The right mix of customer data and analytics can help companies attract and retain high-value customers and grow revenues profitably.
he global economy remains turbulent, as does the associated challenge corporate decisionmakers face in determining cost-effective ways to retain their best customers, attract new
ones, and generate profitable top-line growth. Buyers have changedtheyre social, mobile, Meanwhile, as consumers become increasingly demanding, companies are finding it tougher to satisfy customers and distinguish themselves from their competitors. Thanks to the evolution of data capture and marketing analytics tools, companies can now analyze and act on a wide range of customer insights (e.g., behavioral, attitudinal, transactional, and operational) across multiple touchpoints. By obtaining a more holistic view of the customer experience, decision-makers can glean critical information to help them adapt and develop relevant, tailored sales, marketing, and customer support strategies that the competition cant. In addition, executives can use revenue generation and sales operation tools to help them take actionable steps to develop profitable business plans and long-term, sustainable shareholder value. In this 1to1 Executive Dialogue, industry thought leaders Don Peppers, Founding Partner of Peppers & Rogers Group, and Judi Hand, President and General Manager of Direct Alliance Corporation and Chief Sales Officer at TeleTech, provide insights and discuss the opportunities available to executives through the use of these next-generation sales and marketing analytics tools.

How would you characterize the key profit growth challenges that business leaders are facing in the current state of the market, given how buyers have changed?
Judi Hand: Buyers have changed because they are now social, mobile, and digital. Ninety-six percent of people are on some kind of social network. And, 40 percent of buyers are not only comparing prices with their mobile phones but theyre purchasing with these devices. Couple that with the fact that everything is completely transparent nowadays. If a customer has Featuring company, had a bad experience with a Don Peppersthats going to be understood within minutes.

At a Glance
Company: Straight Forward Industry: Contact center and consulting services Founded: 2009 Headquarters: Sauk City, WI President: Rod Schwegel
ith more than 30 years of contact center experience between them, Rod Schwegel and Lori Recker know a thing or two about inbound and outbound contact cen-
ter services. So when Schwegel and Recker decided to leave a big contact center services outsourcing firm to form their own company in October 2009, they knew theyd need a contact center platform that would be scalable enough to support the companys anticipated growth, while providing the functionality needed to meet the requirements of its clients. The company that Schwegel and Recker createdStraight Forwardprovides its clients, predominantly Internet, cable, and phone companies, with a blend of in- and outbound contact center services. Straight Forward interacts directly with its clients customers, providing information and advice on a broad range of topics including recommendations on matching video and entertainment plans with customer interests. The services also include detailed custom reports about customer intent during contact center interactions, products purchased, value of products purchased, etc. Straight Forward has grown rapidly from three employees at start-up to more than 280 in just over two years. Although Schwegel and Recker had worked with several of their current clients in the past,

the pair still needed to convince these companies that Straight Forward had the resources and scalability to meet the needs of enterprise companies with large customer bases. Relying on a small company to provide support services can be a gamble, especially when its a startup with no real track record for reliability or performance. As a start-up, Straight Forward was working diligently to prove that it could meet all its clients requirements, but the original contact center platform it had been using just wasnt making the grade. When Straight Forward launched, the company selected a cloud-based contact center platform that met its basic requirements. It was a low-cost, turnkey solution that included reasonable user fees and a waiver on training costs. However, as Straight Forward continued to add clients and grow, it discovered that the contact center platform wasnt meeting its customers data reporting needs.
