Increased sales turnover thanks to improved collaboration between sales manager and sales teams with Work&Track Mobile
The deployment of the sales team (sales representatives, account managers, salespeople) is cost-intensive and accordingly efficiency and effectiveness must be achieved. The key to success lies in digitize sales team optimizing the cooperation between the sales manager and the sales team on the one hand and between the office and the sales team on the other. By using a suitable Field Service software, the digitalization helps to recognize the potentials and achieve better results.
The sales manager usually holds weekly meetings with the sales team. He is informed about the status of important sales potential and the planned activities in the coming days and gives tactical hints which should lead to success.
Meetings are often held over the phone, are insufficiently prepared and many activities remain undiscussed. Experience has shown that the CRM system is not used because it is simply impractical from the salesperson’s point of view.
The sales manager is therefore unable to see things clearly. However, he wants to be constantly informed about what his sales team is doing at a certain moment, how much time is effectively spent with the customer, what were the concrete results of a visit.
In today’s world, it is more important than ever to make quick decisions and jointly generate more turnover.
Even the office staff, customer service and the call center are groping in the dark. When a customer calls, it is often unclear where the sales representatives are now and whether they could, for example, make an appointment with the customer on the same day.
The customer service department lacks an overview and the possibility to schedule an appointment for the sales team. The Outlook appointment management reaches its limits. Many unnecessary telephone calls for coordination are necessary, which causes costs and destroys many opportunities.
