Comparing sales force automation of 2015, to sales force automation of the past will be comparing the radio to an HDTV. Salespeople will finally have a tool that will help them sell, collaborate with partners, customers and other employees in their company.

Social data feeds will alter how salespeople use SFA apps: consumerization, enriched collaboration, streamlined data access.Relevant sales-related content will be at salesreps finger tips to use during selling situations, social interactions will become a normal mode of interacting. New entrants to the profession won't know how great they have it.Mobile, Social, Cloud, and Analytics Power - the Future of Sales.

Today's Big Data is next year's average-size data! Customers provide feedback every time they call, email a contact center, tweet their friends, or engage with an organization.95% of this feedback is ignored, yet it contains a wealth of business-critical insight that, if acted upon, can help drive customer retention, satisfaction and growth.Recycling this feedback through a holistic V.o.C. program is something all organizations should embrace.

Ed Thompson & Partha Iyengar –Gartner, VP Distinguished Analysts

If you garner feedback from your customers, let them know what you did with it!

Most employees do not care about the customer's experience. Organizations must change cultures so that employees do the right thing by nature, empowered to take action and innovate.Customer Experience Management rates 3rd with CEOs for business improvement in 2013.

Both CXM and service are the second highest drivers for innovation, for CIOs in 2013. 

Customer Experience Is the Next Competitive Frontier.

Hope we get to meet! Booth # 501
