling: IDEA stands for Intelligent, Data, Ecosystem, Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intelligence is about filtering the noise to increase productivity of the sellers. This is the realm of automation and AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data is about creating a modern data foundation and taking advantage of it. It requires breaking silos. This treasury has never been monetized enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecosystem enablement. Critical in the B2B world is the interoperability with partners, customers, and capabilities such as partners\u2019 experience, onboarding, and enablement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture. We\u2019ve been doing Technology Vision, a trends report, for 22 years. In 2013, we declared that \u201cEvery business is a digital business,\u201d then we highlighted that every business is a technology business, and in our recent issue that every business is a metaverse business. In this context, architecture matters more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweet spot for Oracle Fusion Marketing and Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oracle Fusion can bridge the divide between the two, helping marketers and sellers focus on what they do best: building relationships and closing deals. This can be a tangible value for them, their companies, and the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By unifying in real-time customer intelligence with data from the ecosystem of third parties but also ERP and HR systems, sellers can get support in generating ideal quotas, manage territories, align sales compensation, and create sales plans. Innovation is native here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of selling is a boundaryless, adaptable, and radically human architecture engineered to harness the power and elasticity of cloud combined with AI and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accenture and Oracle, who have been partners for over 30 years, continue the tradition of bringing unparalleled innovation, industry, and technology acumen to their joint clients. In the current scenario, we can help clients gain a competitive edge by winning sales, retaining customers, and continuing to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
