Big Data Analytics and the Future of Marketing and Sales

Big data is known to be the largest game-changing opportunity in the global market today since the Internet went mainstream about two decades ago. This statement has gotten much approval from many executives but followed with a question asking how it can be made possible.

A certain eBook Big Data Analytics and the Future of Marketing and Sales makes an attempt to answer the question. These days, organizations face intimidating amount of data, a rise in competitive pressures, customer behaviors that keep changing and organizational complexity. Thanks to new technologies alongside rapidly proliferating channels and platforms, they have created a very complex environment. Simultaneously, the emergence of digital technologies and data has paved way for an unprecedented array of insights into the needs and behaviors of customers.

There are a couple of companies that are using Big Data to create opportunities and its use along with analytics show rates of productivity and profitability of 5-6% higher than their competitors. There is an analysis on over 250 engagements for more than five years which shows that companies who put data as the main contention of sales and marketing decisions so as to improve their MROI (marketing return on investment) by 15-20%. These sums up to $150-$200 billion of additional value depending on global annual marketing spend of approximately $1 trillion.

However, data is just 0s and 1s and companies that use data and succeed well do three things properly:

1.) Use analytics in identifying valuable opportunities

The extraction of data set from both within and outside a company gives it an advantage and would aid in successful discovery. However, relying on the mass analysis of such data could be of disservice and therefore analytics leaders develop what is known as “destination thinking,” which comprises of writing down the business challenges to be solved or questions that need to answered in simple sentences. This requires them to go beyond the regular goals like “increase wallet share” and get all the specifics that are meaningful.

Big data market size and status

This approach goes beyond the usual way of doing things. For instance, most sales leaders would deploy resources depending on the historical or present performance of a particular sales region. Data can be used for specifically unlocking new opportunities but requires that such data has to be looked in a new way. For example, a certain chemical company decided to take a look at the market share within customer industry sections in US counties, specifically as against the current sales within that region as it was previously done. It was discovered from this micro-market analysis that although the company possessed 20% of the overall market, it had about 60% in some other markets but as low as 10% in others which included those of the fastest growing sectors.

2.) Begin with the journey of consumer decision

Consumers today can be said to be channel-surfing because they are comfortable with various tools, devices, and technologies just to get a task done.

A good understanding that the journey of decision is very significant for identifying battlegrounds to either keep existing customers or win new ones over competitors. For example, 35% of B2B pre-purchases are digital which implies that B2B companies would have to invest more in websites that will help them communicate the value of their products, SEO to ensure potential customers find them, and social media to obtain more opportunities for sales. For example, an online retailer will design its offers and discounts according to the predictions of how its valued customer is likely to defect.

Sales and marketing leaders have to need to come up with pictures of their customers so as to create products and messages that would be relevant to them. Research shows that personalization is very effective and will deliver 5-8 times the return on investment on the amount spent on marketing and push sales up to 10 percent or even more. This kind of targeting will more effective and would likely end the issue of spamming.

3.) Let it remain fast and simple

All over the world, data grows by 40 percent every year; this growth rate is daunting for any sales and marketing leader. Companies would have to invest in automated algorithm making, a kind of approach which allows the processing of large amounts of data via a process that is known as “self-learning” to create better and more relevant interactions with consumers. This can include machine learning, predictive statistics, and natural language mining while such systems are able to automatically track keywords and make updates every 15 seconds, depending on changing search terms used, customer behavior and ad costs. This could lead to price changes across several thousands of products depending on the preferences of customers, inventory, predictive analysis, and price comparisons. A certain bank somewhere in Latin America transformed itself from an unknown player into an established institution that ranked 11th in global market capitalization via algorithmic marketing. ATM interactions were captured and next-product-buy algorithms were fed to call centers, which allowed service operators to make use of them for providing suitable offers during the next interaction with their customers.

This level of personal interaction brings to light another critical point about automation, which doesn’t mean that people will go away. Advanced analytics would need to serve front-line from massive analytical complexity and get simple guidelines delivered along with recommended actions. For instance, a certain cargo airline developed a complex model which analyzed the frequent change in the cargo industry’s dynamics and negotiating strategies depending on demand and supply. What was delivered to its sales staff was just a “dashboard” with simple flight capacity guidelines, competitor options as well as corresponding pricing. This result boosted the share of wallet by 20 percent.

This untapped area of data is a very strong application for sales and marketing leaders who are able to drive sales above market growth but can only be done by those that can take advantage of this untapped area.
