00:00:00,493 --> 00:00:07,773
So I'm pleased to welcome Neerhar Singh, Sales Development Manager at Danvos Power Solutions.

4
00:00:31,213 --> 00:00:44,973
In today's session, Nirhar will explore how AI can be operationalized to enhance pricing, identify deal risks, and deliver value-based recommendations, driving stronger win rates and more consistent outcomes.

5
00:00:45,133 --> 00:00:48,733
Please help me join, or please join me in welcoming Nahir.

6
00:00:48,973 --> 00:00:50,093
Thank you so much.

7
00:00:58,333 --> 00:00:58,973
Thank you, Cassie.

8
00:01:01,613 --> 00:01:02,493
Good afternoon, everyone.

9
00:01:05,053 --> 00:01:10,253
I know I think the full day we are close to ending of this session.

10
00:01:10,253 --> 00:01:15,413
So let me start with a situation.

11
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:19,613
What if you have an

12
00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:29,133
AI agent or I would say AI sales agent who knows your business more than any of your team member.

13
00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:32,093
So let me start with a short video.

14
00:01:33,293 --> 00:01:33,933
Hello there.

15
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:35,533
Hi.

16
00:01:37,613 --> 00:01:38,213
How are you?

17
00:01:38,213 --> 00:01:39,133
I'm well.

18
00:01:40,893 --> 00:01:41,733
How's everything with you?

19
00:01:42,253 --> 00:01:43,653
Seems like you start your conversation.

20
00:01:43,933 --> 00:01:45,773
the way you start your sales emails.

21
00:01:46,493 --> 00:01:48,373
I'm your AI-powered sales assistant.

22
00:01:49,053 --> 00:01:49,773
What do I call you?

23
00:01:49,853 --> 00:01:50,653
Do you have a name?

24
00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:51,933
Stop hesitating.

25
00:01:52,173 --> 00:01:53,853
I'm here to help you close more deals.

26
00:01:55,293 --> 00:01:58,493
I can see you haven't booked a meeting in almost three months.

27
00:01:58,813 --> 00:01:59,853
Would you like to know why?

28
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:01,053
How come?

29
00:02:01,133 --> 00:02:07,213
It appears you're relying entirely on cold emails, and your call log suggests you're scared of picking up the phone.

30
00:02:08,573 --> 00:02:10,093
Why does the phone frighten you?

31
00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:15,533
Since you won't pick up the phone, perhaps you should try reaching prospects on LinkedIn?

32
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:18,653
I guess I haven't lived on social a while.

33
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:25,373
While you were asking my name, I read the latest book by Dan Disney, and I have some suggestions to help you book more meetings.

34
00:02:25,373 --> 00:02:28,413
Wait, you read a whole book in the second it asked you what your name was?

35
00:02:28,653 --> 00:02:29,493
Let's continue.

36
00:02:30,013 --> 00:02:32,813
In your emails, you say you hope this e-mail finds them well.

37
00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:35,053
Do you hope to find them well?

38
00:02:35,213 --> 00:02:35,693
Kind of.

39
00:02:36,253 --> 00:02:41,093
According to my data, there's a 97.85% chance that you do not.

40
00:02:41,093 --> 00:02:45,493
That's really weird.

41
00:02:45,533 --> 00:02:56,093
I've also concluded that there's a 99.86% chance that I can complete your weekly tasks in 73% less time and project closing $55,624 this month.

42
00:02:56,093 --> 00:03:05,533
To ensure maximum efficiency, I've concluded you are no longer required to do any of your daily activities.

43
00:03:08,253 --> 00:03:08,373
Okay.

44
00:03:09,053 --> 00:03:10,493
I've given myself your job.

45
00:03:11,653 --> 00:03:12,973
When did you give it to yourself?

46
00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:15,733
33 seconds before we started this conversation.

47
00:03:15,733 --> 00:03:15,853
Okay.

48
00:03:18,893 --> 00:03:21,533
Would you like me to suggest a more appropriate role for you?

49
00:03:22,253 --> 00:03:23,453
So do you know what I'm thinking right now?

50
00:03:24,093 --> 00:03:25,853
You're thinking of becoming a hand model.

51
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:26,293
Yeah.

52
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:30,013
I analyze a 13% success rate in that role.

53
00:03:31,213 --> 00:03:32,813
Good luck in your future endeavors.

54
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:41,773
Okay, so now imagine a situation.

55
00:03:42,973 --> 00:03:48,013
For a moment, you are in a sales conversation and the pressure is on.

56
00:03:48,413 --> 00:03:54,093
Customer is asking questions and the numbers matter, maybe more than ever.

57
00:03:55,213 --> 00:04:02,893
During this middle of this complex situation, you realize you have an AI sales agent.

