Typical sales rep pain points and how Salesforce Sales Cloud addresses them:
Pain Points of Sales Representative
Salesforce Sales Cloud’s relevance
Lead submission and allocation automation
When sales receive a new lead, they spend an average of six minutes processing the information and assigning it to the appropriate representative. Initial data entering takes 3 minutes. Since this procedure must be performed for all new prospects, it impacts the productivity and workflow of the sales team.
You can automate this process with Salesforce Sales Cloud, which makes you 50% more productive. With the web-to-lead feature of sales cloud, all incoming leads are automatically combined. This saves a lot of time, which can now be used to improve the sales process.
Improving the process of lead conversion
Without a comprehensive view of the lead, sales teams struggle to nurture them through efficient communication, assign them to the appropriate stage of the sales funnel, and convert them into customers.
Salesforce’s web-to-lead feature enables sales teams to quickly read information about a lead via ‘lead list view’; assign lead scores to prospects to connect with them based on set priorities; obtain information on the total number of incoming leads, the date of generation, and the status; and request follow-ups from sales reps assigned the respective leads via ‘Chatter’.
In addition, you receive visibility into the performance of your Salesforce sales funnel on the dashboard, the ROI of your marketing expenditures, and make data-driven decisions.
Convert more leads into sales and attract more clients.
Without 360-degree visibility into the sales pipeline, it is difficult for sales teams to distinguish between prospects that are close to conversion and those that require additional nurturing. Due to the absence of a platform for analysing competition information, sales representatives are unaware of why customers choose the products/services of their competitors. It ultimately affects their final sales figures and impedes business expansion.
On Salesforce Sales Cloud’s dashboard, you can access every detail about your prospects, leads, and customers. With tools such as ‘My Stuck Opportunities,’ ‘Know Your Competitors,’ and ‘Opportunity Closed Lost Reason,’ sales representatives are able to gain a comprehensive understanding of lead behaviour, follow competition, discover opportunities for growth, and prepare effectively
Reducing sales rep orientation
Most days, sales representatives spend their time managing manual processes, which hinders their productivity and creative development.
By automating manual procedures, Salesforce Sales Cloud increases the productivity of your sales staff. It enables representatives to connect with product/service specialists and counsel with them on how to market solutions and onboard additional clients. Reps may rapidly access all integrated information on a single dashboard to increase their visibility. Reps can check the Open Opportunity and Closed Won Opportunity scores for an account using “roll up summary fields.”
Once a lead is won and the sales funnel stage is moved to “closed won” in Salesforce, its status automatically switches to Customer. Salesforce automatically delivers thank you emails and materials for client onboarding to sponsors.
Convert more leads into sales and attract more clients.
Frequently, sales leaders fail to determine which assets are underutilised and which colleagues can close deals more quickly. This results in greater personnel turnover costs, as expectations are ambiguous and lack direction.
Salesforce Sales Cloud enables sales leaders to monitor rep progress and provide them with real-time guidance on their next steps. It equips new sales hires with the necessary information, establishes reasonable goals, and allows consistent communication through a Chatter group.
