Fulfillment and Post-Sell: F&PS and F&BA
Obtaining an internship in Financial & Business Analysis for this upcoming summer and being in the middle of the onboarding process, fulfillment and post-sell activities align closely with financial and business analysis (at least more than I would’ve thought.
Customer Lifetime Value – Customer lifetime value, is the total revenue a business or customer is anticipated to create during the course of their lifetime as a buyer for the company itself. It’s directly impacted by fulfillment and post-sell activities, as the seller can calculate the profitability of gaining and keeping customers by weighing the expenses related to fulfillment and post-sell activities against the possible income from repeat business.
Profit Margins – Tieing the first two points together and furthering this point, financial analysis of fulfillment and post-sell activities provides insights into profit margins at different stages of the sales process. By identifying spots where costs can be minimized or efficiencies improved, sales professionals can enhance profit margins and overall financial efficiency for their sales process.
Risk Management – The seller can identify and reduce risks that could negatively impact profitability by evaluating the financial consequences of fulfillment and post-sell operations. Organizations can protect their financial health and maintain long-term growth by actively addressing issues like excessive return rates or high support costs.
In short, integrating fulfillment and post-sell activities with financial analysis allows the salesman or company to make informed decisions that drive profitability, customer satisfaction, and sustainable business growth. This is something I will keep in my mind this upcoming summer.
