What is Revenue Intelligence?

Revenue Intelligence collects sales and product usage data across leads, prospects, and current customers with applied analysis to identify trends and the means to increase revenue. It combines the power of customer relationship management (CRM), business intelligence (BI), and pricing optimization software to connect and transform these technologies into a purpose-built stack. The purpose? To support one overarching goal – revenue growth.

Data-driven insights from various teams – including sales, marketing, and support – are gathered and integrated into one source of truth that’s used to hone sales impact. It ensures distribution sales teams have the right insights regarding contacts, accounts, and opportunities to nurture engagements throughout the sales relationship effectively. It allows distributors to capitalize on the data that already resides within their existing systems and put it to work.

For years, distributors have tried to make do with software systems not designed to meet their specific needs. These solutions were challenging to navigate and didn’t deliver on their promise. This struggle resulted in organizations’ inability to achieve a return on investment, poor user adoption, and loads of lost efficiencies.

Before the advent of Revenue Intelligence platforms, data resided in siloes – left untouched or accessed only by a handful of users. Basically, a whole galaxy of information existed in a corporate black hole.

The result? Misses, waste, and risks around uncaptured and outdated data, not to mention instances of conflicting data. Moreover, unintelligent systems often required manual data entry, had limited automation capabilities, and could inadvertently introduce expired or irrelevant content into marketing and sales campaigns. A lack of Revenue Intelligence hampered nearly all operations impacting sales.

Revenue Intelligence helps improve both top-line revenue and bottom-line profit. Leading platforms are easy-to-use and combine data, analytics, and workflows across CRM, BI and pricing optimization tools. This holistic business view fuels improvements, fosters opportunities, and helps blaze a trail to stronger profits.

Aragon Research reports that Revenue Intelligence can vastly improve sales productivity by leveraging progressive digital technologies such as natural language processing and predictive analytics. Buyer behaviors are analyzed to create a better predictive sales playbook. At the same time, efficiencies are achieved as key contacts and decision-makers are consistently updated across accounts and departments to maximize opportunities.

Nationally recognized CRM and small business expert Gene Marks says integrated technologies to support Revenue Intelligence can help organizations weather the storm of inflation by being smart about when and where they are raising prices and also helping to communicate the reasons behind these price increases to customers.
