For Head of Sales
Building a high performance sales team that delivers exceptional value to your clients is your top priority. To do this, you must ensure effective communication and collaboration occur across your entire team of researchers and analysts. We know that this is not an easy task in a fast-paced environment, where information overload is the norm.
First Coverage can help you improve communications and workflows, ensuring you get the most from your best idea producers and alpha generators, and deliver the greatest value to your investment clients. Our ultimate efficiency tool, The Community, combines the features and functionality of an alpha capture system, a media sentiment engine and a meeting management tool, allowing you to:
Maximize Your Team’s Performance
- Break through the clutter that your buy-side clients contend with every day and get your high-conviction ideas noticed
- Cross-pollinate ideas from your entire sales desk to increase activity level and ensure your clients receive the very best recommendations
- Track and assess effectiveness of ideas at the individual, portfolio, sector or industry level
- Compare your internal team’s performance to other sell-side participants of The Community
Expand Your Client Base
- Meet potential new buy-side clients in The Community, who seek new coverage based on idea type, price target, ticker, deciles ranking, returns, sector, industry expertise, etc.
- Protect your intellectual property and control the level of data that you provide to prospective clients
- Connect with new pay-for-performance clients and reveal your identity only when you decide to accept the buy-side’s invitation to provide coverage
Manage Client Meetings to Add Value
- Organize and plan meetings for buy-side clients on the First Coverage platform, and integrate with the calendar function of your e-mail program
- Maintain a complete list of all meetings you've offered, whether they were accepted or declined
- Alert clients instantly when you initiate a new meeting or change one already scheduled
- Demonstrate the value you provide and be rewarded for your recommendations
Understand Media Sentiment
- Leverage sentiment ratings to quickly identify extremely positive or negative media commentary most likely to impact your clients’ holdings
- Understand public opinion, sentiment shifts, and changes in the tone of the media, and leverage these variables to offer your clients a more holistic perspective
- Access breaking news and commentary on your companies of interest to be better informed, generate alpha and avoid surprises by efficiently processing information previously ignored or lost in the noise
When your firm or sales representatives have a truly exceptional year, you could be recognized as a top performer with First Coverage’s “Top Performer Awards.” These rankings are derived from hundreds of thousands of actionable sell-side trade ideas communicated by thousands of sales people at hundreds of firms that participated on the First Coverage alpha capture system and represent the only completely objective evaluation of the sell-side. As such, they are highly regarded by the buy-side as an indicator of who to seek advice from when making investment decisions.
Use First Coverage and understand the true value your team can add to your client’s investment process.
It's time to put your firm and your best performers in the spotlight.
