Revenue is driven by the results delivered through your sales teams. If your teams are flagging in their sales performance, the blame shouldn’t be placed on them nine times out of ten. Your sales reps’ ability can be incredibly constrained if they aren’t provided with the training, tools, or strategies that allow them to take advantage of their strengths and skillsets. Their numbers suffer when they can’t operate at peak efficiency. If you want to improve sales team performance, you should look at your sales enablement strategies.
Take steps to identify the root causes of your underwhelming sales numbers. Is the support being given to your sales department sufficient to streamline, optimize, and elevate the sales cycle? Are your sales reps provided with full access to your CRM? Can they freely take advantage of your content catalog? What is the condition of their communication and collaboration channels? As companies grow, their infrastructure naturally splinters across multiple collaboration platforms and third-party applications, making it increasingly harder to form a cohesive workflow where your teams can operate in sync. HeyBuddy makes things easy, providing a single intuitive platform where your company’s assets can be centralized for access and sales enablement.
Putting the Priority on Collaboration
Even as technologies have evolved to improve workplace efficiency and productivity, the lack of unified strategy and the fragmentation of available tools will impede collaboration and communication. Sales teams work best when your representatives aren’t removed from key collaboration centers. Obviously, no company actively attempts to segregate their sales teams from staying in contact with each other, but it’s an environment that can occur unintentionally depending on the sales strategies and vertical solutions you use.
Eliminating collaboration barriers should be at the top of your list for evolving workplace productivity. Some strategies to consult and adopt include:
- Develop a collaboration strategy
- Adopt and optimize vertical collaboration tools
- Onboard team members with a unified focus
- Continually monitor and improve workflows
Accelerating sales cycles shouldn’t automatically mean that your sales reps should then be awarded more work for their efforts. Successfully converting leads and prospects into clients depends on a sales team that isn’t punished for success. By streamlining your work processes through sales enablement strategies and the integration of vertical solutions, your final aim should be reducing the overall workload on your sales reps in favor of allowing more time to focus on business-critical projects.
Where HeyBuddy Fits In
HeyBuddy isn’t necessarily designed to do it all – we weren’t interested in creating a productivity app intended to cover every aspect of your organization. What it can do, however, is relatively versatile. With a customizable interface that starts as a blank slate, our sales enablement app can be fitted to approach any industry and any sales environment for personalization and easy integration.
We put the work where it needs to be. Every tool your sales reps need to thrive can be combined into a single interface. That means built-in communication and collaboration channels, CRM synchronization, offline capabilities, AI-driven search engine algorithms, dedicated messaging systems, third-party app merging, etc.
The result is a drastically simplified sales approach. You can improve your sales team’s performance by not forcing them to jump between a dozen apps to get the data, insights, and sales collateral they need.
