Typically business try to address it by end-of-the-day status meetings with the manager and has very poor real-time visibility of issues and challenges. Undoubtedly, there is unbearable, continuous pressure for\u00a0 most of the sales organizations these days, as the sagging economy and lower margins make it harder and harder to fulfill quota and drive revenue.<br \/>\nSales managers have unique responsibility to influence and empower sales reps to greater levels of success, but sales managers are sometimes so busy and distracted that they can not perform their own professional development because they are caught up trying to survive the latest emergency procedure. The three key areas to dramatically increase the positive impact the sales manager can make on the whole sales team are: Alignment, Motivation, and Performance. As my personal interaction with different Sales Managers, I realized that a successful Sale Manager need a set of skills and characteristics in common that are defined\u00a0 below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The key question to ask yourself as a Manager\u00a0 is: Can your business afford to lose enormous amount of leads due to slow response time? If not, what are you doing about it now? Lead Management is the generation of consumer interest or inquiry into products or services of a business. It further describes the process of capturing and generating interest in a service or product in order to develop a sales pipeline. Once you capture a lead, you can upgrade it to a Contact or Customer through different qualifying processes. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relaso.com\/sales-crm\/\">Relaso Sales CRM<\/a><\/em> is an intuitive app that helps you capture a Lead through Phone Call or SMS.

Write a note and send them quotation, setup a meeting &#8211; all while you are on the call. I can bet from my experience that Mobile Sales Rep loves it. Relaso Sales CRM provides you these unique features. The app even works with zero network connectivity.<\/li>\n<li>Opportunity Management based on Sales Pipeline is a process that you can use to effectively manage, organize and track your business.

By using the information about the opportunity values and probability of closure for each sales step, you analyze your pipeline. In brief, Opportunity Management gives you guideline how to improve your sales process and improve your WIN rate.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relaso.com\/sales-crm\/features\/\"><em><strong>Relaso CRM software<\/strong><\/em><\/a> provides you the feature to print Sales Pipeline Report that displays Client name, Pipeline Stages and Dollar amount so that you can do data analytics to enhance your Business. Additionally, Overview report is integrated with the system that gives you an idea about Revenue, Expenses and Outstanding amount during a certain period of time.

All the communication i.e call records, call recordings, notes and emails between your company and the customer are stored in one place. This helps you to give context to all the communications. The Sales CRM app provides you this ability.<\/li>\n<li>On Line Payment and Invoicing CRM are an important part of sales process for many years.

Your salespeople can record their client visit right from the same feature and you, as a Manager, can generate a report by the end of the month or week\u00a0 that shows number of client visit of your every salesperson.<\/li>\n<li>The purpose of a marketing campaign is to reach the right audience and promote the product to them. The better the segmentation of customers, the more successful the campaign will be. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.relaso.com\/sales-crm\/features\/\"><em><strong>Relaso Sales-CRM<\/strong><\/em><\/a> helps segmentation of customers through multi-tagging. It also enables you to conveniently send Bulk SMS and Email campaigns to selected micro segments from the Web Interface.<\/li>\n<li>The key performance indicator for a sales manager is the tone and the topics of your communications with your sales team. Nothing is more important to sales people than knowing what is expected of them and when it is expected. Good sales managers keep their communication very transparent and their expectations well defined, so that team members know what to go for, and understand what will happen if they can achieve it (or not).<\/li>\n<li>Most sales managers\u00a0 communicate regularly with team members about pipeline and forecasting. However, very few of them\u00a0 understand the difference between the two. Forecasting is primarily associated with\u00a0 late stage deals. It does not signify for future quarters. Pipeline is focused on the future development of sales, which is the indicator of later forecasts. Most managers don&#8217;t understand the difference between the two. When you, as a sales manager,\u00a0 discuss about the performance that helps your sales team better understand \u00a0the respective impact on pipeline or forecasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing Mobile (on-the-road) Sales Team is a difficult problem.
