Slack is excellent for improving communication within a company, increasing
productivity, and closing more deals. Unfortunately, many sales representatives are
still reluctant to change their current practices and adopt Slack. By explaining the
benefits of Slack to your sales team, they’ll have no excuse not to start using the
tool.

3. Respond Fast Client Questions
● Even when you prepare for client calls, there’s always a chance that the
client may ask a question you are unable to answer without some
research. Often, another member of your sales team has the information
— but to ask that person, you’ll either need to put your call on hold or send
an email and wait for the response. Neither is ideal and both look
unprofessional.
● A better option is to rely on Slack. Messages reach recipients instantly,
meaning that they can respond immediately. Furthermore, if the
information you need is related to a deal, your can just set up a closer.bot
app in Slack, and simply create or search for the deal

4. TIP: The Closer.bot
makes this much easier.
All you need to do is type
“create” followed by the
deal name and all the
details will appear. This
means virtually no
interruption to your call.

5. Receive CRM Updates
By setting up Slack to receive notifications from your CRM, you’ll be able to take
action as soon as possible to improve the chances of closing a deal. To enhance
this function, use Closer.bot to sort deals by priority and to receive other event-
based updates, like calendar notifications.

6. Push Leads Down the Pipeline
● Slack can also notify you whenever a lead
completes an action on your website that
suggests the user is sales qualified. You can
then send the lead a message to ask if they
want to talk to someone on your sales team to
learn more.
● You can also use Slack to manage the
pipeline for leads that are not quite ready to
convert. When you incorporate Closer.bot,
there’s no need to even update anything
yourself — you can automate all the
necessary tasks.

7. Improve CollaborationBy simplifying
communication, you
improve collaboration. With
Slack, instead of needing
to send an email to notify
team members of a change
to a deal, they will see all
updates automatically.
You can make checking for
changes even quicker by
using Closer.bot — just ask
the chat to find a deal and
it will appear in the
interface.

8. Eliminate Wasted Time
Many of the old methods to manage
deals lead to a huge amount of wasted
time. With Slack, there’s no more
sending emails back and forth. You may
even be able to reduce the amount of
meetings you hold to keep sales
representatives up to date. Using
automated tools Closer.bot in Slack will
save you even more time, as it makes it
much faster to complete tasks.

9. Avoid Silos with Marketing
As everyone in your company can join
Slack, there’s no longer any reason to keep
sales and marketing separate. Besides,
silos lead to problems with communication,
misunderstandings, and mistakes like
missed opportunities. By connecting the
two teams, sales can check out what
marketing is doing, share feedback or
concerns, and ensure that the two
departments are always on the same page.
You can even use Closer.bot to make sure
that information reaches the right channels,
teams, and users.

10. To make the most of Slack, sales teams need automated tools to rationalize
workflow like Closer.bot. All the above are possible when you just use Slack with
Hubspot, but you’ll improve efficiency even further if you add Closer.bot to the mix.
