Sales enablement app
Sales enablement is the process of equipping and empowering sales reps with the necessary resources to successfully sell your products or services. This can include anything from product information via a catalogue to demos and presentations to training for team members on how to close more deals.
An app specifically tailored to fit your sales enablement process can make this process much easier for both sales reps and managers. Sales reps can access all the information they need right from their phones or tablets, offline or online, for greater ease while meeting with potential clients. Meanwhile managers can track their progress and performance in real time and pick up on areas for improvement. An app can also help to improve communication between your sales team and marketing team, therefore streamlining the handover from one another.
Apps in general are becoming a much more common tool for all businesses to have at their disposal. With more web and mobile users than ever before shopping online and looking for a quick deal, utilising an app for your internal use and interaction with customers is a must-have.
Sales enablement platform
Sales enablement platforms are tools (often online web apps) that help sales reps to be more effective by creating a solid backbone for the sales process. These tools can store and provide a variety of resources, such as training materials, templates, catalogues, and presentations to make it easier for sales reps to sell their products or services with ease. They can also be used to record important customer information which allows for a more genuine customer-sales relationship, with the customer feeling valued and understood.
As such, these platforms are very beneficial for companies aiming to successfully market and sell their products and services, online and in person. By creating a consistent sales experience across all channels, sales teams can work smoothly with marketing, generate more leads, improve customer satisfaction, and close more sales.
There are a lot of different sales enablement tools on the market, and it can be tough to decide which one(s) to invest in, but there is no doubt about their usefulness and added value to the bottom line.
