Gaining access to key players can make or break your ability to win deals and build long lasting relationships. When you are talking to the right people, you will win more deals and build better relationships.

- If Sales Automation is about making sales people more efficient, sales methodology is about making sales people more effective.But Sales Methodology is not delivered in context of their deals, their accounts and their team selling activity. We’ve seen hours, days and some times week of training. It is difficult to remember.Bringing sales people together for long and drawn out sales training workshops is not what sales people want or need. And buyers are getting more sophisticated, therefore sellers need to become more sophisticated too. Another limitation of Methodology is that it is not measurable. (We add Analytics to make it measureable)
- Over the years, our sales people have seen so much in terms of tools, methodologies and sales automation.XLS was (and for some) still is their primary sales automation tool. For many sales managers, XLS is still their default forecasting tool.Then we experienced applications like ACT, Goldmine and other desktop based contact managers.Salesforce.com lead the way to provide organizations with a tool to bring together disparate sales teams with their social, mobile and cloud service.What’s next for sales teams? Sales people expect their sales automation tools to be everything I’ve described but also smart with real time coaching. The evolution of sales has shifted from who you know to find the pain to intelligent insight.We believe intelligent deal coaching is the next wave of sales automation.
- Having the power of visualization enables the sales team to see exactly who they should be spending time with; Who is for them and who is against them. What’s interesting is you have this information in SFDC, it’s all in the contact records but it is very hard to see. Graphically represented, you have an entirely different feeling. When there are sales support people working with you on the opportunity, the clarity becomes exponential. You want to be sure that the team is all on the same page for any upcoming meeting. Using Dealmaker Political Map Express I can quickly see the lay of the land. .
