Xerox introduces three new business development offerings

Uxbridge, U.K., October 6th, 2010 - Xerox today announced three new business development offerings for digital graphic communications providers.

 

“All three of Xerox’s new business development offerings are designed and delivered by experienced experts in their field.” said Peter Taylor, director & general manager, Large Enterprise & Graphic Communications, Xerox UK. “These offerings  help customers make the very most of the opportunity that digital printing presents.”

 

The new offerings comprise:

 

Selling Digital  Printing – this workshop scopes out the size of the digital printing opportunity, profiles the characteristics of a successful digital printing salesperson, explains the consultative selling sales process and shows how to create a sales plan and develop a targeted prospect list.

 

Selling Variable Data Printing – this one day training session covers everything needed in order to understand the opportunity, identify prospects, and then sell, develop and implement a variable data printing campaign.

 

Digital Marketing Plan – For a fixed fee, customers can develop a marketing plan together with a Xerox Business Development Consultant.

 

“We used to make a sale from approximately five to seven out of every ten meetings.” said Nikolaj Nielsen, Director of Sales and Marketing, Damgaard-Jensen A/S, a Danish full-service printing company that turned to Xerox for help in developing its sales process. “Because of the training we received from Xerox, our sales team now closes eight to nine deals out of every ten meetings with prospective customers.”

 

Xerox takes a two-pronged business development approach. Xerox's ProfitAccelerator Digital Business Resources collection comprises an extensive range of "do-it-yourself" tools enabling print providers to grow their digital businesses. They are complemented by Xerox Business Development Services - fee-based services focused on sales and marketing, workflow and application development offered through a network of Xerox external consultants.

 

Xerox, in conjunction with InfoTrends, has two free to attend business development webinars coming up shortly; What was hot at Graph Expo? (October 22^nd) and Making cross media work (December 8^th). Further details are available at:
