Primary Intelligence
and The Chapman Group Announce
Strategic Partnership
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
– Tuesday, October 26, 2004, 9:00
am EST
Primary Intelligence,
a leading provider of sales, market,
and competitive intelligence
solutions, and The Chapman Group, a
premier provider of integrated sales
process consulting and sales
effectiveness solutions announced
today the formation of a strategic
partnership to provide new
metric-based tools proven to
optimize sales performance.
In addition to adding
each company’s respective services
to their current offerings, Primary
Intelligence and The Chapman Group
will develop a new metric-based
technology leveraging existing
leading indicators and predictive
analytics. By combining The
Chapman Group’s LoyaltyPro™ with
Primary Intelligence’s Sales
Confidence Index, users will be
provided leading indicators as to
the future behavior of recurring and
new revenue streams, and Executive
Officers will have new insights into
the general health of ongoing sales
efforts, revenue trends and key
account retention and attrition, at
least three months in advance.
“The Chapman Group
and Primary Intelligence have
developed solution sets that are a
natural match,“ said Rob Jeppsen,
Chief Strategy Officer at Primary
Intelligence, “Together, these
leading indicators provide insights
that have never been available to
Executive Officers. By
blending attrition risk, loyalty
metrics, and attitudinal drivers
from the sales force, organizations
will know exactly where future
revenue will come from and what
challenges are in front of them well
in advance. More importantly,
they’ll be able to identify the root
causes of their wins and losses.”
Dennis Chapman,
President and CEO of The Chapman
Group, sees this partnership with
Primary Intelligence as creating one
of the most innovative sales
solutions for corporate executives.
Mr. Chapman states; “This
partnership will offer, for the
first time in business, on-demand 24
x 7 predictive sales analytics that
will enable all sales leaders and
corporations to make the necessary
and immediate corrections to their
business plans. Quick responsiveness
to sales and market changes will
have a profound impact on
profitability, competitive advantage
and ultimately shareholder equity.
For the first time, Executive
Officers will be able to implement
critical sales strategies on a
timely basis, and never have to be
in the dark about their sales and
revenue trending. This is a profound
business leadership breakthrough.”
The new real-time
technology will provide ongoing
indicators and root cause analysis
complete with early warning systems
and drill down capability. The
result will be a powerful tool that
predicts future outcomes based on
customer decision dynamics and
salespeople attitudes.
