Would sales call software make a difference in your sales? Sometimes apps seem more like a convenience than a necessity, but the right sales app can change your game completely. Why? It actually gives you information and protects it like no spreadsheet can.
People only buy auto glass when they have an accident, right? When people need a new window, they call their insurance agent, not the auto glass company. So you face a unique challenge of influencing the referrer, not the buyer. To complicate it, you need to see as many people as possible during a day, maximizing time by location.
So how do you influence an influencer? Build relationships. Get to know local insurance agents. Become friends on Facebook so you know what to talk about (or not talk about). Remember their kids, hobbies, likes/dislikes. Why? You want them to remember you and be the one they recommend.
Benefits of a Sales Tracking App
Sales tracking apps help you do all that (and more!). It keeps you in those face-to-face meetings and minimizes drive time. Plus, it provides you real-time information on your clients while keeping your notes stored securely. Here are the top five ways sales call software improves your business.
1. Keeps Data Accessible
You need a place where you can quickly find your prospects’ data and access it easily. Here, you can see all your notes and data from past visits. CallProof takes this a step further and allows you to generate a map of these clients to optimize your day.
You can log into CallProof and see the 10 insurance agents you want to see that day on a map. Click on the agents you want to visit to optimize the route. Now you know which one to start with and which one to go to next.
When we navigate your stops, we generate an extra 25% increase in the number of people you visit. Any CRM can organize data; the key is organizing your route. Plus, it factors in current traffic issues to save you even more time.
2. IDs Prospects You Haven’t Called
Our system also reminds you to contact the prospects that you haven’t talked to recently. As it tracks your follow-ups, we organize the reminders from oldest entry to newest. This way, your clients hear from you in regular intervals.
3. Gives Up-To-Date Business Info
There’s a high turnover with insurance agents. We integrate with Google Business directory to see the most recent information on each company. With this tool, you can find new agents in the area and know when your old contacts have moved.
A lot of organizations buy leads but the data can be 10+ months old by the time it gets to the sales team. Some organizations we work with even come in using data that they bought years ago. When they start using CallProof, their contact world completely changes because their data is up to date.
4. Tracks Referral Sources
Sometimes it’s hard to know whom to thank for your referrals. And a thank you goes a long way. With CallProof, you can create special numbers for agents to distribute to their clients. Then, when a customer calls, you know who referred them and can give credit where it’s due.
5. Continues Relationships If Your Salesperson Leaves
You’ll have turnover in your organization. So set yourself up to easily fill the shoes of someone who leaves. If you’ve been using a sales tracking app, you know the clients for each of your employees. CallProof keeps track of call history, plays previous conversations, and documents each meeting. Plus, it’s out of the salesperson’s hands. If they decide to leave, good terms or bad, they can’t manipulate or deny access to their data. The manager always maintains access.
Sales call software works. Let it work for you.
