3. 7 Reasonssales professionals use i-snapshot
• where they have been
• which customers have been visited
or, perhaps more importantly, not
visited this period
• whether the latest products are
being discussed in every call
• if the right campaigns are being
promoted
• whether the right number of sales
visits are being made
• if the relevant decision makers are
being seen
• how many enquiries or orders
have been generated
• what is the timeline and detail for
quotes.
Even though we say it ourselves, our
data is so good it will stop you in
your tracks.
“I don’t know if my sales people are
in the right place, at the right time,
selling the right products”
You can manage your sales team with minimal effort
1
i-snapshot provides clear, comprehensive visibility of your sales team’s
activity and performance in real time. You’ll see, for example:
“I need my field sales team
to make more quality calls”
2 We’ve proved that i-snapshot can
help increase effective sales activity
You may think that’s a bold claim, however
the i-snapshot system already holds over 12
million sales visit records. This means that
we have an unparalleled insight into the
sales activity of many types of organisations
just like yours and we know that, without
exception, there is a lift in sales activity
when i-snapshot is introduced.
The average lift in activity is 21% -
that’s the equivalent of an extra sales
person in a team of five - and our
clients report that this has a direct
impact on sales revenues.
4. “I need the team to be more efficient in
covering their area”
Segment your sales accounts for precision targeting then
view the different types of customers on a map for productive
journey planning
3
This powerful tool means that you
can also drill down to see how
effectively the team are servicing
their customers - find out who has
been visited (and who hasn’t).
Sales call messages are location
stamped and i-snapshot can plot
on the map when and where they
were created and sent from.
You can also load your
prospect data so that it’s easy for
individuals to view this on the
map too.
“I often wonder if we’re
going to hit target until the
end of the month, then it’s
too late”

i-snapshot delivers concise and powerful
insight into how your sales team is
performing, in real time, every day
Many organisations fail to recognise the true power and
value of seeing their sales performance on a daily basis.
To steer a sales team to achieve targets, a sales director
needs timely, complete and relevant information.
View the i-snapshot dashboards online on your tablet,
laptop or smartphone and you’ll be able to make fast
decisions based on fact rather than guesswork. With
improved insight into sales patterns and pipeline
performance, you can respond to the day-to-day
changes that impact on sales and drive your revenue
goals.
You cannot ‘manage’ the result, you can only
manage the actions and focus of your team.
The key to managing a successful team is;
timely visibility of the relevance and quality of
their actions.

5. “I need to progress from spreadsheets
and paper-based systems so that I can
drill down through sales data in just a few
clicks”5Not a spreadsheet in sight and no piles of paper reports to
read. A quick look at your i-snapshot dashboard is enough
to tell you if you’re on target
i-snapshot takes the unmanageable
volume of information coming in
from your sales team and makes
it manageable and precise. It
removes the complexity of sales
reporting and provides, in real
time, a clear view of sales activity
every day, meaning you are ready
to act and react quickly to trends.
i-snapshot is powerful because it’s
not overly complicated. It is clean,
intuitive and well-designed so you
can view key sales activities, see the
status of an activity immediately,
spot trends and influence
performance drivers.
“My sales team spend
half a day a week doing
their admin when I need
them selling”
6
The details of a sales visit are typically
captured in less than 60 seconds - that’s just 5
minutes per day instead of 5 hours per week
The days of sales people
waiting to get home to
complete their sales reports
are over.
No matter where they are,
i-snapshot is along for the
ride. Your field sales team
can use i-snapshot by the
dedicated, native apps for
iOS, Android, Blackberry
and Windows phones. If
they can send a text then
they can submit a sales visit
report.
Sales people like i-snapshot because it makes their
lives easier. When i-snapshot handles their sales
reporting, they can concentrate on selling because
there’s no more tiresome admin to complete each
day or week.

6. “I don’t want to be left
behind by my competitors”7You can use i-snapshot’s sales performance
app to understand quickly where new sales
opportunities lie and what calling activity
works (as opposed to what doesn’t)
Because you can be sure this is exactly what your
competitors are doing.
Your competitors have a growing appetite for
data and data-driven decisions. Those who
harness these correctly stay ahead of the game.
Whilst the economic outlook remains unclear, winning
enterprises are focusing on sales. Opportunities for
growth persist for companies that proactively seek
them out.
To help you build a picture of competitor activity,
your team can even use the i-snapshot app to take
photographs, tag them and send in with their sales call
data.
Sales management visibility tools provide
interesting insights into the type of sales call
being made. One company we know was able to
identify that not enough visits were being made to
key accounts. With this knowledge it challenged
staff to reprioritise their calls with the result that
calls to key accounts almost tripled over four
months.
