The Four Levels of Maturity
Level 1: Reactive
At this stage, organizations operate in a reactionary mode, with limited structure and manual processes. There is no proactive sales focus, and Aftermarket opportunities are often missed.
- People & Process: Support teams react to inbound parts requests, but there’s no dedicated Aftermarket sales function.
- Tools & Technology: Reliance on ERP systems, with quotes manually generated.
- Data: Data is sparse and informal, with teams relying on “tribal knowledge” rather than structured insights.
- Next Steps: Begin by creating a dedicated aftermarket sales process and adopting basic tools to streamline operations and track data.
Level 2: Foundational
Organizations at this level have taken initial steps towards separating sales from support, but remain largely reactive. The groundwork for proactive sales efforts is being laid.
- People & Process: Inside Sales manages inbound parts sales, but the focus is still on reactive processes.
- Tools & Technology: CRM is used, mainly for new equipment, and basic product registration is in place.
- Data: A database for Installed Base assets exists, with limited visibility into Aftermarket entitlements.
- Next Steps: Focus on building a more proactive sales approach, while expanding your data management practices to provide a fuller view of your Installed Base.
Level 3: Proactive
Organizations at this stage have structured their processes, enabling proactive engagement with their Installed Base. The use of tools and data has become more advanced.
- People & Process: Inside Sales teams are focused on proactive outreach, with field sales leveraging installed base data to optimize customer interactions.
- Tools & Technology: Targeted hunting lists, digital marketing platforms, and digital parts catalogs are in place. Service notes are analyzed for upsell opportunities.
- Data: A comprehensive, 360-degree view of the Installed Base is available. Data is cleaned, de-duplicated, and used for share of wallet analysis.
- Next Steps: Leverage customer insights to refine your marketing and sales strategies, and invest in advanced analytics to support data-driven decision-making.
Level 4: Optimized
Fully optimized organizations operate with integrated systems, advanced tools, and predictive analytics to guide their decisions and drive growth.
- People & Process: Inside Sales runs outbound campaigns driven by data, with digital marketing and Aftermarket incentives aligned for maximum impact.
- Tools & Technology: Integrated CRM, eCommerce, and a unified customer portal with full installed base visibility are in place. Mobile apps offer access to IB data on the go.
- Data: Advanced analytics provide predictions, recommendations, and loyalty insights that are seamlessly integrated across CRM, BI, and other platforms.
- Next Steps: Continue refining your data strategies and focus on maintaining innovation to stay ahead in a competitive market.
