Solution Overview

Problem

Current CRM systems lack effective functionality to track and determine successful marketing techniques used by sales associates, as they often keep their methods confidential, and organizations struggle to assess marketing campaign success due to limited interaction data with clients.

Innovation Solution

A software application provides a webpage with UI components for sales entities to configure interactive marketing presentations, allowing them to create segments with rich-media content and track user interactions, which are then stored and rendered on a purchasing entity's browser, with interaction data collected for analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If CRM systems are used to manage client relations, then contact information and interactions can be stored, but effective tracking of each sales associate's marketing techniques and their success is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing technique effectiveness dataVSAvoidsales associate confidentiality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The marketing presentation is divided into multiple segments that can be tracked individually. Each segment represents a discrete unit of marketing content that can be monitored for engagement metrics, allowing the system to track which techniques are effective without requiring sales associates to share their overall strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms by tracking user interactions with each segment of the marketing presentation. This feedback loop provides data on which marketing techniques are successful, enabling the organization to learn from actual performance rather than relying on sales associates to voluntarily share their methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If sales associates keep their marketing techniques confidential to maintain competitive edge, then individual performance is protected, but the organization cannot determine successful techniques to emulate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuccessful marketing techniquesVSAvoidorganization learning capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates digital copies of marketing presentations and their performance data. By capturing and storing the structure, content, and engagement metrics of each presentation, the organization can analyze successful techniques and replicate them across the team without requiring sales associates to manually share their proprietary methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If traditional marketing presentations are used, then sales associates can present to clients, but the organization is unaware of how potential clients respond to the marketing pitch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclient response dataVSAvoidinteraction tracking system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is pre-configured with multiple trackable segments before the marketing presentation begins. Each segment is designed to capture specific client responses and interactions, so that when the presentation is delivered, all response data is automatically collected without requiring additional complexity during the actual client interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Measurement precision

If the organization relies on overall closed deals to assess marketing campaign success, then simple metrics are used, but effective marketing techniques cannot be identified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing success measurementVSAvoidtracking system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The marketing presentation is divided into multiple trackable segments, each of which can be individually measured for effectiveness. This segmentation allows the system to precisely measure which specific parts of the marketing pitch are successful, rather than relying on aggregate closed deal data, while maintaining manageable complexity through modular tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A software application running on a server provides a webpage to an browser of a selling entity. The webpage includes an amount of instructions that renders User Interface (UI) components on the browser. The selling entity uses the UI components to configure an Interactive Marketing Presentation (IMP). The selling entity configures each segment of the IMP to include rich-media content (text, video, audio, and images). Configuration information of the configured IMP is communicated from the webpage to the software application via the network. The software application stores the configuration information in a database. A purchasing entity may then view the interactive marketing presentation by visiting a URL provided by the selling entity that causes the software application to retrieve the configuration information from the database, and to generate and supply a set of instructions that render the IMP using the configuration information onto the browser of the purchasing entity.
