LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiriusDecisions Summit Europe, Booth 12 -- Bigtincan (ASX: BTH), the leader in mobile, AI-powered sales enablement, today announced a major new release of Bigtincan Hub, its Sales Enablement Automation Platform, empowering sales, marketing and service teams to work smarter and faster. With new AI-driven features, and automation that supports each phase of the sales and marketing lifecycle, Bigtincan Hub delivers a better customer experience, empowering sales and marketing teams to drive improved business results.
The new release includes an expanded roster of Sales Enablement Automation capabilities that leverage Bigtincan’s market-leading AI and machine learning technologies (SalesAI). Bigtincan Hub’s feature set has been enhanced with more than 50 new features, including adaptive learning and onboarding, smart customer engagement analytics, social learning and collaboration, account-based marketing, and an open, developer-friendly environment called Bigtincan Add-ons that lets third-party developers create extensions and new functionality.
“Bigtincan’s mission is to help its customers to work more efficiently by unifying sales, marketing and service teams, and using automation to guide them to more wins,” said David Keane, CEO and co-founder of Bigtincan. “We designed this new release to support the sales and marketing lifecycle from front to back. Sales Enablement Automation technology makes it easy for sales, marketing, and service teams to make the most of every interaction they have with customers and prospects. By doing so, Bigtincan Hub drives more pipeline impact, business wins, and ROI.”
The value of sales enablement within enterprises continues to grow. According to a recent SiriusDecisions survey of 250 B2B companies, 62 percent of sales enablement functions are centralized, while 74 percent of firms reported annual increases in sales enablement funding – the highest proportion ever seen. Additionally, their number-one priority is deploying and training on new sales technology.
“Technology provides optimal value to a sales organization when it addresses the broad range of capabilities needed to make a seller both more effective and efficient,” said Heather Cole, Service Director, Sales Enablement Strategies, SiriusDecisions. “These capabilities include the needs associated with role-based onboarding, continuous personalized learning, internal communications, collaboration, and content recommendations--often augmented by machine learning. Ultimately, technology can facilitate targeted learning, better customer interactions and more meaningful coaching sessions because there is clarity and transparency on both customer and rep behavior.”
