Almost every company has salespeople in some kind of form.
Take a quick look at LinkedIn, and youâll find a whole plethora of titles. Everything from Account Executive to Business Developer.
A rose by any other name, as they say.
Whether your business card reads Key Account Manager or Sales Executive, your needs are probably the same:
A smooth communication platform for incoming and outgoing calls.
Giving sales people the right tools
To succeed in sales, you need the right tools for your day-to-day activities. All in order to minimize the excuses for why the deals arenât piling up.
The bare minimum (though thatâs not enough) is a mobile subscription. Obviously, you need to be reachable and able to contact potential clients.
Sales oâclock?
Not yet.
Equipping salespeople with just a mobile phone? Thatâs kinda foolish. To make the most out of your working hours, you need more stuff in your toolbox.
Whatâs needed are the right digital tools to meet todayâs hybrid world.
You should be able to:
- Make calls via click-to-call, meaning clicking on numbers on websites, in CRM systems, or wherever else you might find numbers
- See whoâs calling you, even if you havenât saved the number
- Schedule video meetings with your prospects
- Record your calls, both for training purposes and to revisit what you promised a customer
- Collaborate on bigger projects with both internal and external participants.
- Easily measure your calls to track your goals.
- Choose devices so you can harness the same power whether youâre at the computer or on your mobile
Ready to sell?
Almost there.
The last thing you need to succeed in sales is, of course, a good leader. Choose them carefully because no one wants to deal with a lousy boss.
Time to sell?
Itâs selling time!
The right tools for a sales manager
In order for a company to succeed, salespeople need to succeed. And for the salespeople to succeed, the sales manager needs to do it!
As a sales manager, you steer the ship. You support, assist, and coach the team â when youâre not playing padel, of course.
Just like the salespeople, you need a bunch of cool features to make your day easier.
As a sales manager, you should be able to:
- Listen to salespeopleâs calls for training and evaluation
- Share calls with comments, for constructive feedback or encouragement
- Save calls for the future
- View stats on all the salespeople, so you can easily see whoâs performing and whoâs not
- Quickly create a new user when hiring
- Collaborate with salespeople in chat channels, so youâre there for quick questions and to send funny GIFs.
- Do all of the above, no matter the device or location
