The timing and degree of economic recovery remains increasingly uncertain. The weak market demand, and ample supply from recognized competitors, means fewer qualified sales opportunities. More alarmingly for CSO's, the few opportunities that do exist are delivering smaller sales results.

The criticality of stimulating demand within existing accounts, and creating it within new accounts, has reached unforeseen heights. Compounding this is sales operations budgets being severely reduced in an effort to meet earnings estimates.

Corporate performance places daunting challenges on CSOs and intense scrutiny on the true value of a sales force's abilities.

Sales aids that generate demand, and lock out competitors are vital. Packaging industry insight that is useful and reusable by the sales force is essential. Gaining access to, and the respect of, CXO's to accelerate sales pursuits is a must. And, assisting clients to quickly recognize, and quantify, the value of a set of offering is mandatory.

Quickly addressing these requirements is paramount as CSO's attempt to restore corporate confidence in the abilities of their sales force to meet sales objectives.
