SalesTargetWatch
This service allows North American firms to closely monitor target customers so they can react immediately to new sales opportunities, without having to worry about the unpredictable costs and the high risks involved in setting up a local sales force. Adivent will collect, analyze, and report on developments that may lead to sales opportunities, such as the adoption of new technologies, spending plans, internal balances of power, or failures on the part of the competition.
SalesTargetCoach
These workshops help telecom vendors define a development plan for a specific sales opportunity. Workshops are facilitated by one or more experts with direct sales experience involving the target customer, and are based on the most recent and updated customer intelligence available.
“As we looked to expand our business in Europe, we were faced with the daunting challenge of either establishing an in-house direct sales organization or relying on entrenched distributors that typically focus their resources on re-selling solutions from the largest players in the market,” Reinhold Hesse, president and CEO at XTech -Extrusion Technology, Inc. “Adivent’s expertise and knowledge of the European telecom market is invaluable as we work together to ramp sales in the region. They offer a unique service that instantly removed the risk and uncertainty of entering a market that is very complex, geographically and culturally diverse, and based on a high degree of trust and relationships.”