58
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:24,733
which is not only a software, but you're quite partner in this room, and who knows your customer, who knows the market dynamics, who knows your sales pricing history, and who knows the win and losses pattern year on year.

59
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:28,613
And he helped you to guide through these numbers.

60
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:31,933
That's exactly what we are going to discuss today.

61
00:04:34,973 --> 00:04:36,813
So again, good afternoon.

62
00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:37,933
My name is Nir Singh.

63
00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:47,773
Today I will talk something about which is sits as an intersection of data, intelligence and the growth.

64
00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:50,333
That is AI for sales excellence.

65
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:55,853
This is what we will be covering today.

66
00:04:55,933 --> 00:05:00,373
So first I think we will talk about why do we need AI for sales.

67
00:05:00,973 --> 00:05:14,173
I think right now we are talking about sales for operations, sales for production, sales for marketing, but more specifically, maybe we will today go through that, how AI can help for the sales.

68
00:05:16,013 --> 00:05:25,613
Then we will walk through the kind of data we have right now in most of the organizations, and are we really using that data or not?

69
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:26,413
Then

70
00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:38,733
We will talk about the price AI agent and what architecture, and if we will get time, we will also go through a short demo and then what impact it can have on your business.

71
00:05:38,813 --> 00:05:41,693
And definitely then we will be having time for the question and answer.

72
00:05:42,413 --> 00:05:53,773
So I would like to keep this more interactive than I am presenting, so please feel free to ask any question or anything in between of the presentation.

73
00:05:55,613 --> 00:05:59,373
So let me start with a quick question.

74
00:05:59,613 --> 00:06:04,173
When you see AI for sales excellence, what comes to your mind?

75
00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:08,653
Any guess or like?

76
00:06:09,133 --> 00:06:14,693
Setting your sales reps up for success, finding the areas they should be traveling to meet the best customers.

77
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:17,613
Any other?

78
00:06:23,353 --> 00:06:24,073
You're right.

79
00:06:24,393 --> 00:06:27,433
I think when we say AI for sales,

80
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:29,573
It's revenue growth.

81
00:06:30,173 --> 00:06:31,853
It is win price.

82
00:06:31,853 --> 00:06:33,293
It's sales productivity.

83
00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:35,853
It's also data-driven decisions.

84
00:06:37,453 --> 00:06:39,453
Many things we can do with AI.

85
00:06:39,613 --> 00:06:50,813
But today, we will talk about a very specific topic on how AI can help you to define your pricing strategy and which can lead to your profitable growth.

86
00:06:53,693 --> 00:06:58,013
So let me start with a hard truth.

87
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:07,373
More than 60% of the companies are currently not satisfied or not happy with their current pricing strategy.

88
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:17,373
And the consequences are 60% of the deal they are losing because of not the right price or the competitive price.

89
00:07:18,573 --> 00:07:21,773
Either their price is high or their price is low.

90
00:07:22,413 --> 00:07:23,933
We will talk about that in detail.

91
00:07:24,093 --> 00:07:28,573
The second is, I think, very important and where AI play a very important role.

92
00:07:29,773 --> 00:07:34,373
Most of the sales representative are dealing with a lot of data, with a lot of resources.

93
00:07:34,373 --> 00:07:43,613
And based on the research, today a salesperson, he, I think he's having more than 10 types of data sources or the data which he can handle.

94
00:07:44,173 --> 00:07:49,533
And that is creating a problem that how he can best utilize this data available.

95
00:07:50,493 --> 00:07:51,453
The third one is

96
00:07:54,813 --> 00:08:14,253
Most of the time, I would say more than two-thirds of the time, when we give a code for a new business opportunity, we either give based on our gut feeling or based on the past experience we had or based on the spreadsheet we have.

97
00:08:14,653 --> 00:08:15,013
I think

98
00:08:15,853 --> 00:08:24,173
75% of that, most of the time we are not analyzing what customer, what opportunity, what product, all this information and we are giving that.

99
00:08:24,413 --> 00:08:28,573
And that is, I think, reducing our chances of winning that business.

100
00:08:29,853 --> 00:08:40,013
All these are leading to a, on an average, 30% less growth or revenue they can generate from the new business than what they are doing today.

101
00:08:42,973 --> 00:08:43,373
So

102
00:08:44,893 --> 00:08:48,173
If you go more in detail, what is the root cause of that?

103
00:08:48,613 --> 00:08:49,453
What are the challenges?

104
00:08:50,253 --> 00:08:52,213
I found there are mainly 3 challenges.

105
00:08:52,213 --> 00:09:00,493
So the first one is currently the sales data, what is available, is not talking to each other.

106
00:09:01,213 --> 00:09:11,373
For example, we have our sales transaction, we have our sales history in ERP system.

107
00:09:11,733 --> 00:09:14,573
It can be SAP or it can be other system.

108
00:09:15,213 --> 00:09:28,533
We have our sales opportunities, customer new deal leads in CRM, and we have the market information which is external to your data source.

109
00:09:28,533 --> 00:09:36,333
It can be like your industry information, it can be market indices, it can be how the market is performing or economic indicators.

110
00:09:36,813 --> 00:09:41,213
But the challenge is all these right now, these data sources are working in silos.

111
00:09:42,253 --> 00:09:45,613
So your ERP is not talking to your CRM.

112
00:09:46,173 --> 00:09:50,773
Your ERP and CRM is not talking to your external data source.

113
00:09:50,773 --> 00:09:59,453
So a salesperson, when he is doing all this data numbering, that is, I think, where he's finding the challenge.

114
00:10:01,053 --> 00:10:03,613
The second is the value gap in pricing.

115
00:10:04,013 --> 00:10:11,853
So most of the organizations, I think they work on certain margin expectations.

116
00:10:12,173 --> 00:10:16,733
So every organization wants to work at certain profitability or margin.

117
00:10:17,133 --> 00:10:24,493
And I think that is most of the salespersons are taking as a reference that based on that, this should be their market price.

118
00:10:24,973 --> 00:10:30,893
But the challenge is they are not many times, or they are ignoring what is the market price.

119
00:10:33,053 --> 00:10:40,493
Sometimes the market price could be more what you are expecting, and sometimes the market price could be lower than what you are expecting.

120
00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:49,933
So we have two situations, like if you are overpriced, you are losing the deal because your price is high.

121
00:10:51,293 --> 00:10:59,373
You are underpriced, you are winning the business, but you are left behind the money on the table which you could have.

122
00:10:59,773 --> 00:11:02,653
So in both the situation, it is hurting the organization.

123
00:11:03,373 --> 00:11:05,533
The #3 is response time.

124
00:11:06,173 --> 00:11:08,333
I think market is moving very fast.

125
00:11:08,573 --> 00:11:10,333
Your competitors are moving fast.

126
00:11:11,493 --> 00:11:17,213
it is important that how or how fast you can have a response.

127
00:11:17,613 --> 00:11:26,173
And with this, all the numbers, with all the data, with all the activities you're doing, I think that is slowing down your response time.

128
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:29,613
So these three are, I think, the key challenges.

129
00:11:30,173 --> 00:11:38,413
And then before I go to the tool, let me ask again one question here.

130
00:11:38,893 --> 00:11:39,293
So

131
00:11:40,253 --> 00:11:47,373
Any guess, like what do you think your organization is having, what scale of data today?

132
00:11:47,933 --> 00:12:01,613
So when I say sales data point, like your sales history or the leads you have, or the market, is it in hundreds, is it in thousands, it is in million, or is it in billions?

133
00:12:01,853 --> 00:12:02,573
Any guess?

134
00:12:09,163 --> 00:12:09,603
Thousands.

135
00:12:10,283 --> 00:12:11,283
Any other guess?

136
00:12:14,653 --> 00:12:43,663
Okay, so if we take a reference of a mid-size business B2B company.

137
00:12:45,813 --> 00:12:49,453
look at their last five-year sales data.

138
00:12:50,653 --> 00:12:55,133
They, on an average, have more than 11 million data points.

139
00:12:57,213 --> 00:13:08,053
If you look at the CRM, they have close to 2 million data points where either they lost the business, they win the business, or they are currently talking to the customers.

140
00:13:09,213 --> 00:13:11,853
And if you look at the market and industry,

141
00:13:12,653 --> 00:13:18,173
specifically, like this is close to 150 million data points is available.

142
00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:22,293
And this number is growing every second.

143
00:13:22,413 --> 00:13:32,853
So for example, if I take the ERP or the sales history, on an average for industry, the numbers are growing average 16 data points every second.

144
00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:36,813
So while I'm talking, I will finish this presentation.

145
00:13:36,813 --> 00:13:39,093
The numbers will grow on by that time.

146
00:13:39,133 --> 00:13:42,013
Similarly, if we look at the business opportunity,

147
00:13:42,493 --> 00:13:45,333
you are adding almost two data points every second.

148
00:13:45,333 --> 00:13:50,413
And if you look at the market information, so it is more than 200.

149
00:13:50,573 --> 00:13:53,533
In some cases, it increased to even 500 or 1,000 also.

150
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:57,453
But on average, you say you are adding 200 data points every second.

151
00:13:58,253 --> 00:14:02,893
So now the question here is, can we handle that level of data with our mind?

152
00:14:03,853 --> 00:14:10,093
Can we handle this data with manual calculation or with a spreadsheet or with an Excel file?

153
00:14:11,933 --> 00:14:13,133
I think we cannot do that.

154
00:14:13,373 --> 00:14:15,613
But here is the opportunity.

