SPM/ICM Solution Providers – “What Their Clients are Saying About Them!”
Abstract:
This joint session with OpenSymmetry and NI (formerly, National Instruments) will spotlight results from a research effort that examined how sales performance management (SPM) technology providers perform against customer expectations. Robert Blohm with OpenSymmetry will unpack what these providers offer from a functional standpoint (capabilities & effectiveness) and compare that to what clients experience after they are live. Kyle Johnson from NI will share his experiences deploying and managing one of these leading SPM Solutions. By coupling the research data with a real-world client experience, this discussion will provide participants with a clear understanding of SPM capabilities and how solution providers meet their client’s needs.
Key Take-Aways:
- Comprehensive overview of SPM Solution provider capabilities (out-of-the-box vs. advanced)
- Guide to how well providers meet client needs
- Insight on high-level pricing/budget expectations

Wednesday Session:
Why AI-Powered Conversation Guidance is the New Must-Have Sales Tech
Abstract:
Every sales leader knows that reps forget much of what they learn during onboarding and in training. This means some reps keep making the same mistakes on sales calls. What if you could guide reps with real-time talking points, relevant content and other insights so that you never have to worry if reps are saying the right things ever again? Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, AI-powered sales guidance can warn reps before they make a mistake and tell them how to take corrective action. Now, every rep can sell like your top performers.
Key Take-Aways:
- Best practices for how AI-powered virtual assistants are transforming sales coaching
- Insight on the biggest secrets to dramatically shortening rep ramp time
- 5 ways to prevent botched sales calls in real time
- Strategies for how AI-powered guidance can help even new reps overcome sales objections like seasoned pros

Technology and the human touch: how can businesses deliver the best CX solution that creates long-lasting value for both brand and customer in a changing world?
Abstract:
Join us for a virtual tour of two of South Africa’s most successful CX organisations, Merchants and Webhelp. Specialising in the delivery of exceptional customer experience through enhanced human interaction, augmented by digital solutions and technology, both companies continue to lead the market in driving the solutions for now and the future.
A tour of their sites and solutions in the vibrant city of Cape Town will not only give an insight into state-of-the-art contact centres, it will also provide a rare opportunity to understand how to create long-lasting value by embracing technology without losing the human touch.
COVID-19 resulted in significant challenges and impacts. However, it also created new ways of working and the opportunity to enhance the traditional delivery model. South Africa became a successful case study on how to continue and grow CX Operations through a period which resulted in many regions being closed down. The team will share the insight and success during this period and provide a view into what it means for the future of CX and operational delivery.
Agenda:
- Introductions
- Site tour
- Presentation on CX solutions in a changing world
- Q&A

After Coaching…
- 77% of Executives have an improved working relationship with direct reports
- 71% of Executives have an improved working relationship with immediate supervisors
Coaching is about gaining clarity, creating change and making progress on your goals, outcomes or strategies. This is a chance to bring your most challenging opportunities and blocks to a call, get coaching or learn from your peers’ examples. This will be a live coaching call and you will have opportunities to be coached, ask questions after your peers have been coached or just listen in and learn vicariously. If you’d like to be coached, be sure to bring an actual problem that you really want to change and want help on. Your problem may be someone else’s so do not hesitate to share. We will get to as many as people as possible time permitting.
