| What is Business Intelligence |
"Business Intelligence is the art of gaining business
advantage from data". Business Intelligence is used to
answer queries like:
Who are my best and worst customers (and therefore, where should
I concentrate my future sales efforts)
What parameters affect my sales (Is there a brilliant sales
person? Has a campaign been successful?)
What advantages does my business offer customers, as compared
with the competition?
Where are we making/losing money (in terms of geography, product
line, campaigns, etc') |

| Abstract: A sales manager once told me her secret to customer service. To prepare for a meeting she always did research on where a prospect went to college. In Texas, which was her territory, whether the client or prospect in question was a graduate of the University of Texas or Texas A & M dictated how she prepared for the meeting. She even had two separate teams to bring to the client or prospect. |
