Opportunity

Provide personal attention when human contact isn’t possible

This retirement services provider  had built its service model, and reputation, on personal attention: In a world of automation and offshoring, the provider’s representatives still get in their cars and drive to their clients’ locations for one-on-one meetings with plan sponsors and participants, who count on having a familiar, friendly face to answer their questions.

So, the advent of the pandemic and associated lockdowns threatened to have a significant impact on how the company did business.

Solution

Digital materials to maximize effectiveness

We worked with the provider to develop an assortment of materials designed for use in virtual meetings, providing the sales team the next best thing to being in the same room with clients, even when hundreds of miles away.

Video tutorials showing salespeople—accustomed to booklets and brochures—how to find the right digital materials and use them effectively.

Impact

An enterprise sales enablement system

The bespoke sales enablement system—LiveBase—helped ensure salespeople always have the right materials available at the right moment in the sales cycle. Much more than a static database, LiveBase is a solution that guides salespeople and facilitates sharing of best practices, empowering the entire team to work smarter by doing more of what’s successful. Additionally, LiveBase is integrated with Mutual of America’s enterprise CRM solution, helping ensure a unified, holistic customer view.

When face-to-face meetings were no longer possible, we reimagined how to deliver the same level of personal connection, at scale. LiveBase gave this provider the tools to stay close, even from afar.
