Web Based Sales Management Software
Is your business ready for a web based sales management software?
You may believe that you already have web based sales management software working for you. Do your sales people use Outlook to store customer and prospect information? Or, maybe some sales people use Outlook, some use their iPhones or other smartphones and then you have all paying customers in your accounting system. If that’s close to reality for your business, then you may have web based sales management software but, you don’t have a solution.
What are the Challenges?
To really solve important challenges for your business, your web based sales management software has to be centralized so that there is one comprehensive system with all prospect and customer info available quickly. Sure, when the big event of the year comes around, if you get started early enough, you can badger the sales team to send you excel files with their contacts and then have your administrative assistant merge those files with an export of customers from your accounting software and then manually remove duplicates. All of that’s required just to be able to send invitations to your booth at the event. But, the amount of effort involved dictates that you won’t be doing that more often during the year. And what happens when a valuable new prospect calls to discuss a proposal but, their sales person is traveling? Without centralized web based sales management software, no one in the main office will have the information needed to help that prospect. Organizing prospect and customer information in web based sales management software is important. Each individual sales person within your organization can be more effective and more productive by using web based sales management software to organize their information. However, if no one else in the organization has access to that information, then there are still some big limitations on your ability to serve customers and respond to opportunities.
What are the Advantages?
However, another key advantage of centralized web based sales management software accessible by everyone on your team is that it gives the business control over the relationship. If your sales person has your customer information stored on their own computer and then you fire them or they choose to leave to work for your customer, you can be they’ll be leaving with a copy of your customer information.
