While we’ve been a leader in the sales training realm for decades, the concept of CRM has been around even longer. The first major wave of computer-based CRM hit in July 1993, led by Tom Siebel, who designed the landmark on-premise CRM product, Siebel Systems. Expertise on individual accounts was the name of the game.
He started his software sales career with Siebel System, the first enterprise CRM and from there, Kevin spent 11 years at SAP and due to an acquisition, also spent time with Oracle. What is a CRM? Starting with Siebel Systems, Kevin hasn’t seen much change in CRMs. It still has the same basic model for accounting opportunities.
Jim spent over 30 years in enterprise software sales and sales management, leading high-performance teams at ADR, CA, Siebel Systems, and HP Software with a focus on value selling. Jim Berryhill, DecisionLink Jim Berryhill is the Chief Evangelist & Co-Founder of DecisionLink.
The hottest news in CRM, are for on-demand solutions from companies such as salesforce.com, Right Now and Up Shot (Siebel on-demand). Doing it right can help to improve the management of customer contacts and relationships, sales process and pipeline, management, forecasts and more. But are these on-demand solutions this hype-worthy?
And I think, I think because of what Salesforce did to Siebel, which is like, they just came along and talked about what they were publicly doing, but Siebel. So drawing on the example of, you know, uh, Siebel systems and, uh, Salesforce. She needs to train Piper. There’s always the next startup out there.
