What is a Commercial Strategy?



A commercial strategy is a way businesses can approach the disciplines of sales, marketing, and pricing objectives to improve the ability to execute campaigns. By removing the silos between each discipline, decisions are can be made using the same set of data and criteria.Sales needs to be working with marketing to drive those marketing qualified leads and then from there, take those marketing qualified leads and convert them at the highest rate as possible into sales qualified leads and then customers.



What happens when you do not have a Commercial Strategy?



You spend more time in meetings talking about data than executing your company campaigns and being strategic in a dynamic market. Don’t waste valuable hours staring at data, ask Impact Questions to get the answer from the data. Now spend those days saved by focusing on deploying better, more effective sales and marketing strategies than in meetings.
