Industry Trends + Uberflip Highlights + Customer Highlights 2019-2020
- Time to Scale: Companies are starting to come out of conversation mode and aggressively increase headcount and budgets
- Speed Wins: Those companies first to market will more often than not capture the most mindshare and maximize their opportunity potential
- Enable Sales: Marketing’s responsibility is about empowering sales to continue the conversation in a seamless and personalized way
- Prime Time ABM: ABM is no longer an experimental strategy, technology is allowing us to be hyper targeted with little extra effort
- Retention and Expansion: Demand and content marketers are being asked to support retention and expansion efforts more than ever before
- Unified Journey: Marketers are prioritizing technology, hiring and processes on building the ultimate customer journey

- Randy opens the floor asking what our customers are currently using for sales enablement? Responses include Uberflip, Guru
- What’s holding you back from using SalesAssist? Learning & development, competency, client certification, etc. Sales assist vs. sales streams
- Manpower Group is going to be running a pilot ABM test and will be defining it as an A/B test for tracking content consumption vs. not
- Personalization at scale True personalization is fantastic but is hard to do at scale - how can we go further than names and logos?
- Being relevant and showing the right content can be more important than personalization; are you providing value every single time?
UES Overview & Success Stories Operational Efficiency:
- Save time, elevate accuracy and enhance reporting via Audience Segmentation, Identifying Tags, Auditing Content and Configuring Automations
- Training/Education: Continued education on the marketing tactics and methodologies that support organizational goals and processes.
- Technical Configuration: Guidance and assistance building a sound content experience foundation and campaign construction.
- Strategic Planning: Support overall marketing strategy to drive pipeline and increase content engagement.
- Case study: Without clear alignment between content and segments, some assets were missing from critical locations, other assets were incorrectly placed, and in general reporting content topics was cumbersome. There was an operational lag. UES helped segment audiences, audit content and assign tags. Then, Smart Filters were configured to drive operational efficiency.
