Forrest Bell believes that due to the demands of the sales industry it can on occasion be easy for those in management roles to become overwhelmed and lose confidence in their performance. To combat this, the firm have shared some of the advice they give their contractors when moving up towards sales leadership.

Issue 1: Not making the best use of time

For sales professionals, getting to a point of sales often involves a lot of back and forth, and incorrect product information or services configuration can slow down the process even further. For sales managers wanting to use time more wisely, integrating specific software into existing processes can help. Software such as Configure Price Quote software can streamline quoting and customer data, shorten the sales cycle, and increase revenue.

Issue 2: Errors and Vulnerability Occur When Manually Inputting Data

Moving data from one document to another can cause errors and lead to certain key bits of information being lost. Losing data can cause uproar among consumers so Forrest Bell recommends using an app with collaborative data migration as this will reduce the chance of errors and ensure all data stays safe.

Issue 3: Lack of Motivation from Workforce

Sales is by no means an easy industry, it can be demanding and tiring and professionals naturally suffer from occasional bouts of lethargy. Unfortunately when motivation slips results also fall, so sales managers must be on the ball when it comes to motivating their workforce. Incentives and competitions can help push professionals to reach their targets. Providing consistent updates and feedback on performance during competitions can also boost drive and increase engagement and excitement.
