Digiday is a leader in the media industry and has been rapidly growing year over year by 70%. Their unique sales cycle and expanding sales team posed many new challenges to them. Monitoring easily their sales pipeline in SalesForce on sales coverage, quality of deals, and sales forecasting was an ongoing challenge. One of the major issues Digiday was facing that in native SalesForce, the opportunity to pick any time dimension for forecasting was not easily accessible, so SalesChoice augmented the functionality that Digiday needed to meet their unique media industry needs.

The Value of Analytics use soars among Top Sales Teams.
Where there’s analytics use, there’s likely a winning sales organization. High-performing sales teams are 3.5x more likely than underperforming teams to use sales analytics. Across teams at all levels, we’ll see a 58% increase in sales analytics use from 2015 to 2016. Smart selling, fueled by technologies like predictive analytics, starts piquing sales teams’ interest and is expected to jump 77% among high performers in the next 12–18 months (SalesForce Report, 2015).
Sales cycles are long. Even after spending hours preparing the best proposals, you’re no closer to your quota. Don’t you wish you were spending less time researching your sales accounts and more time selling to them?
What if you could also avoid the worst deals — the ones that were doomed from the get-go? The amount of data sales organizations have to deal with has grown by 100x in recent years. Data is drowning sales professionals’ productivity. How do you get above the dark clouds?
In today’s attention deficit deprived world, sales forecasting accuracy has increasingly become more complex and consequently higher error rates. According to Sirius Decisions, companies estimate on average that they spend 2.5 hours per week and managers 1.5 hours on forecasting. Yet, nearly 80% of sales organizations don’t forecast within 10% of where they eventually land. They often don’t anticipate missing targets or realize too late in the quarter to take action.
