When sales technologies are optimized, teams note quantifiable improvements in metrics like pipeline, close-rates, and forecast accuracy. So, it makes sense that high-growth companies deploy more sales tools than laggards and achieve a 5 percent improvement in quota attainment as a result.
But implementing the right tools can be tricky.
RevOps leaders tasked with identifying impactful sales and marketing ops solutions must sift through a lot of noise. For instance, 1,200 available solutions across 43 different categories crowd the sales technology market.
The vast array of options makes it harder for leaders to figure out which technologies to go with.
To help, we’ve sourced a few of our favorite tools! Then we checked out customer review sites and case studies to learn what users love best about each of them.
1. CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) platforms help salespeople enhance their daily schedules and prioritize tasks. With a CRM in place, reps are less likely to lose track of customer and prospect follow-ups. CRMs also ensure that information accrued by your sales team is accessible across your entire company in one centralized system. CRMs store customer data and communications. They facilitate tracking and nurturing customer and lead relationships and act as a single source of truth. Pro tip: Before using a CRM, it is best to make sure that the device is optimized (clear the RAM, remove applications that launch at login, etc.). Then your work with CRM will be fast and smooth.
