A pile of nice shiny gold barsWe are thinking a lot these days about marketing spend and how it translates into revenue.  Isn’t everybody?  We are looking at it for our internal spend. But, importantly, we are also looking at marketing and sales analytics from the use of Spotfire perspective for our customers and prospects.

A really interesting article on SellinPower (free subscription required) from August 17 talks about six ways to use analytics to boost sales.  The article focuses on using analytics to “see exactly what’s working, what’s not working, and find where there are opportunities to grow sales” using analytic tools.  We say, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”  We couldn’t agree more.  As a matter of fact, karma and timing being what they are – we recently completed a free webinar on the subject of using Spotfire for sales and marketing analytics.  Imagine that.

The link to the webinar recording is here:
