Situation Analysis:
Baria Planning Solutions (BPS) is a consulting firm serving manufacturers with $95 million in annual sales. BPS analyses its customer spending categories and identifies various sources of potential savings. It carries out various change management, supplier consolidation and purchase standardization initiatives to attain its objective. It specialises in “Spend Analysis”. In order to expand, BPS acquired various niche service providers. BPS practised a solution selling process which was essentially a cumulative sales process. In 2010, BPS had 18% of the market.
Now, BPS was on a cross road. According to the latest forecasts, BPS had put up a dismal performance. Its win rate stood at 15.5%. Its renewal rate had dropped from 91% to 84%. The problem was attributed to the sales support group who couldn’t timely assist the sales group. The members of this group complained of high workload and lack of time to finish off the work. The challenge was to either hire new workers or stream line the solution selling process.

Part 2 explained the first move, quickly designing best practices into your demand planning process. Part 3 addressed the second move, equipping people to run at best practice process capability. The final article in this series examines the third fundamental move, integration and alignment. If you have been following this series, you know that the demand planning lifeline has been thrown, a strong line snaking out, guided by capable hands. There was the pitch and now there has to be the catch. Winning with demand planning Remember that the demand plan we have been talking about contains the business’s revenue projections based on planned marketing and selling activities to achieve them. Marketing and sales reached consensus on a plan, and now marketing and sales have to execute the plan — “the pitch and the catch.” This is the third fundamental move: integrating and aligning the upgraded demand planning process with other commercial execution processes and also with product development, supply chain, and finance.
