1 The Sirius Directions in Services Model The Sirius Directions in Services Model groups sales, marketing and product service providers and agencies into five categories: strategy, reputation, demand, sales and operations The model highlights the service providers and agencies that support strategic corporate initiatives for sales, marketing and product management As the market changes, the model will accommodate new and emerging service providers and consolidate those that become obsolete As modern life has become more connected and fast-paced, entrepreneurs have emerged to provide services that assist individuals with virtually anything, including making home repairs, mowing lawns, walking dogs, shopping for groceries and even paying bills. There are even service providers to help people select other service providers. Marketing, sales and product organizations responsibilities also have grown exponentially, often without an increase in headcount. These organizations can benefit by using service providers or agencies that act as strategic partners providing needed capabilities and skills. In this brief, we present the Sirius Directions in Services Model, its five broad service categories, and the individual types of services in each category that are available to marketing, sales and product organizations. Using the Model The Sirius Directions in Services Model categorizes providers to help marketing, sales and product leaders understand what functions and capabilities can be outsourced. The model segments b-to-b service providers into five broad categories strategy, reputation, demand, sales and operations and 32 specific types of b-to-b services. Subsequent research will offer comparative analyses of the providers in each of these areas. Note that some service providers (e.g. digital interactive marketing agencies) offer a breadth of services that include customer experience, creative, Web design and demand creation. This model takes a separate look at each of these capabilities. B-to-b organizations must carefully consider which capabilities, functions and processes they wish to maintain in-house vs. using a service provider. In some cases, services may be highly commoditized and performed more cost-effectively through a service provider. In other cases, service providers may provide unique capabilities that offer a strategic advantage. Additionally, capabilities that a business is struggling to maintain or has yet to develop and needs quickly can be candidates for outsourcing. Category One: Strategy The development and execution of strategic direction are the most critical responsibility of marketing, sales and product organizations; finding the right service provider to help create vision and bring it to life can provide SiriusDecisions.

2 significant competitive advantage. Services in this category include: Strategy development. Service providers that give sales, marketing and/or product advice, research, data and guidance around key operations and execution areas. Additionally, they may design and deliver strategic plans, organizational designs and process workflows. Customer experience.

3 providers in this category help organizations manage all activities linked to their reputations. Brief descriptions of services in the reputation category include: Influencer relations.

Service providers that either directly employ or provide access to copywriters or freelance writers with the purpose of creating, revising or editing content. Category Three: Demand Demand creation teams responsibilities have burgeoned along with the variety of tools, techniques and data that help drive demand, identify buyers and deliver appropriate content. As a result, the process of managing and coordinating demand creation activities across multiple geographies, target segments and personas has become increasingly complex. Brief descriptions of service providers in the demand category include: Media planning/buying.

This type of service includes content syndication, promotion and events, and can support organizations with either direct or indirect sales models. Web design.

These providers also can act as integrators for third-party tools used to enhance the buyer experience, conduct A/B testing and dynamically deliver content. Search.

Focus areas include territory planning, account planning, opportunity management, core selling skills, messaging/presentation skills, deal strategy and negotiation training. Sales talent assessment. Service providers that help organizations reach consensus on which sales competencies (e.g. skills, knowledge and behaviors) should be assessed during the hiring process.

Sales enablement. Service providers that specialize in sales enablement strategy development. These agencies define requirements, create messaging, provide assets (e.g. playbooks) and tools, and deliver mechanisms to sales teams that match the various stages of the sales journey.

The Sirius Decision Organizations should evaluate their core processes, capabilities, skills and resources and use these as inputs to decide when (or if) they should engage a service provider. In some cases, building skills, processes and capabilities in-house provides a competitive advantage. In other cases, the use of service providers can increase process efficiencies, reduce costs, augment existing capabilities or provide capabilities and capacity that the organization doesn t have. There is no right or wrong answer organizations must find a balance between the use of service providers and in-house resources to maximize business results and execute marketing, sales and product plans.
