For brands that depend on sales reps to build retailer relationships and sell their products to their accounts, two of the biggest challenges you and your reps face are creating brand loyalty and local awareness of your products. With this sales approach, traditionally it’s difficult for the brand to manage providing digital marketing materials to both the sales reps and the retailers. This leads to a lost opportunity for the brand to achieve retailer engagement, brand loyalty and ultimately, local customers.
Using an automated marketing technology platform where both you, sales reps and your retailers can all come together in one place to manage, execute and track digital campaigns is the solution. A recent group study completed by Aberdeen revealed that aligning sales and marketing teams resulted in 32% annual revenue growth.
