SBI TV - Sales and Marketing Video Podcast Episode Summary:

The SBI Sales and Marketing video podcast is a weekly dive into sales and marketing strategies featuring advice from your peers, the top CEOs, CMOs and sales leaders in their industries, about how they hit their sales quota year after year. In this video, we explore how to ramp your revenue growth strategy by using market research to seize opportunities as they appear.

This episode, Greg Alexander, CEO of SBI, is joined by Brandon Tolany, the chief sales officer & CMO at Freescale Semiconductor, an industry-leading company that pulls in just under $5 billion in sales a year and employs over 17,000 people globally. Together, they discuss how to plan and develop the kind of effective revenue growth strategy that allows Freescale Semiconductor to hit its numbers year after year, so you can do the same.

We start by looking at market segmentation, the first pillar of market research. We talk about size vs. growth potential and relative market per share. Next, we discuss the second activity of market research, account segmentation, from ideal customer profiles and scoring accounts to determining revenue potential across segments and allocating resources.

We end by discussing the last activity of market research: segmenting the decision makers within an account. We look at the big questions: Who do you have to convince to keep your company headed towards a healthy revenue growth and how does their influence ripple through one’s growth strategy?
