Here\u2019s a list of common obstacles faced by sales agents\u2019 in their daily work:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Planning Daily Route<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Sales agents spend hours navigating unknown areas, finding parking spots and end up having erratic schedules. Customers tend to cancel meetings at the last minute and agents are unable to make changes in their route during such times due to lack of route knowledge. This has a negative effect on their ability to sell and reduces productivity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Missing out on scheduled meetings<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Sales agents have a lot of meetings scheduled each week and while dealing with multiple accounts, chances are that he might miss out on a meeting just because it slipped out of his mind or due to lack of time. This ends up into a lost opportunity for business growth and the agents loses the confidence of the management as well as the customer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Manually searching and entering leads<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n While sales agents are on their route, they might receive inquiries from a potential client or see a prospect and decide to walk-in. They need to remember the details manually and input details in CRM once they reach the office. If they forget the information, it ends up being a lost opportunity. Moreover, keeping track of leads, their address, next meetings etc.is a cumbersome task.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Agent Tracking & Reporting<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Since sales agents are unable to update the top management directly from the field, it is imperative for the management to receive real-time data so that they can analyze agent productivity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All the problems listed above can be resolved by empowering your sales agents with a mobile application.
