MarketBridge, Telephony Magazine Launch Second Annual Telecom Marketing and Sales Effectiveness Study

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) May 7, 2008 -- To continue exploring how telecommunications executives are responding to market challenges with their sales and marketing strategies, MarketBridge and Telephony Magazine today launch the second annual "Driving Telecom Marketing & Sales Effectiveness" survey. Click on following link to take the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=bCltnpUKA7_2fbRAZ6MU_2bmZw_3d_3d

MarketBridge (www.market-bridge.com) is a marketing and sales professional services company serving the Fortune 500. Telephony Magazine (www.telephonyonline.com) is the leading telecommunications industry publication.

The telecom industry is experiencing continued growth even with the economic slump. A recent Telecommunications Industry Association study found that global revenue totaled $1 trillion in 2007, up 8.3% from the previous year. The U.S. market alone is estimated to grow at an annual average rate of 7.2% from 2008 to 2011. However, this growth is achieved within a highly competitive and evolving market--meaning optimal marketing and sales strategies and tactics are crucial to success.

"This study will allow telecom professionals to gauge their own marketing and sales efforts against their industry peers," explains Carol Wilson, Editor-in-Chief of Telephony Magazine. "In addition, because the survey is annual, data from 'Driving Telecom Marketing & Sales' will provide a clear snapshot of where marketing and sales trends stand in the telecom industry from year to year."

The 2007 survey queried 350 sales and marketing executives across a variety of telecom sectors, asking for insights into strategies for growth, key challenges, sales coverage, compensation issues, and more. The results provide a platform from which sales and marketing executives can measure and plan their own efforts. Key survey findings included:

* Change in Customer Strategies - Executives have shifted toward customer penetration, with increased usage and additional services

* Key Sales and Marketing Challenges - Execution appears to be a sore spot with sales organizations, executives said "Translating strategy into action" was their toughest challenge

* Compensation Conundrum - Companies are increasing pay levels and thus, increasing quotas exponentially

"It will be interesting to see in this second-round of the survey if 'Execution' is still the top challenge for executives," said Tim Furey, CEO MarketBridge. "In working with clients across industries, including telecommunications, we've identified key levers that enable better execution and have driven an increase of more than 20% in marketing and sales effectiveness in most cases. I look forward to again comparing this year's survey results to what we're finding in the field."

The 2008 survey results will be reported in an upcoming issue of Telephony Magazine. A complimentary final report will also be available for survey participants.
