Prior to founding Count5, Gordon Eilen and I spent our careers helping
Fortune 500 and mid-sized enterprises improve employee performance with the
strategic application of technology. My career began in 1989
arming warehouse employees with wireless computing solutions and prior
to Count5 I was selling multi-million dollar enterprise applications
that drove strategic CRM initiatives.
I’ve been blessed with over 18 years of sales success as a Vice President,
as a Regional Manager and as a road warrior carrying a bag and quota. Regardless of which
hat I wore, I attribute much of this success to my adoption of the "less
is more" and KISS principals to solving customer problems.
When solutions target large problems with simplicity, they have a much greater chance of adoption
and success. Unfortunately, it seems most
technology vendors today have replaced these principals with the
philosophy that "more is more".
Count5 is a software company that was
founded on the belief that there still can be simple solutions to
complex problems.
Not all of your concerns require enterprise applications with complex
value propositions, long implementation cycles and tremendous business
process re-engineering. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and a
place for these systems – and you’ve probably already implemented some
combination of "fill-in-the-blank" Management Systems already. And
while I strongly believe there is a value proposition to each and every
one of these technologies, I also know
that improving sales force alignment and readiness is not one of them.
Mutually Assured Construction: If you have read this far, I am guessing that improving
speed-to-revenue is a priority for you. I’m also confident you are
thrilled that yet another technology
vendor has entered the scene claiming to
solve all of your sales pains. Having spent several years managing a P&L
and a national sales force, I truly understand the value of your time. I assure you that
with Count5, you will reach a go/no-go decision faster
than with any sales technology you have ever evaluated – probably in our
first meeting - and you won’t need a large committee or consulting firm
to help you make that decision.
Count5’s patent-pending sales force alignment solution,
Q OnDemand™,
has an intuitive value proposition that uniquely combines simplicity
with accountability to drive the desired top line results for your
company – and in your first meeting with Count5, you will quickly decide
if our approach and our software solution are right for you and your
organization.
Yesterday's executive opportunity was improving the efficiency of managing customer
relationships. Today's opportunity is
maximizing the speed and effectiveness of your front line.
I look forward to helping you Add Value to your operation, customers, employees and
shareholders.
Align your front line!
Eric G.
