Joel Williams’s Summary

A blog technical guru, particularly in setting up, maintaining, managing and promoting Wordpress blogs. My own blog is an environment blog, where I write green product reviews, news and interview people within the eco community.

Also an expert in the field of network planning, geo-statistical modelling and geodemographics, when analysing networks, catchments, store performance and customer characteristics, and using this expertise to interpret and deliver recommendations, supporting and justifying all network-based decisions.

• Actionable Intelligence reporting solution to exploit untapped sales potential, identify underperformance and benchmark sales performance in the network, all with the aim of increasing sales by the prioritisation of key focus areas.
• Web Mapping to enable specialist spatial data to reach a wider audience, and allow sales teams to help identify opportunities to drive sales.
• Utilisation of segmentation models to facilitate peer group benchmarking and optimal product/resource deployment, thus ensuring under performing parts of the network are targeted and human and financial resources are deployed in the most effective way to grow sales and/or cut costs.
