    SEA, The New Normal for CRM

    Before we start our migration journey, Let us understand the new phenomenon SEA, a bit in detail

    At first, let us understand, what is SEA (Sales Engagement Application) is all about?
    Sales engagement applications help sales operations leaders streamline daily digital seller workflow tasks, guide seller decision making with AI/ML and provide a seller-centric user experience for SFA/CRM. Sales engagement applications (SEAs) serve as the primary system of action and user interface for daily B2B seller activities. SEAs optimize seller productivity by combining omnichannel engagement, workflow execution and time-saving artificial intelligence (AI)/automation into a single interface.
    We also need to understand that a CRM is mostly helps streamlining the post sales activities, collections tracking and support related feedback from customers and there is a separate team to handle these activities whereas, a SEA is a platform which helps sales / pre-sales and even post sales teams to engage, nurture and sell more deals with Marketing automation, calls (Voice) related automation and SMS or Email automations. SEA increases the productivity of sales team and provide better control over sales processes.
    You also need to understand what category of Vendors are offering such or related services?
    The market is composed of three vendor categories
    • CRM providers expanding core sales force automation (SFA) capabilities.
    • Providers focused on building exclusively on top of CRM called mega vendors
    • Stand-alone vendors offering bidirectional sync with multiple SFA providers.
    The fourth and the most talked about category is the application service providers specifically for SEA focussed on marketing and day to day engagement event automations. To improve versatility for a wider range of B2B selling roles, SEA vendors continue experimenting with the packaging of their rapidly expanding solution portfolios spanning multiple sales tech categories.
    Since we now know as to what SEA is all about, So let us put Forword the key areas of an SEA you should be aware of
    SEA service providers seek to drive value through the nine core features:

    Workflow Execution

    Provides task management, calendaring capabilities, document workflow, automatic activity logging, immersive browser extensions and dynamic prospect prioritization.

    Multichannel engagement

    Enables sales team to execute tasks in multiple channels from a single interface. Core channels include a voice dialer, emails and social channel messaging. Near-core channels include SMS, video, direct mail, chat, region-specific messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp, WeChat) and digital sales rooms (Video Conferencing).

    AI and automation

    Allows for capturing data, programmable configurations, guided selling and analytics.

    Accelerators

    Enable admins to configure sales engagement applications for the unique needs of different sales roles in their organization. Accelerators include enhancements to multichannel engagement, strategic partnerships and more advanced uses of machine learning.

    Conversation intelligence

    Leverages AI to record, transcribe and analyze sales voice conversations, then generate AI-powered insights, which support daily seller workflows, such as note-taking, deal coaching, guided selling and SFA activity capture.

    Analytics and coaching

    Provides an interface for seller evaluation and coaching based on metrics, engagement effectiveness, activity insights and sales outcomes.

    Integrations

    Foundational integrations include CRM/SFA platform integration, dialer integration (if applicable). Advanced integrations include an API and marketplace of applications for data and channel accelerators, such as account-based platforms, chat, video messaging and direct mail.

    Cadence management

    Enables an organization to curate a library of sales cadences, each consisting of a predicated series of steps and engagement efforts for a given playbook.

    Governance and compliance

    Capabilities to meet internal and external regulatory data privacy policy requirements.

    To summarize, Sales engagement applications (SEAs) streamline how sales teams / leaders orchestrate sales activities and deal workflows at scale. They optimize team’s productivity by combining three key capabilities into a single interface: omnichannel engagement (e.g., email, voice, SMS, video, social media), workflow execution and time-saving AI/automation. Because the technology is a new front end for SFA/CRM, sales personals rely on it to streamline guidance into whom to engage and when, and what messaging to use, while capturing sales activities back into SFA/CRM.
