Sales Tracking – the Most Effective Way to Close More Deals

As a company’s lead pool grows, a salesman would notice a segmented pattern of purchase behaviour.

The salesman would notice that a certain percentage make an immediate purchase, a larger segment would opt to wait for a period of time before purchasing and a certain percentage would remain unimpressed by his offer.

As the salesman make notes in his excel sheets, he constantly is following the copy-paste formula of transferring leads across multiple sheets.

When the time comes to begin making follow up calls, his mind is left to wander across confusing notes he hastily took down. His notes are all over the place and he ends up pitching his heart out to prospects who have already told him they were not interested – only because he was unable to tag this lead as a cold one on a primitive software.
