Abstract : This paper presents a practical framework for transforming sales operations through data-driven strategies within technology-driven enterprises. Focusing on a real-world case study from a Fortune 100 global technology firm, the study illustrates how targeted interventions such as dynamic vendor segmentation, real-time pitch-to-close monitoring, pricing model optimization, and reporting automation can significantly enhance sales efficiency, vendor engagement, and operational scalability. Through the integration of analytics, automation, and strategic execution, the paper highlights how organizations can unlock measurable improvements in conversion rates, compliance, and team productivity. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on modern sales enablement and provide actionable insights for practitioners aiming to scale performance across diverse and distributed business environments in the post-pandemic digital economy.
