Exactly 4 years ago, we were emerging from the 1st wave of COVID. I recall being part of a webinar with the Indian School of Business Hyderabad on #Sales #Incentives. In that session, I highlighted key insights on the future direction of organizations in the coming decade: - Bigger push in shifting towards system-dependent processes over person-dependent ones, leading to a significant surge in IT investments. - A heightened focus on enhancing employee productivity, prompting the widespread adoption of performance management systems by mid-size and large companies. - Emphasizing the automation of sales processes post the 2020 COVID-induced slowdown, aimed at incentivizing sales teams and driving organizational sales. I emphasized the critical role of system of records like #CRM, #DMS, #LMS, in addition to sales #performance management tools such as #incentive automation and #skill enhancement tools. But my recent discussions with #CTOs and #CSOs in India reveal that many companies are still grappling with managing system of records, highlighting an area that demands immediate attention and transformation.

### Do You Want to Improve or Redesign? The decision to improve or redesign a process is critical in driving sustainable growth and achieving organizational objectives. Here's how to determine when to improve or redesign and the factors to consider: ## Improvement vs. Redesign: Key Considerations # When to Use Incremental Improvement Stable Process: The process is functional but requires optimization to meet Critical Customer Requirements (CCRs) or Critical to Process (CTPs). Low Entitlement Level: Incremental changes can yield measurable results without significant overhaul. Efficiency Gains: Small process adjustments improve efficiency, reduce waste, or enhance quality. # When to Opt for Redesign (Creation Process) 1. Process Absence: No formalized process exists for the given function or goal. 2. New Product/Service: Introduction of a new offering requires a completely new process design. 3. Process Fragmentation: Multiple, inconsistent versions of the process are in use, leading to inefficiencies. 4. Entitlement Reached: Incremental changes are insufficient to achieve desired outcomes, as the process is at its performance limits. 5. Process Failure: The process consistently fails to meet CCRs or CTPs, requiring a fundamental redesign. 6. IT Implementation: Technology-driven transformations necessitate process re-engineering to align with new capabilities. # Steps to Define and Transition Analyze Opportunities Identify whether the current process can achieve the set goals. Assess if the process is operating at its maximum potential or "entitlement." Pinpoint whether existing challenges stem from fundamental flaws or inefficiencies. # Define Opportunities Review the charter and scope outlined for the improvement initiative. Build a robust project plan based on the analysis and findings. Determine whether to enhance the process or transition to creation for a redesign. # Guiding Questions to Decide Does the process meet CCRs or CTPs consistently? Are there signs of diminishing returns despite continuous improvements? Are multiple process versions causing inefficiencies or inconsistencies? Will technological changes fundamentally alter the process flow? By systematically analyzing opportunities and defining objectives, teams can make informed decisions about whether to pursue incremental improvements or transition to redesign. Both approaches, when aligned with business goals, foster continuous improvement and sustainable success. *If you want to know more contact* Sambhaji Satpute, Director & Business Coach.

Profitability is a key concern for MedTech today. One way management chooses to increase profitability is by driving efficiencies of the sales team by implementing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Unlike in Pharma, adoption of CRM in MedTech has always been a challenge. The following are key Change Management considerations MedTech companies can use as they roll-out CRM solutions: - Design: Has the system been designed for the rep or for management’s reporting needs ? - Phasing: Is the change being rolled out in a structured fashion or rushed to meet management's timeline ? - Training: Is it adequate ? - Listening: Is there empathy and understanding of sales rep during the change process ? - Incentive: Are the sales reps sufficiently motivated to make the change ? - Adoption: Are all other parts of the organization also using the system? With multiple implementation experiences of CRM in MedTech in Asia and Europe, Blue Box Advancements can be your partner in this change management. www.bluebox-adv.com

Service Excellence differentiates the Ordinary from the extraordinary. Today the main vector in all Bpos is Customer Satisfaction & Quality scores but many a times, we fail to achieve the same . The result - unhappy clients . In the long run it hurts the planned buisness expansion of the Organization. So the main question here is , where did it go wrong ?? The Employees got their salary month on month .All the managers were experienced . And they all had Six Sigma certifications or atleast aware of DMAIC & Lean tools to run the buisness. Daily , Weekly , Monthly reviews highlighted buisness needs , but still there was failure . First of all there is no magic formula or quick pill for Super Performance . BPO is people intensive buisness . You have a high Performing core base in the operations team which will support the future recruits . Attrition of the core team is not a healthy sign . For retaining , high performing assets , development activities are needed . RNR programmes and IJPs , PLIs need to be there . Early birds always catches the worms. Vision of the organization should be instilled within employees from the joining date .TNA needs to reflect Buisness needs and values .There will be poor or average performers .They cannot be just replaced as productivity is linked to head count.Those with skill issues can be always retrained . BQ Management should be robust & effective . Audit feedback should reach the employees regularly in cyclic pattern to enable them improve sincerely . The managers should be hold accountable for Team Performance . In many places , replying emails , client communication & creating dashboards is observed as their only Job which is incorrect. Managers should be measured for Team Engagement. Do they interact with their Teams on regular cyclic intervals .Do they remember the Top & bottom performers of their team by name . We deal extensively with freshers who are human beings not robots . Too much force exerted will break them towards attrition. You control attrition, you create buisness & process excellence simultaneously It is very simple , employees build the Brand . Have we invested in the right set of people to manage them . People should be motivated to perform rather than forced to deliver .Every single employee is important. You win their hearts , they will deliver the desired results !!!

🤷♂️ The IT and SaaS sectors in India continue to be dynamic, and brimming with opportunities. However, they also bring unique challenges, especially for Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) and Business Development Representatives (BDRs). In recent months, I’ve observed a few key trends shaping the job market: 📉 Market Saturation: With an increasing number of players entering the IT and SaaS space, SDRs and BDRs face intense competition to differentiate their solutions in a crowded market. 💻 Tech-Savvy Prospects: Prospects today are more informed than ever. This means traditional pitches often fall flat, requiring sales teams to bring real value and relevance in every interaction. 📊 Pressure on Metrics: With companies focusing on ROI, SDRs and BDRs often work under heightened scrutiny to meet aggressive KPIs like outreach volumes, lead quality, and pipeline contribution. 🌐 Evolving Buyer Journeys: Decision-makers now rely on a mix of digital research and peer recommendations before engaging with a sales rep. This shift demands SDRs and BDRs to adapt their strategies to connect earlier in the buyer journey. 🤝 Relationship Building in a Virtual World: While remote work offers flexibility, it also challenges reps to build trust and rapport over digital channels—a skill that’s critical but not easily mastered. So, what’s the way forward? 🔑 Upskilling: Whether it's mastering sales automation tools, understanding data analytics, or honing communication skills, continuous learning is non-negotiable. 📚 Personalization at Scale: Leveraging CRM insights to craft personalized outreach can be a game-changer in grabbing attention. 💬 Value-First Approach: Focusing on solving customer problems rather than just selling products will set SDRs and BDRs apart in a competitive landscape. Despite the challenges, the IT and SaaS industries remain exciting spaces for growth and innovation. By staying adaptable and customer-centric, SDRs and BDRs can thrive even in this ever-evolving market. What are your thoughts on the current challenges faced by SDRs and BDRs? How is your team navigating these changes? Let’s share ideas and grow together! #ITJobs #SaaSIndustry #SalesDevelopment #BDR #SDR #JobMarket