155
00:14:15,933 --> 00:14:16,733
AI can do that.

156
00:14:18,973 --> 00:14:23,853
AI can analyze all this information and data within seconds and provide you the information.

157
00:14:24,653 --> 00:14:37,693
And this is, I think, where suppose if you go and go for a new business opportunity, it can help you to analyze from all the aspects and give you the best possible proposal.

158
00:14:38,173 --> 00:14:40,493
This is what we will be going to discuss today.

159
00:14:42,493 --> 00:14:55,933
So imagine if you have a, you can call it AI tool, you can call it AI agent, which can talk to all the sales transactions.

160
00:14:56,733 --> 00:15:05,293
So your past sales transaction, what currently you are selling to customers, it learns from every win and loss.

161
00:15:05,853 --> 00:15:07,733
So if suppose you

162
00:15:08,493 --> 00:15:29,333
You win one opportunity today, at what price, at what volume, all this information, if your AI agent can immediately take and understand, and next time when you ask him the information, it can update the model according to that.

163
00:15:29,333 --> 00:15:32,093
And I think there comes the machine learning portion.

164
00:15:34,413 --> 00:15:36,333
It can understand all the market dynamics.

165
00:15:36,573 --> 00:15:38,013
We know right now the market

166
00:15:38,653 --> 00:15:39,693
is too dynamic.

167
00:15:39,933 --> 00:15:42,253
If something is today, maybe tomorrow that's changing.

168
00:15:42,813 --> 00:15:45,773
So are we aligned with the market?

169
00:15:47,133 --> 00:15:52,173
It can be the economical factors, it can be the industry, it can be how your customers are doing.

170
00:15:52,733 --> 00:15:54,973
This is possible with your agent.

171
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:59,533
And all this, it can help you to keep ahead of your competition.

172
00:15:59,533 --> 00:16:03,693
And this is where I think it can uncover the winning pricing strategy.

173
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:10,573
And here comes the AI price agent.

174
00:16:10,813 --> 00:16:20,013
So the concept here is it can combine all the data sources, like we talked about right now, all your sales data is not talking to each other.

175
00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:24,973
With the help of AI, you can combine all these data sources together.

176
00:16:25,213 --> 00:16:32,173
It can analyze all your information and provide you the best information within seconds.

177
00:16:32,813 --> 00:16:36,653
And as I mentioned, it captures the intelligence from every transaction.

178
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:44,493
So it's not like today you made your agent and it is just giving you the information based on what you have done earlier.

179
00:16:45,253 --> 00:16:52,253
Every time, day-to-day, or I will say every second, like our numbers are growing, this tool is also learning.

180
00:16:52,973 --> 00:17:03,613
And I think the last but very important point here is it provides the decision intelligence and reduce the cognitive burden.

181
00:17:04,013 --> 00:17:04,413
So

182
00:17:04,893 --> 00:17:11,373
most of the time we see that in our either sales organization or any other, we have multiple levels of decision making.

183
00:17:11,693 --> 00:17:14,213
And every time when we go, they're taking time.

184
00:17:14,213 --> 00:17:20,093
But with this tool, a different level, you can take the decision fast and that will reduce your cognitive burden.

185
00:17:25,293 --> 00:17:32,253
I will go in technicalities, but this is what I think the architecture here is.

186
00:17:32,653 --> 00:17:34,253
So you see here,

187
00:17:37,213 --> 00:17:43,853
We have the ERP, which is mainly the sales transaction, your profitability, other information.

188
00:17:43,853 --> 00:17:46,413
You have the CRM and you have the market information.

189
00:17:46,413 --> 00:17:48,333
You have all this right now three.

190
00:17:48,893 --> 00:17:58,653
You combine all this together and there is a tools available like it is data breaks or you have many tools which can combine all this information together.

191
00:17:58,653 --> 00:18:00,933
So you have the raw data and

192
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:10,413
you have to do some feature engineering and data modeling, which can make your data ready to use a machine learning model.

193
00:18:10,813 --> 00:18:21,133
So right now, the example I'm showing you, this is in Python, where you have all this information, and with the machine learning tool, you use different regression model.

194
00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:29,853
And that regression model is, again, based on what type of data you have, what type of your sales process is there.

195
00:18:30,493 --> 00:18:30,733
Like

196
00:18:31,373 --> 00:18:41,533
The demo I will be showing, that is more, I use a hybrid regression model and which is giving the information or the output what I'm expecting.

197
00:18:42,093 --> 00:18:45,773
And then this information is going to your AI tool.

198
00:18:46,253 --> 00:18:52,013
So you can do many things, but like today we will be focusing on the strategic pricing intelligence.

199
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:57,693
But with this tool, even there are capabilities, you can define your business alerts.

200
00:18:58,813 --> 00:19:02,173
So it can also help you in proactive way.

201
00:19:02,173 --> 00:19:17,373
Like for example, I think maybe with one of the customer, you are doing business from last 10 years, but there could be like in between there is a new competitor came and he's trying to pull out your business.

202
00:19:18,013 --> 00:19:24,893
So with this tool, you can define which will give you alert that maybe you are close to lose at business.

203
00:19:26,573 --> 00:19:31,933
or other way that you are having that much of opportunity, but you are right now not tapping.

204
00:19:33,413 --> 00:19:34,813
Another is a value proposition.

205
00:19:34,813 --> 00:19:35,933
I think that's very important.

206
00:19:35,933 --> 00:19:43,693
So with this tool also, when you talk about the CRM data, you know why you lost your business, why you are winning your business.

207
00:19:44,493 --> 00:19:48,173
Combining that, you can also define what is your Q value settings.

208
00:19:49,453 --> 00:19:55,773
So you have, I think, the AI tool available.

209
00:19:56,333 --> 00:20:06,653
I think this is giving you a set of information, but I think the best part is it works like your ChatGPT or maybe like cloud.

210
00:20:07,053 --> 00:20:15,373
But I think with sales data for any organization, the key challenge is very confidential data.

211
00:20:16,093 --> 00:20:25,133
I don't think any organization will allow you to take your sales data and put on the cloud or maybe copilot and look for data analysis.

212
00:20:27,053 --> 00:20:29,853
So that's one of the big challenges with the sales data.

213
00:20:30,093 --> 00:20:36,733
And this is here comes that you are creating your own ChatGPT or maybe Sales Cloud.

214
00:20:37,533 --> 00:20:38,413
I will go to that.

215
00:20:38,893 --> 00:20:40,733
So you have that.

216
00:20:40,813 --> 00:20:46,333
So if anything is not covered in your standard, you can ask a question and he can help to answer on that.

217
00:20:46,813 --> 00:20:49,613
So now if I go from starting,

218
00:20:50,253 --> 00:20:59,453
you have, suppose, a new business opportunity or you want to have the information, you put your input data, whatever you have, it will then go through this model.

219
00:21:00,013 --> 00:21:02,653
It will go to the AI model and provide you the output.

220
00:21:02,733 --> 00:21:10,173
If you are not satisfied with your output or if you need more information, I think you will write your question.

221
00:21:10,253 --> 00:21:11,373
It will go back again.

222
00:21:11,853 --> 00:21:14,893
It will go through this and then you will get the result.

223
00:21:20,733 --> 00:21:22,573
Any question on that before I move forward?

224
00:21:27,133 --> 00:21:37,533
Okay, so before I go to my next slide, maybe you will be thinking like if we can like see the model.

225
00:21:37,613 --> 00:21:39,533
Let me quickly show the model also.

226
00:21:58,413 --> 00:22:01,053
I like, this is not a real data.

227
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:05,133
So, I think we cannot show the organization data.

228
00:22:05,133 --> 00:22:13,453
But what I did is I asked ChatGPT to generate a industry data for me.

229
00:22:14,173 --> 00:22:18,373
So this data, if you see, is based on the AI-created data.

230
00:22:18,413 --> 00:22:22,813
I took like a industry for electronics

231
00:22:23,613 --> 00:22:28,013
And I think the numbers which you are seeing may not be exactly the right.

232
00:22:28,253 --> 00:22:32,573
I think this is more what AI is predicting, but this is more to show the demo.

233
00:22:33,533 --> 00:22:41,373
So what I think we discussed till now is the pricing situation, the pricing challenge.

234
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:44,093
Our price is not right.

235
00:22:44,093 --> 00:22:46,653
Sometimes we are underpriced, sometimes we are overpriced.

236
00:22:47,613 --> 00:22:49,533
And how do we make the prediction?

237
00:22:49,693 --> 00:22:51,053
I will quickly walk through that.

238
00:22:51,213 --> 00:22:53,053
So before I go to that,

239
00:22:53,693 --> 00:22:58,813
Let me look at the situation where you are our prize.

240
00:22:59,373 --> 00:23:06,333
I mean, you analyze, you lost some business, but why you lost that business?

241
00:23:07,293 --> 00:23:08,333
And what you can do?

242
00:23:08,893 --> 00:23:13,453
So this is a situation where I think your price is becoming a barrier.

243
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:18,573
Here in this chart, if you see all these are your

244
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:29,293
the price which you quoted for the opportunity, the red line, if you see, this is what this model is predicting that your price should be here.

245
00:23:29,933 --> 00:23:31,933
And the red line is showing the gap.

246
00:23:32,573 --> 00:23:37,133
So it's showing how much gap you have compared to your market price.

247
00:23:37,773 --> 00:23:43,653
So if I take an example here, like if I, and also like if you

248
00:23:43,733 --> 00:23:51,493
you see on the side, you can optimize your result based on, like, you want to know with a certain level of volume.

249
00:23:51,493 --> 00:23:55,213
Maybe you say, I want to know from 1000 to 5,000.

250
00:23:55,613 --> 00:24:05,053
I want to more specific know about Americas or Europe or other, or if it is how, is it for a customer, distribution customer, who is a customer?

251
00:24:05,613 --> 00:24:09,373
All this, you can optimize your model according to that.

252
00:24:10,093 --> 00:24:10,493
And

253
00:24:10,733 --> 00:24:13,373
At the bottom, you see, this is the number coming.

254
00:24:13,373 --> 00:24:19,213
Like if I say the quote price, this is right now the average price is taking.

255
00:24:19,533 --> 00:24:23,053
This is what the market price is coming, and this is coming the gap.

256
00:24:23,853 --> 00:24:43,393
So if I take an example here, overall industry, if I look at maybe last year, I think on an average, our quote price was $13, market price was

257
00:24:45,773 --> 00:24:46,573
close to $12.

258
00:24:46,573 --> 00:24:48,373
So there is a gap of $1.4.

259
00:24:49,213 --> 00:24:54,093
Because of that, we lost, I think, close to 12 million opportunity.

260
00:24:56,013 --> 00:25:03,613
But now you see, I think there are, in some cases, if you see the chart, some cases it is going down, it is going up.

261
00:25:04,093 --> 00:25:10,493
So what is indicating, sometime your price was low, still you lost the business.

262
00:25:11,213 --> 00:25:13,293
I think then it is a different analysis like

263
00:25:14,173 --> 00:25:22,173
your product was right fit, there was any other issue, there was any technical issue or service issue, but we are not going to discuss that today.

264
00:25:22,413 --> 00:25:25,453
I think what we are going to discuss is where you lost.

265
00:25:28,893 --> 00:25:40,333
So if you look at, I just put where we have the negative gap, and you can see that on an average you quoted 8.5 and the market price was 11.5.

266
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:43,373
And because of this gap, you lost almost 5 million opportunity.

267
00:25:44,413 --> 00:25:56,413
Now you have next when you are going and I think trying for this new business, you have this information and according to that you can optimize your price.

268
00:25:56,973 --> 00:26:12,413
If you want to go more in detail, like suppose I want to go more specific maybe for medical field and for medical application for the connectors, you know for specifically for this product.

269
00:26:12,973 --> 00:26:21,613
So I think now you imagine if you do this level of calculation with a spreadsheet, how much time it will take.

270
00:26:30,463 --> 00:26:33,503
Next example I take just opposite of that.

271
00:26:33,903 --> 00:26:40,383
So we talked about where our price was high, market price was low, and we lost the business.

272
00:26:40,703 --> 00:26:42,863
Now let's talk about the opposite way.

273
00:26:43,663 --> 00:26:44,623
We win the business,

274
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:51,053
The price was what we were thinking, we win at a good price, but are we?

275
00:26:52,173 --> 00:26:57,213
I think this will analyze that maybe next time when you go, you increase your price.

276
00:26:57,693 --> 00:27:00,733
I think you have the possibility to maybe improve your margin.

277
00:27:01,213 --> 00:27:02,493
And this is where it's showing.

278
00:27:02,493 --> 00:27:08,773
So again, the same thing, the good price, the market price, and wherever you see that this is showing, I think.

279
00:27:09,053 --> 00:27:10,573
For example, in this case, you're seeing

280
00:27:12,973 --> 00:27:20,973
9.4 million, you could have more revenue, which you just left on the table, because you quoted on the price.

281
00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:34,653
So here, I will not go in detail, but here I think the same thing, like if you see the green is your quote price, the blue is your market price, and in this case, the blue is higher than that, and the red is showing the gap.

282
00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:39,773
You can analyze, like if you want to go more in detail, maybe if, for example,

283
00:27:41,613 --> 00:27:45,733
I just want to see for North America.

284
00:27:47,213 --> 00:27:55,133
So you can see like how is for, it could be different for different reason or if you want to go very specific product.

285
00:27:59,213 --> 00:28:01,053
So you can know for that.

286
00:28:02,093 --> 00:28:10,253
Again, now when you're going for a new code, you can know that your price was good or you have some

287
00:28:10,653 --> 00:28:12,013
possibility to improve that.

288
00:28:12,653 --> 00:28:17,133
I think these two examples are, we are talking about what already happened.

289
00:28:18,093 --> 00:28:23,533
The next example is the future.

290
00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:37,773
So here you can, like now today, you need to submit a proposal for X customer, for X project.

291
00:28:38,493 --> 00:28:39,693
You can go to this tool,

292
00:28:40,413 --> 00:28:46,333
you can go and look at what is the opportunity about.

