What is client portfolio optimization?

Client portfolio optimization is a process dedicated to evaluation of the importance of a particular client to the vendor of products or services. By tracking the consumption dynamics of a client, any sales manager will easily track its contribution to the overall sales as well as its importance within the entire clients’ portfolio. This way, an optimization process of a clients` portfolio will be more efficient by relying on in depth data-driven insights. Volume and special discounts, promotional conditions, etc. will be determined and applied with increased efficiency.

Why you need it?

It is not an easy task because it is not just about the overall quantities of ordered stock or services but also the consumption dynamics. On top of this, any sales manager should have access to an easy evaluation process where a particular client is ranked by the rest of the batch. You will get analytical insights on how your clients are performing and a clear view on which of them form the backbone of the business and which ones are with minimal significance.
