BALTIMORE, June 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Earnest & Associates (E&A) unveiled its cloud-based sales collaboration solution for wholesale/distributors at the Wholesalers Association of the North East (WANE) Executive Leadership Conference at the Lowes Annapolis Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland on June 17-19, 2015.
Understanding that wholesale/distributors have unique industry requirements, E&A has bundled three essential features in its solution:
- Business Intelligence (BI) – wholesale/distributors can profitably leverage the data in their enterprise software systems using cloud-based BI tools. With the benefit of BI queries that sort customers into 'Core', 'Opportunistic', 'Marginal' and 'Service Drain' categories, the sales team gains the information, tools and resources to take action and boost profits in the least time possible.
- Sales Team Collaboration – salespeople can share and access their BI reports including customer stratification analyses across the desktop, Web and devices - all in a trusted, managed environment that facilitates greater teamwork, sales growth and profitability.
- Professional Services – opens up collaboration between the sales team and E&A's third-party resources in the most cost-effective manner possible. Even small distributors can now benefit from interfacing with sales experts who have proven track records managing multi-billion dollar wholesale/distribution operations – at a fraction of the cost it might have been only a few years ago.
"E&A customers that have leveraged the power of our cloud-based sales collaboration solutions are reporting improved efficiencies, sales growth and gross margins," said Tim Earnest, president of E&A. "WANE attendees seemed to appreciate how our solution can help them grow more profitably and increase shareholder value."
