Transforming HR Sales: How Aniline Unlocks Deep Cultural Insights to Drive Conversions
If you’ve ever performed a sales role, you understand the importance of high-quality discovery. What are your prospective customer’s pain points, and how could your solutions address them? How can you get their attention in a world of full inboxes, full calendars, and constant competition for attention?
In the world of mass emails, personalization has become a key differentiator for top-notch sellers, but these questions take significant time and research to answer, and objective information is often difficult or impossible to obtain. In the end, it can come down to guesswork. If you do start a conversation, it may take several meetings to uncover your prospect’s current challenges and needs, map your solutions, and tailor your pitch. That means coordinating calendars and establishing rapport to ask the key questions, often over weeks or months.
But what if you could automate needs analysis, solution mapping, and outreach? What if you could identify critical information about a prospect to 1) increase the chances a prospect will notice your outreach, and 2) sharpen your pitch by tailoring the positioning of your products, services, or solutions?
This is where Aniline comes in:
Using Aniline to Uplevel your Sales Enablement Strategies
Benchmarking
Imagine you are selling HR services, and you have several prospective companies you’d like to engage with. You can start by using Aniline’s Benchmark tool to compare a corporate prospect to several of its peer companies, as well as its industry average. The benchmarking tool enables users to select up to 5 companies at a time and visually plot their Aniline scores, generating a visual comparison of how companies are performing in key areas.
Let’s take the example of Twilio, an innovative, mid-size software development company. Here are some insights you can glean at first glance from benchmarking:
Twilio’s relatively low Hiring and Leadership Scores suggest the company would likely benefit from talent acquisition or leadership training solutions. Its relatively low DE&I Score also suggests talent acquisition solutions might support creating a diverse talent pipeline, or management training programs might include an emphasis on DE&I.
Twilio’s high Benefits, Work Life Balance, and Compensation Scores suggest these are strengths for the company, presenting key alignment areas for prospective solutions to build upon.
Next, you can navigate to Twilio’s company scorecard to delve more deeply into these scores. Click on any Perception Score to get a more detailed view of the subtopics that are driving employee sentiment.
For example, clicking on Leadership reveals that one of the company’s biggest challenges is its lack of clear vision, with employees saying things like:“The company doesn’t know where it wants to go” and “There are constantly changing priorities.”
Ask Annie
You can also pull up a chat with Annie, Aniline’s interactive AI Agent, who can provide a more detailed analysis of these areas.
Ask questions like, “what are Twilio’s main HR challenges?” or “are employees satisfied with their current scheduling and time management?”
In this particular case, asking Annie a few questions about Twilio’s leadership vision reveals that investing in leadership development could help the company clarify its long-term vision, in addition to enhancing its change and people management capacity amid its rapid growth. Each of these areas present opportunities for HR solutions, providing key fodder for sales enablement.
Generate a Smart Brief
You can also use Aniline’s recently debuted Smart Briefs tool, which enables users to quickly generate downloadable, in-depth reports on any company in our database, across a variety of topics.
In this case, you might install the Company Culture template and run it on Twilio to get a comprehensive overview of the company’s culture and values, and identify key opportunities to improve leadership sentiment, employee engagement and well-being, work environment, and more. This enables you to quickly uncover relevant pain points in minutes. Here’s an excerpt of the section on leadership from Twilio’s Company Culture report:
