Mobile Transformer Qualifications

We all want to transform our lives, our jobs, the companies we work. Early adopters forge the way for others and in turn make a name for themselves. The opportunity for transformation is even more relevant in new markets and with emerging technology; such as enterprise mobility.  Companies are struggling to figure what mobility means for their organization.  In leading organizations, there is single person who becomes the driver: the mobile transformer.

What Is a Mobile Transformer?

A mobile transformer is many things, but most importantly they see the transformative abilities that mobility can enable for core business functions such as sales. Transformational sales enablement means embracing the rapid innovation of mobility and elevating the sales function to achieve unprecedented results. A mobile transformer embodies three qualities that push them over the edge into the realm of success.

Anatomy of a Mobile Transformer

1. A Passion For Mobility

A key trait of a mobile transformer is to have a passion for mobility. They realize that mobility has a lot of potential and can bring great success to their business. Organizations are already using mobile platforms for communication, content-management and smarter selling and are well aware that mobility is the next frontier. A mobile transformer uses their passion to forge the way for their organization to achieve big audacious goals: a paperless sales organization, a sell-anywhere culture and a renewed confidence in sales-ready content.

2. A Focus On Finding Solutions, Not Making Excuses

While some employees and organizations are making excuses for not moving forward towards mobile-first thinking, this is the mobile transformer’s chance to overcome this barrier to success and drive  a paradigm shift. If an organization is smart, they already have a management strategy that is going to drive innovation. Mobile technology move lightening fast and facilitates innovation by scaling at a matched speed . Mobile transformers are pushing themselves to the front of the line and are proving they are not going to let mobility outpace them.  Not making excuses and pushing themselves to find a solution to the organization’s challenges demonstrates they are committed and are willing to do their part to ensure the organization’s success.

3. Make a true Impact by Solving Core Business Challenges 

Keep in mind that finding viable technology solutions is only half the battle; the other half is being able to execute said solutions while achieving measurable results. While the concept of a solutions can make the all the difference to an organizations, the solution will only be beneficial if it can be put into effect. Implementing best practices that evolve archaic business process, drive adoption and allow for a rapid roll out (go-to market) are elements that can make a break a mobile transformers success.

Knowing the you need to “do something mobile” and shooting in the dark to simply check the box, is not how a mobile transformer thinks. A mobile transformer knows that the main success factor lies in finding the right technology partner whose core expertise lies in providing solutions that are built on an enterprise-class platform, deployed as a mobile-apps-as-a-service and augmented with elevated professional service offerings such as: a customized UI, relevant-interactive content and tied together with built in analytics.
