Quotes & Commentary: "This latest release of Pega SFA puts the power to increase sales effectiveness directly in the hands of the sales force. It closes the gap very large sales organizations have traditionally experienced between their sales methodology and their SFA system execution," said Steve Kraus, Senior Director of CRM Product Marketing at Pegasystems. "By more deeply leveraging our Next-Best-Action capabilities Pega SFA delivers functionality that increases a sales person's ability to close deals, giving them real value from the system while delivering sales management maximum visibility to ensure they can achieve their goals." According to recent research from Gartner's Patrick Stakenas, "Elevating the sales experience to include online, social, contact center and face-to-face to a more strategic level will strengthen the buyer-seller relationship across all interactions. The key to success in enabling technologies is to present information on these interactions to the salesperson at the right time, at the right place and with the right content. When sellers are able to do this, they will see improved customer retention, increased upsells and cross-sells as well as more loyal customers."(1) (1) Gartner, Inc., "Predicts 2014: CRM Sales," Patrick Stakenas, November 13, 2013 Supporting Resources: For more information, please visit the Pega SFA homepage For product specifications, please visit the Pega SFA data sheetRSS Feeds for Pegasystems Press Releases, Pegasystems Media Coverage and Pegasystems Events About Pegasystems Pegasystems Build for Change® Platform is the heart of Better Business Software®.