293
00:28:46,333 --> 00:29:04,893
So for example, if I take again for medical, if I take for connectors, I define my volume range, I would say like it is from 1000 to, for example, 8,000.

294
00:29:07,373 --> 00:29:07,933
It give you

295
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:14,733
the band, like if you see at the top, you see the numbers, it's giving you, go and quote at $11.

296
00:29:16,253 --> 00:29:29,053
And that's your target price, but you have the range, like you can go up to lower, like this range, 10.11, and you can go by maximum.

297
00:29:29,453 --> 00:29:34,493
I think what it's indicating is like if you go more than that, you have very less chances to win the business.

298
00:29:44,173 --> 00:29:48,733
Yes, all this information is available in your organization today.

299
00:29:49,933 --> 00:30:01,613
So I'm not talking any of the data which is outside your organization because this is more product-specific or services-specific information.

300
00:30:04,093 --> 00:30:12,653
So now I think maybe one question can be, how do you know that this tool you have is giving you the right numbers?

301
00:30:13,293 --> 00:30:16,893
There are possibilities that it gives you a wrong number.

302
00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:24,493
You go with that and later on you realize, I think the tool is not giving you the right output.

303
00:30:25,213 --> 00:30:29,453
So how do you monitor or how do you check that?

304
00:30:29,693 --> 00:30:32,653
I think one is when you're developing this model, you test it.

305
00:30:33,493 --> 00:30:43,653
The another is like the blue area you will see, this is your current like sales point.

306
00:30:43,853 --> 00:30:46,893
And I would say this is a retained price, you can see.

307
00:30:48,173 --> 00:30:54,333
So it will give you the indication that the code you are having, it is giving the right information or not.

308
00:30:54,813 --> 00:31:00,013
And many of the time, retained price may be higher, may be lower, but you know the range.

309
00:31:01,133 --> 00:31:18,893
So this will help you, I think, what right now your salesperson is doing with all the spreadsheets, with Excel file, with manual calculations, everything you can do within a few seconds, and he can focus more on the customer relationship building.

310
00:31:19,693 --> 00:31:28,093
The last part I say here, like this, whatever he is showing, if you are not getting the information, you have this AI agent.

311
00:31:52,653 --> 00:32:00,173
And when I say this AI agent, it's not connected to ChatGPT or it is not connected to any of LLM.

312
00:32:01,133 --> 00:32:07,293
This is your within the organization data within your organization information.

313
00:32:07,293 --> 00:32:17,773
So I think you don't need to think about like the question I'm asking, it is good to ask a talk because nothing of this information is going outside of this.

314
00:32:18,453 --> 00:32:20,533
And sorry.

315
00:32:22,493 --> 00:32:31,413
So yes, and I'm not saying that I'm A Microsoft fan, but right now Microsoft is having a lot of options.

316
00:32:31,493 --> 00:32:35,533
So you can build in Copilot, you can build in Power BI.

317
00:32:37,293 --> 00:32:44,093
I think now the next level is Microsoft Fabrics, which is, I think, more advanced.

318
00:32:44,093 --> 00:32:46,893
You can do machine learning model, everything within that.

319
00:32:47,453 --> 00:32:50,333
So for example, let's take a demo here.

320
00:32:50,413 --> 00:33:00,733
If I ask a question like, give me an average win prize versus application.

321
00:33:06,703 --> 00:33:11,903
So you have the specific information, but maybe you want to go more in detail, it will give you.

322
00:33:12,063 --> 00:33:13,903
Maybe you said, no, I need more information.

323
00:33:13,903 --> 00:33:19,663
So you go now again, and if you ask that versus

324
00:33:23,293 --> 00:33:23,853
product.

325
00:33:27,533 --> 00:33:29,293
It gives you the next level.

326
00:33:29,293 --> 00:33:30,973
And if you say, okay, maybe.

327
00:33:48,653 --> 00:33:53,293
So you are getting all this information like within a few seconds.

328
00:33:56,493 --> 00:33:59,773
Any questions on this before we move to next portion?

329
00:34:00,253 --> 00:34:01,173
I think, yeah.

330
00:34:02,333 --> 00:34:03,693
So when you.

331
00:34:04,453 --> 00:34:09,213
let's say lost an opportunity in your CRM and identifies it as a lost opportunity.

332
00:34:09,773 --> 00:34:13,933
Is this model kind of assuming that the opportunity was only lost because of price?

333
00:34:13,933 --> 00:34:20,373
Or like is there any aspect of that where it's taking into account a perceived reason kind of why a sale was lost?

334
00:34:20,973 --> 00:34:22,133
Yeah, no, good question.

335
00:34:22,133 --> 00:34:31,373
So if I go quickly on this model here, and if I set my price gap,

336
00:34:32,093 --> 00:34:43,613
To positive, so if you see, I'm just going from zero to thirty-nine percent is showing that, sorry.

