According to research over 30% of a sales rep’s time is being devoted to things that can be largely automated nowadays. Does it mean that you no longer need a half of your sales team?
2. STEPS TO GO
What does a salesman do?
As it stems from a Hubspot analysis, wrapped in a 2015 sales teams
productivity report, salespeople spend only ⅓ of their time actually
making sales. Specialists were already pointing back then to a trend
showing diminishing customer need to meet a sales rep directly -
another one of the factors impacting salespeople’s current situation.
3. STEPS TO GO
Many things will be automated
There are still several areas where sales reps can feel safe but one
thing’s for sure - most of them, within the upcoming decade, will face
the fact that their work can be done way faster and more efficiently
by an automaton. As it is the case in discussions on automation in
other lines of work, the key question is:
Will salespeople be fully pushed out by automation, or whether they’ll be
technologically enhanced, so that they’re able to do more work in shorter
time?
4. STEPS TO GO
Specialized sales team is the way
to go
• A salesperson is able to recognize customer needs, adjust the product or
service, and conduct communication in a way, which helps him close deals for
highest possible sums as often as possible.
• The person occupying the pre-sales or the researcher position has a narrow
scope of duties, which helps them focus on performing at the highest level.
• A segmented sales process is cheaper, faster, and more EFFECTIVE when
sales process is divided.
5. STEPS TO GO
Do you want to fire half of your sales
reps already?
STOP! Instead, provide them with automation tools!
By implementing applicable processes you’ll be able to save even
several hours of their precious time a day. They can use this time to
MAKE SALES. They’ll have way more time at their disposal and be
more efficient. What’s in it for you? It’s simple - you’ll be able to boost
your sales.
