As technology advances and consumers become more empowered, their expectations are evolving rapidly. This necessitates the real-time collection of consumer data, particularly at the retail level. Additionally, achieving success in any business hinges on anticipating consumer trends and promptly making well-informed decisions to adapt to the constantly shifting demands of the market.
With these evolving consumer trends, It is important for any business in Kenya to ask themselves this important question: What is the optimal utilization of sales teams’ time?
If your response deviates from “engaging in active sales activities,” then you may need to reassess your approach. Surprisingly, many teams do not prioritise selling as their main focus. According to several studies, sales representatives dedicate merely around one-third of their day to actual selling. A substantial portion, 21%, is allocated to emails and Whatsapp conversations, while 17% is consumed by data entry tasks. Internal meetings and calls each absorb 12% of their time.
That means it’s really important that your sales reps’ days are optimized for efficiency and focused more to selling. To ensure that sales teams actually have time to sell we need to give them the right sales automation tool. This tool should provide information at their fingertips while on the go, online or offline. This is Exactly what Sales Force Automation Kenya seeks to do.