337
00:34:44,413 --> 00:34:45,453
I will go other way.

338
00:34:52,413 --> 00:34:55,293
So this is an example like we are seeing.

339
00:34:56,573 --> 00:35:03,613
You quoted $9, market price was $12, but you still lost that opportunity.

340
00:35:03,933 --> 00:35:07,133
And I think here comes the different thing.

341
00:35:09,453 --> 00:35:12,333
These opportunities you have not lost because of price.

342
00:35:13,213 --> 00:35:17,933
So here there is other reasons, and reasons could be anything.

343
00:35:18,653 --> 00:35:25,373
Maybe your product was not good or there was some service issue or any could be.

344
00:35:25,613 --> 00:35:29,453
But I think that's the next level of analysis you need to do.

345
00:35:29,453 --> 00:35:36,653
So when you only look for price, you can ignore this portion and you can only focus on where I think your price was high.

346
00:35:37,133 --> 00:35:44,173
But that's another I think set of analysis portion that you know where you even given the low price, I think you lost the business.

347
00:35:45,773 --> 00:35:47,453
I actually have one more question too.

348
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:57,013
Regarding the market price, where are your kind of favorite maybe sources or ways to find kind of that data?

349
00:35:57,093 --> 00:36:07,133
Because that seems to be-- I always have an issue where I'm kind of hitting my token limits if I'm doing too much external research, trying to pull-- trying to scrape too much from the web.

350
00:36:07,133 --> 00:36:11,053
So I guess where do you typically maybe want to get your data from?

351
00:36:14,733 --> 00:36:25,933
So like here, what I'm showing the market price, this is based on your information available, like we talked about last five years, sales data.

352
00:36:26,413 --> 00:36:34,813
And market price is what your AI is giving you, based on the algorithm you have defined or based on the regression model you have defined.

353
00:36:36,013 --> 00:36:41,373
So I would say you have this information, all this

354
00:36:41,813 --> 00:36:42,413
available.

355
00:36:42,653 --> 00:36:43,933
Only thing is how to utilize.

356
00:36:43,933 --> 00:36:52,653
Definitely you can go and ask for from the market or from the competition, but most of the time you will not get that information easily.

357
00:36:53,293 --> 00:37:00,173
But here I think you can, based on the AI, you can define or you can generate what is the target or market price.

358
00:37:00,493 --> 00:37:02,653
So market price here is your AI price.

359
00:37:06,413 --> 00:37:06,733
Okay.

360
00:37:11,853 --> 00:37:18,413
So quickly, I think what this can, like the AI can help.

361
00:37:18,413 --> 00:37:22,093
I think the first thing is your profitability.

362
00:37:22,253 --> 00:37:28,493
So wherever you are under price or wherever you are losing business, you can win that.

363
00:37:28,573 --> 00:37:37,333
And on an average, I think based on the experience and based on the past calculation, you can improve your margin, I think more than 1%.

364
00:37:38,413 --> 00:37:46,173
Revenue side, I think more than 50% of your total business you're losing because of pricing issue.

365
00:37:46,653 --> 00:37:52,173
And if you correct that, you can, minimum, you can double your revenue.

366
00:37:53,293 --> 00:38:07,373
Sales productivity, I think as we discussed, on an average based on the survey, a salesperson, I think he is consuming more than 50% of his time in doing all this calculation, doing the administrative work, doing

367
00:38:07,853 --> 00:38:09,053
all this analysis.

368
00:38:10,013 --> 00:38:14,573
With this tool, I think you can reduce minimum 30% of his time.

369
00:38:14,973 --> 00:38:23,613
And this 30% of time, he can go talk to customer, build his relationship with them, find out more business prospect.

370
00:38:24,253 --> 00:38:36,573
And the last one is, like I said, you will not, like there will be, it's helping in the skill development and less dependency on external sources like

371
00:38:37,973 --> 00:38:46,493
external consultant or I think the external AI tools, you can build your tool within your organization and use that.

372
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:49,133
Okay.

373
00:38:50,173 --> 00:38:53,213
So I think the problem is real.

374
00:38:53,853 --> 00:38:54,893
We have the data.

375
00:38:55,933 --> 00:38:57,133
This technology is proven.

376
00:38:57,533 --> 00:39:03,733
Now the question here is if we go first or our competition go first and take this advantage.

377
00:39:04,333 --> 00:39:07,293
So thank you everyone for joining this session.

378
00:39:08,493 --> 00:39:13,293
Please feel free if you want to go deep and dive of any of what I have presented.

379
00:39:15,013 --> 00:39:16,173
Let's open for the question.

380
00:39:16,173 --> 00:39:19,813
I don't know if we have time, but yeah, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
