Initiatives in Q1 and Q2 will yield results in Q3 and Q4 and set the stage for 20132013 should be the year of transformation where the Mphasis is viewed in the leader quadrant and is invited to large/mega dealsKey parameters to get there are:-- Named account hunting-- Alignment with Top 3-5 3rd party advisors-- Addition of hunters that have contacts in the industry (Rolodex hunters)-- Coverage of additional geographies like West Coast, Mid West, Canada and Latin Americas through additional BDM that focus on those regions-- Deep focus on penetrating newer untapped market segments such as Private Equity, Trading Desks, Hedge Funds, Credit Unions, Exchanges and Product Companies-- Leverage our strengths to the maximum i.e. build a 50+% of pipeline of opportunities through horizontal offerings-- Recruit and retain industry leaders as BDAs. Identify BDAs that align with our strengths in brokerage, asset management and banking industries-- Deeper focus on untapped offerings such New ventures and BPO. Drive sales through assigning quota against each of the towers/offerings-- participating in industry leading events-- top class sales training for the hunting team
We need align our strong offerings to the market segments where we have credibility in. Strong Market presence + Strong Offerings = Greater Success in Pipeline generationThis matrix will also drive decision on campaigns and campaigns based lead generation
