“Sales and customer intelligence is at the heart of winning and retaining business,” comments Luke Chapman, managing director of the BP Group and former sales director at Integra, where he was responsible for introducing sales-i to member companies. “Accurate decisions can only be made if you are looking at the full picture armed with all the trends and variances. sales-i delivers that complete sales and customer buying intelligence intuitively and across a number of devices, i.e. laptops and mobile phones.” Luke continues, “Delivered simply, without any need for hardware or infrastructure to support it, and charged on a monthly fee, makes sales-i a must-have for sales focused organisations like our BP Group customers.”

Luke witnessed first hand the impact that sales-i had on his former Integra customers and is keen to offer that same sales advantage to his BP Group clients, “These are tough trading times and many independent dealers need to look closely at sales and margins and the opportunities within their business, to build on their future success. I am confident that a combination of our consultative business services at BP Group coupled with a visible sales and customer intelligence solution from sales-i will deliver a compelling return on investment for dealers of all sizes, now in the future.”
