TechValidate Research on Frost & Sullivan Customer Contact East Events


Case Study: Beckman Coulter, Inc.

Introduction

This case study of Beckman Coulter, Inc. is based on a April 2014 survey of Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Some great ideas were presented. My challenge will be to sell my VP/Sr VP on making the investments we need to make to be better.”

“I was able to see some demos of tools I’d like to have (speech and text analytics for example). I made some contact with some friendly people I will keep in touch with on a professional level to share business ideas. And I got brouchures on some Tier 1 technology products which was important because we will be upgrading our telephone in 2 to 3 years.”

Challenges

  • Finds that traditional trade show and industry events are plagued by the following participant challenges:
    • Presentations that produce too few action items and takeaways because they are too theoretical
    • My Call Center is somewhat unique as we troubleshoot $100K medical analyzers so it’s a lot different than someone handling cell phone billing questions or taking orders for sweaters.Because of this, it’s more difficult for me to apply some of what I learned.
