Most sales teams are given a CRM thinking that’s the one and only key for success. So, when managers don’t get the results they were expecting, they turn to the sellers.
But here’s the thing…
CRMs are not really made for selling
You need the new generation of Sales Engagement
If you want your CRM to be the brains of your Sales operation, you need your reps to actually use it. So why not make that easier for them with a tool that’s made for their specific needs?
Remember, a CRM is only as good as the data it stores. So, unless you want to end up with a very expensive and dangerously inaccurate database, you need to supercharge it with a software that's tailored to your reps' needs.
With so many out there, you need to look out for the features that will take your team to the next level.
Let’s break it down
It needs to be an ally to the CRM...
An amazing sales software should turn the not very friendly CRM into a tool that’s easy to use and that guides users through every step of the selling process. Plus, it should also have everything reps need under one single platform.
Addictive UX
Contactability tools
Task management

This means more activity and follow ups on leads, opps and accounts that, by the way, should get instantly recorded and synchronized into your CRM, cutting down those time consuming admin tasks that keep reps from actually selling.
Conversational data gathering
Smart alerts
