DuluxGroup Adopts AI-powered Sales Assistant
17 July 2017
DuluxGroup has become the latest brand to sign on with artificial intelligence sales optimisation vendor, Complexica, in a bid to automate processes for sales staff and provide a more personalised customer experience.
The deployment of Complexica's Customer Opportunity Profiler (COP) system for the brand's trade paints, texture coatings, and protective coatings businesses, is about reducing non-selling time of sales staff, personalise customer interactions and conversations, and automate the manual research undertaken by sales staff. According to DuluxGroup, customer research and analysis across the brand's offerings was a well-recognised problem meant most sales teams lacked the time and analytical skills to execute, often leading to the under- or over-servicing of accounts, lost opportunities, and poor allocation of resources and time.
DuluxGroup Signs Contract with Complexica for Artificial Intelligence Software to Optimise Sales
28 June 2017
Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for optimising sales and marketing activities, announced today that it has signed a contract with DuluxGroup for the deployment of a next-generation Customer Opportunity Profiler (COP) system, powered by Larry, the Digital Analyst®. DuluxGroup will deploy the software within its trade paints, texture coatings, and protective coatings businesses to reduce the non-selling time of sales staff, personalise customer interactions and conversations, and automate the manual research undertaken by sales staff.
“After an evaluation process and successful proof-of-concept in 2016, we have chosen to partner with Complexica to upgrade the technological capability of our in-field sales force,” said Stephen Mooney, Group Sales Capability Manager for DuluxGroup. “The next-generation Customer Opportunity Profiler provided by Complexica will serve as a key tool for sales staff to optimise their daily activities, personalise conversations and interactions with customers, and analyse data to generate actionable insights.”
Complexica's CEO, Matthew Michalewicz, joins Marty Switzer on Sky News to dispel some common myths about the rise of Artificial Intelligence, and explain why jobs are not in danger, yet.
Businesses that sell a large range of products to a large range of customers are burdened by an analytical challenge that drags down their yield on sales resources. The challenge, simply put, is to help each sales rep answer the following two questions:
- “Who should I call on this week?” (i.e. where are the opportunities or potential problems?)
- “What personalised messages/insights should I deliver in each call?”
At present, most sales reps answer these questions by accessing various systems and databases, where they shift through endless customer data, survey information, and transactional data, looking for opportunities or alarming trends (such as down trends). They manually identify the customers that should be visited, add those customers to their call plan, optimise the plan for the best logistical sequence, and then Google the customer before finally making the visit. What’s interesting about this process is that it has nothing to do with sales. This is an analytical task. It prepares the sales rep for the sales visit, and although it's important to be prepared, the task itself is not a sales task.

Pfizer Australia Adopts AI-Powered Digital Analyst for Sales and Marketing Decision Making
3 May 2017
Pfizer Australia is rolling out artificial intelligence-based digital analyst tools from Complexica in a bid to improve the pharmaceutical company’s data-driven sales and marketing decision making.
Based on its digital analyst engine, dubbed Larry, Complexica’s What-if Simulator allows Pfizer to test and optimise a range of scenarios based on internal and external data sets. In a statement, the company said it plans to use the software to simulate the impact of sales and marketing strategies, investigate assumptions and hypothesis difficult to test in the real world, and compare the outcome of various what-if scenarios in order to understand what’s contributing to business results.
Pfizer said the software will also help to understand deterministic and non-deterministic factors presented in its business operations, as well as see how variables within different questions impact one another. Pfizer brand manager, Andrew Endicott, said the group evaluated a number of predictive and optimisation offering before opting for Complexica.

“After evaluating a number of software systems available in the marketplace, we have ultimately selected Complexica as our vendor of choice for sales force automation and CRM,” said Nick Carr, CEO of Haircare Australia. “Given the large SKU range we carry and very long tail of customers we serve, Complexica’s applications are best suited to deal with this inherent complexity without burdening our staff with endless data entry. We look forward to deploying Complexica’s software applications to help our staff focus on what they do best – providing maximum value and service to our customers.”
Artificial Intelligence Enabling Sales Effectiveness
6 April 2017
While many in sales fumble around with automated blasting and spamming, some of the best minds in the world are quietly revolutionizing sales forever. Make no mistake, all professions are facing the great disruption of the machine age as the bots steadily take over the trickiest of surgeries and medical procedures, legal research and precedent analysis, driving in the most hazardous of roads and mines, navigating and piloting the airways, automating banking and accounting, making the most complex decisions for marketing and advertising within markets. Relationships alone cannot save your sales career. You'll need technology if you are to achieve the level of efficiency and effective needed to thrive.
