“Truly a sales solution no wholesale distribution business should be without”
How Sales Intelligence will help you avoid the ‘Silo’ effect in your sales operation
It’s too easy for businesses to take the slippery slope to ‘silo’ working – we’ve all seen the scenario, where members of a sales team (or even separate teams within an organisation) all have a direct working relationship with your customer, but each one seems to work in isolation. It’s not helpful when building successful customer relationships nor does it promote efficiency within your business as ‘silo’ working often results in contact with customers without referring to or checking with colleagues for critical updates or information.
It’s a challenge facing many businesses – could it apply to yours?
Why not up the ante? Eliminate the ‘silo’ working environments and connect your teams by introducing Vecta’s Sales Intelligence technology. It really is designed by sales professionals for sales professionals, you could manage all of the above and drive increased sales results at the same time.
Using a combination of award winning powerful sales analytics and CRM you can quickly equip every member of your Management, Sales and Marketing teams with an instant, precise overview of every customer transaction and activity from every angle. Identify at a glance where your marketing promotions are needed and respond immediately; pinpoint where product buying gaps are occurring and alert your team to react.
Have you ever been in the situation where you could see a customers’ turnover reducing but couldn’t isolate how or where it was happening? Vecta is the answer.
Providing that vital central touch point also enables the relevant people from Sales Directors and Managers through to the team taking the calls, to access detailed information relating to buying patterns, customer communications, margins and even emphasises hidden potential link-sell opportunities.
