A system of record holds the most up-to-date and accurate information about all of the Company’s activity. Sales (& Marketing) team operations, pipeline & opportunity data, emails, tasks, notes – all Customer contacts and activity.
So Why Do Sales & Service Teams Push Back?
Your team is overwhelmed by the software they are forced to use at work, they do not believe that these applications add very much value to them in their roles and they will actively go out of their way to avoid having to use them.
In 2022 in the Salesforce ‘State Of Sales’ Report found that 66% of Sales Professionals reported that they are overwhelmed by the number of tools they are forced to use every day and are ‘drowning’ in sales software
In the same report, it was discovered that sales professionals are asked by their companies to use on average 10 software products every day.
This may sound a lot but consider that most sales teams need the CRM, Outlook or similar, Linkedin AND Linkedin Sales Navigator, Slack/Teams/Google Chat, a Contact tool such as Zoom Info or Apollo, Email Marketing software (such as Hubspot), a VOIP product of some sort, Lead generation software, Pipeline management tools like Revenue Grid, Sales Loft , Sharepoint or some sort of CMS, Microsoft Office, now an AI tool & more
In 2022, Forrester discovered that up tp 60% of sales team members have considered leaving their jobs because of the pressure on them to use a companies CRM.
If Three Quarters Of Your Team Is Not Using Their CRM Every Day It Can't Possibly Work For You As A System Of Record.
