Most everyone can agree that increased sales productivity is linked to process automation. Not only does automation give salespeople more time to sell, but employees at all levels and across departments are freed up to devote more time to key parts of an organization’s strategy. But successful sales process automation and implementation can only be measured by the degree to which professionals are enabled to exert greater control and influence over an organization’s sales operations.

Sales process automation is key

Typically, sales operations departments—staffed by an array of sales compensation specialists and IT analysts—manage the automated processes that have transformed the way a sales force gets paid. As with administrative resources, IT functions include maintaining and supporting the systems, overseeing the processing of compensation payments and managing system errors.

But difficulties with poorly designed compensation tools quickly lead to sales compensation problems, which inevitably cause IT experts—the people you hired for their knowledge, insight, and strategic thinking—to spend an inordinate amount of time diagnosing and solving system errors and ensuring that the compensation system communicates with other systems.

Oftentimes organizations must pay high fees to license third-party software that will enable infrastructure maintenance and upgrades. In fact, sales departments frequently incur “opportunity” costs, as staffers are busy tackling problems rather than innovating.

Choose Wisely

The above sales process automation challenges can be addressed by sales organizations with effective sales performance management solutions.

An effective sales performance management solution—one that doesn’t eat more time than it frees up—must encompass three main characteristics: it needs to be intuitive, powerful, and flexible.

Sales performance management solutions must be readily understood. Those most successful at driving adoption and enabling users to make informed decisions are designed from the ground up with information displayed in accessible and actionable ways. Employee hierarchy, sales, and performance metrics are just a few examples of the key information that everyone on the sales force needs to be able to easily access.

A sales performance management solution needs to be simple yet powerful enough to allow users to troubleshoot issues and accommodate changes that might occur during schedule planning. Compensation analysts often have to update employee information and bonus targets, or even make adjustments during tight compensation cycles.

Finally, flexibility is paramount to the success of any sales performance management solution because the technology must allow administrators to implement different compensation processes at any given time. Territory management, quota management, and long-term incentive compensation planning are key components of an efficient solution.

The Optymyze solution for sales performance management is built on a unified, no-code platform which makes it easy to meet current and future needs. This way, sales operations teams and sales forces are able to always perform at their highest abilities and quickly adapt to changing strategies.

Human relationships. We crave them, occasionally learn from them, and give our all to making them work. When it comes to sales, the great salespeople are those who are the most deeply human: Able to listen intently, have insight into problems their customer might have, and find or create solutions, even when all the roads seem to lead nowhere. But when administrative duties, such as recording, tracking, and connecting the details about every potential sale in the pipeline threaten to overwhelm salespeople, they—and sales leaders, too—wave their white flags. Enter sales force automation.

Clearly, this is a job for technology. Why? Firstly, because the potential for human input to result in human error is enormous. This is as true for managing customer relationships as it is for measuring sales performance and calculating sales compensation.

Secondly, but equally if not more important: In smoothly functioning, successful sales organizations, administrative functions don’t take top priority. Salespeople, upon whose efforts and successes any organization depends, are freed up from rote, redundant tasks, and can focus on selling. And sales leaders, instead of dedicating precious time to juggling administrative functions, can devote themselves to growth and retention.

Process automation eliminates the huge burden of struggling to manage account information that’s spread across teams in Excel sheets. It brings that information to a single centralized tool, easily accessed by both management and entire sales teams. It allows each person involved in the process to focus on value-added work rather than on trying to keep an eye on all the moving parts that impact performance. And it enables salespeople to do what they do best and even reach new heights of productivity.

With our sight set on that goal, Optymyze provides no-code sales force automation apps that simplify and automate key aspects of the sales processes. Some examples include:

• Account and Contact Management that provides up-to-date account and contact information in one centralized location with an ability to track activities relating to these accounts and contacts.

• Lead Management that provides end-to-end lead management, including the ability to enter and edit information about leads, track activities relating to leads, manage the qualification stage of leads, and qualify/convert leads to contacts, accounts, and opportunities.

• Opportunity Management that provides end-to-end opportunity management, including the ability to enter and edit opportunity information, review products, and prices within price books, and analyze pipeline/win-loss reporting.

• Activity Management that provides the ability to manage activities across the board from a centralized location.

• Reporting and Analysis that provide actionable insights into sales trends and performance, as well as recommendations for sales reps by product or account.

There’s no better way to start off the year right than by alleviating your sales teams from having to perform redundant tasks and letting them focus on the activities they love and that rake in the big bucks. With Optymyze’s no-code sales force automation apps, leaders can manage, measure and improve the selling process, adding value to the company’s progress now and for the foreseeable future. In the end, in order to keep up with this fast-moving industry, one always needs to stay one step ahead.

With change happening at breakneck speed, organizations are continually evolving to serve the increasingly complex nature of business. Adaptability is becoming a must. Sales Operations is one of the key functions pressed to implement change in a faster-moving, sometimes unpredictable environment. This positioning has led Sales Operations to become more visible across the organization and aspire for a place at the decision-makers’ table.

As in the dining room, so in the conference room: Inviting someone new to the table changes the conversation — and puts a lot of pressure on the newcomer to confirm that they belong. If Sales Operations is to gain a permanent seat, it will need to get involved in shaping expectations and assert its evolving value within the company by supporting other key functions and driving change. Ultimately, it will be called upon to prove itself worthy in two essential ways:

1. by showing that it can be a strategic partner, not just a tactical player; and
2. by acting as a top-performing function at all times and for all internal customers.

