A Business Collaboration Tool for Sales & Marketing Professionals
The Business Collaboration Network (BCN) is the only tool sales and marketing professionals need to drive revenue efficiently.
DRE’s BCN is a powerful tool that enables sales and marketing teams to collaborate with customers, prospects and partners in a secure, personalized work space. Teams can interact and collaborate in a user-intuitive Web 2.0 space, regardless of geographic location or time zones. The BCN encourages collaboration with ALL decision-makers in one work space and facilitates information and file sharing, as well as buyer interaction. With DRE’s BCN, email conversations, to dos, and whiteboard discussions are documented automatically.
Easier Collaboration
Connect people with knowledge
The BCN provides a platform that allows professionals to interact with each other in secure, personalized work spaces, allowing them to collaborate on a continuous basis. It is easy to invite the appropriate people to a private space so questions can be asked and answered. In addition, best practices and other valuable insight can be shared.
With such tools as discussion forums, calendars, whiteboards, file libraries, and to do lists, professionals are equipped with the essential tools to reduce the cost of sale and collaborate easily with clients, prospects, partners, and other colleagues.
Increased Visibility
Bring management closer to the source
Management and key players need the ability to understand what is going on with relationships between the company and its prospects and clients. Most management members may not care to know every question that is being asked, or every document that is being requested, and they may not want to read all the meeting notes. However, having the ability to get closer to the original source of information when desired can be very beneficial as the company makes decisions on sales strategies, forecasting, pricing strategies, and even the creation of new products.
DRE’s BCN is a place where data can be captured and categorized as it is created. Management and other invited members have access to the data without creating additional data entry for the sales professional. All the necessary documents, discussions and action items are uniquely stored and organized in each work space.
Greater Efficiency
Reduce the cost of sale.
With partners, prospects, customers, and colleagues in your space, you can reduce the conference calls, meetings, and long-distance travel using BCN as your collaboration tool. Debrief the team at the same time and reduce repetitive meetings, emails and conversations. This efficiency aids in shortening the sales cycle, reducing the cost of a sale and improving your overall bottom line.
Better Customer Interaction
Leverage existing customers more effectively.
Companies need a more cost effective way for customers and prospects to interact. Getting clients and prospects together at an annual user conference, seminar or other marketing events is beneficial but it does not provide an easy means for continuous interaction and collaboration. The BCN creates an environment where clients can interact with the vendor and other clients throughout the day, week, or year without attending an event. This ongoing interaction provides valuable insight to a sales team and increases customer loyalty. It also encourages ongoing communication and interaction with existing customers.
