Interview Christophe Trémoulinas (CEO Roadoo, Incentive Application)

What are the prerequisites for the adoption of a collaborative platform?

Knowing that our targets are commercial communities, we must above all, that the collaborative platform facilitates access to data in order to:

1. Allow sellers to consult their Indicators and Results,
2. Give managers the means to share relevant information such as podiums, progressions, expertise... in order to help them lead brilliantly,
3. Communicate in the best possible way about the rewards that the winners of your commercial challenges will win.

‍

From which commitment can we consider that the Adoption is successful?

We get an average rate of 85%. It is also becoming interesting to identify who the categories of users to adopt your remote management. At Roadoo, we categorize influencers, Engagements, Followers, and Sleepers.

What type of remote management is recommended to lead on a collaborative platform and get business challenges off the ground?

The Management Delegative for your Influencers who are generally motivated and competent. Trust them, valuable allies to relay your goals. Encourage their initiatives. Lean on them first and foremost to share the latest news. Give them some error. They bring the community behind them and therefore have an impact on ROI.

The Management Participative for Committed People who are very active but take fewer or few initiatives. Try to involve them as much as possible, encourage them as often as possible.

The Management Persuasive for Followers who do not dare to put themselves forward but observe. The reasons? An inexperience that can slow down, a lack of self-confidence or motivation. This part of your community called “soft belly” particularly deserves your attention. Train, explore, take time to make it progress. The multiplier coefficient for your challenge is certainly there.

The Management Directive for Sleepers for whom you must react quickly by prioritizing a one-on-one appointment and a debriefing that will help you understand the reasons for the dropout.

What are the qualities of the Manager to animate remotely effectively on a collaborative Platform?

To get the Commitment of his sales community off the ground and transform his Commercial Challenge into a Success Story, the manager must:
- Be Empathic
- Know how to share information that will help to progress,
- Know how to congratulate and give recognition to your collaborators,
- Be endowed with a team spirit,
- Be respectful of privacy, no communication on the weekend for example,
- Be an Exemplary Leader by showing the way through your communications and actions.
