2011 Metrics Special Interest Group (SIG) Report

The Metrics Special Interest Group (Metrics SIG) was formed in 2006 by members of the Customer Reference Forum (CRF) – a community of customer reference professionals representing some of the world's leading corporations (e.g., Oracle, Microsoft, Dell, Infor and many others) – to help companies of all sizes effectively measure, benchmark and communicate the value of reference organizations and assets.

The Metrics SIG has developed a set of performance metrics that measure the effectiveness of customer reference programs, uncover trends in the activities, budgets and resources that support these programs, and highlight future goals and directions of top programs.

Education As A Service

Creating an effective solution selling organization does not come from a book or a classroom… We offer an action learning ™ approach -- a multi-modal (e.g., classroom, web training, hotline support, consultative mentorship) education program that not only teaches the concepts but guides the organization along a maturity path to embrace solution selling best practices.

Customer Evidence

There's no better way to communicate that your solution is delivering its intended business benefits than telling a story of a successful implementation. Satisfied customers are your most valuable marketing assets. Sharing their success stories – how they've used your solutions to boost efficiency, eliminate redundancy, and save money – can help drive sales and close deals, building revenue for your business along the way.

Using both traditional and cutting-edge formats – from solution briefs and case studies to to video testimonials, webcasts, ROI modeling and social media – our expert consultants will help you share your customers' stories in meaningful ways. We'll support your customer relationships, help you set and meet achievable goals, and extend your message through real-world customer voices.
