Physical B2B sales channel management is undergoing big transformation. Interaction between the channel partners, for example dealers, and production companies is changing from one directional to bidirectional. This means that for example dealer´s value is no longer only the amount of sales they make for the product they are supposed to sell, but also how much customer insight they can and are willing to offer from the sales field. The change results from digitransformation which enables new methods and tools to communicate, monitor and manage the functions of sales channels.
Tools are then again only half way to victory in these challenges especially when it comes to IT-applications. Even good tool may fail to produce value if the sales channel management processes are not well thought and thoroughly implemented throughout the sales channels.
Themes that are spoken about in the seminar:
- The roles between manufacturer/producer and distributor before, now and in the future (how product integrated IOT/telemetrics and sales and marketing automated solutions often hinder selling of the product)
- Why the role of good distributors/dealers in B2B sales channels will be more important than before
- Digitransformation and perfect CX cannot be established without channel partners
- Why one-directional collaboration model (here are the prices, catalogs, training and online…go and sell) is already past
- How to change one-directional channel collaboration model to two-directional (it´s not only about IT-solutions, but operating philosophies and about understanding markets and customers)
- What is the B2B sales channel “Partner Enablement” of the future and how can it be built (moulding IT-processes, channel and market insight, BI, CX and DX to functioning wholeness)
- How to scale the benefits and profits of digitransformation globally
- Case Studies (What kind of “Partner Enablement” development is currently ongoing in the world)