But stepping into a strategic role is no simple endeavor for anybody. It poses particular challenges such as continuing to complete tactical tasks while contributing to the attainment of strategic corporate goals.

Sales Operations as a strategic role

In most organizations, Sales Operations’ work is tactical: leveraging data to manage day-to-day activities; creating elaborate reports; and performing other recurring tasks that support and compel salespeople to…well…sell.

Though critical to the business, the routine nature of this work has prevented the group from focusing on and reaching its full potential. It’s also led people to wrongly perceive this function as a dumping ground for administrative chores and anything-you-might-need sales support.

The strategic “face” of the Sales Operations function may not show itself as often as the tactical one, but seeing the potential there, and tapping into it, can become the secret ingredient for the success of the sales organization.

Many people in Sales Operations possess finely tuned detail-oriented observation skills that, when combined with an analytical mindset, give them an edge. Their firsthand, hands-on experience filtering through enormous amounts of data to pinpoint what really matters to the company can bring game-changing strength to their insights.

When heard, the voice of Sales Operations can increase the organization’s ability to make decisions quickly, predict outcomes, and analyze buying patterns. In addition, its internal customers and visibility within the company positions this function to lead change, not simply support it.

Immersing themselves in the everyday responsibilities and staying involved in the work of other departments has proved to be fertile ground for people in this role. To begin with, they know everything about the best tools available. Dig deeper and it will become clear that those who walk in Sales Operations’ shoes understand the value of close collaboration and can manage the flawless execution of processes. By leveraging its know-how in analytics, and by enabling it to participate as a proactive player in designing long-term plans and strategies, the entire sales organization can reap the benefits of Sales Operations’ experience and take the function’s contribution to the next level.

Interdependent, but not oppositional

The Sales Operations function of tomorrow can gain more authority in the organization by leveraging its insights to drive sales results. Tactical excellence and the impeccable execution of everyday tasks can lay the foundation for consistently asking the right questions and ensuring forecast success.

In this case, the terms ‘tactical’ and ‘strategic’ aren’t opposites of each other. They’re interdependent; frequently, they overlap. For this exact reason, many people struggle to precisely compartmentalize them. But lift them out of their boxes, and the connections become visible. For instance, observing and reporting, so crucial to making steady tactical moves, are also fundamental to sound strategic thought.

Too often in big businesses, “strategy teams” can design seemingly flawless plans that – once rolled out – fail because the underlying assumptions are incorrect. In these cases, the strategy teams simply neglect to ask the tactical teams if the numbers they base their forecasts upon are right. What Sales Operations potentially offers is both tactical excellence and visionary planning.

Even though most companies are aware of the benefits of a top-performing Sales Operations function, very few succeed in making the most of it. When understood and employed with a long-term vision, it can bring the company closer to meeting major strategic goals.

Here are the key 5 features of a top-performing sales operations function:

1. Alignment with the other key functions in the company. Sales Operations needs to act as a trusted advisor to the Sales function, yielding intelligent insights, not just delivering data reports. Also, Sales Operations needs to be in sync with the Marketing and Product teams, as well as Customer Satisfaction, and constantly ask for feedback from these internal customers.
2. Proper staffing. Sales Operations functions are frequently understaffed for both strategic and tactical work. This seemingly cost-saving approach might lead, in the end, to high expenses for the company, as it jeopardizes the success of essential activities in the sales organization. Needless to say, talent retention also becomes problematic.
3. Fast time-to-value. Top-performing companies need standardized, automated business processes. They need to achieve the best results in the shortest time possible.
4. Continuity/sustainability. Leaders need to stop thinking of Sales Operations as a department that will simply fix functional problems. Best-in-class companies leverage track record/data and streamline sales operations processes to achieve continuous improvements in key metrics.
5. Scalability. Sales Operations needs to be flexible and adapt to requirements related to new markets, data variety, volume, and velocity, providing enterprise-wide collaboration and planning. For example, in the case of mergers and acquisitions.

The key to establishing sales operation’s added value

Today, Sales Operations’ place in the organization is, in many cases, not predefined; its charter is in flux. Defining it may come down to attitude: What kind of player do you want your Sales Operations team to be? Ultimately, the stance that Sales Operations takes – and the endorsement it receives from top management – will determine whether or not it can go beyond reacting to change and implementing tactical tasks.

If you are a Sales Operations leader, here are some questions you need to ask yourself:

• Are you comfortable with your department as an operational center, or do you aim to become a strategic partner to the sales organization?
• How much attention does senior leadership pay to your positioning in the company?
• If it’s not as much as you’d like, what can you do to consolidate their buy-in? How can you increase your contribution to the company’s sales performance?
• Are you confident enough to respond, “not now,” “no,” or “it’s not a priority” when asked to execute on a goal that’s simply not worth your time?
• Can your staff question the effects of changes they are expected to implement, or do they simply comply with functional requirements?
• Do you keep up with industry trends and market predictions (2 – 4 years out) and introduce them into your conversations with other business leaders?

The answers to these questions, and many similar ones, will define your attitude towards strategic thinking and the position of Sales Operations in the company. The right tools will help as well in shaping that attitude that is key to establishing sales operation’s real value.
