In a typical commercial or sales environment, the main agenda is meeting the sales target, budget, or projections – as they are appropriate in the organisation.
However, these main agenda represent various components which in themselves are also individualistic objectives but are critical determinants in delivering on the sales agenda.
Some of these include – volume objectives, profit objectives, customer objectives, trade objectives, product objectives, etc. The sum total of all the aforementioned is achieving profitable selling. The challenges that hinder organisation from achieving the sales agenda or the constituent objectives can never be wished away, they either exist by default or as a result of economic activities that are prevalent,
Organisations that understand what to do in addressing these numerous challenges will obviously swim against the tides, deliver the sales, and ultimately the corporate agenda. Part of the understanding is to be able to apply technology in solving some of the daily challenges that threaten the achievement of the objectives.
Technology has come to make our life easier! Deploying mobile, build for purpose and cost-efficient solutions in a sales environment will be the silver bullet in drowning the enemy of business growth, hiding behind these challenges. Having a sales force automation system can help organisations to manage real-time trade activities, the management will be closer to the market, field men will deliver better results, the entire sales process will be shortened to enhance a faster and much more efficient turnaround.
