SBI Sales and Marketing Video Podcast Episode Summary:

The SBI Sales and Marketing video podcast is a weekly dive into sales and marketing strategies featuring advice from some of the top CEOs, CMOs and sales leaders in their industries about how they hit their sales quota year after year. In this video, we use the SBI Revenue Growth Methodology (http://bit.ly/6stepgrowth) to discuss sales and operations planning and how to build a defined sales ops strategy.

Dave talks about the three objectives he sets for his sales ops team and his rock-solid sales operations processes. He also discusses his company’s approach to data architecture, sales analytics, dashboards and technology tools. He then shares insights on how his sales ops team interfaces with the rest of FIS’s 40,000+ employees.

Our conversation, together with the SBI Revenue Growth Methodology’s insights on sales strategy, has everything you need to start opening a sales pipeline with a smart, balanced sales operations strategy.
