With the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we are certainly finding ourselves in challenging times. This pandemic is changing the world of business, with companies having to close their physical offices and move to remote work—as we’re doing here at ConnectLeader—or in the case of retail businesses, close their doors until the situation improves.
The situation will improve and we’re going to get through this. But in order to do so, you’re going to have to keep your sales team on track making sales calls to keep your business going. We are in the same boat with you as we work from home and cope with this new environment.
ConnectLeader can potentially give you the ammunition you need right now to have the conversations you want to make sales or get those warm leads by setting up appointments with the people you talk to so you can get your business back to normal when we get out of this, and we will get out of this.
Top ChallengesFor sales managers, VPs of Sales and Marketing, and Chief Revenue Officers (CROs), among others, a situation like this can bring about even further challenges as you’re still tasked with generating revenue, but the plans you had for sales have changed:
Plus, your sales team of Inside Sales Representatives (ISRs), Sales Development Reps (SDRs), and Business Development Reps (BDRs) may now be all working from home, with some doing so for the first time ever, which leads you to be worried about their productivity and how to keep training and coaching them.
How We Can Help
We don’t know what’s going to happen in the next 10 months… or even the next 10 hours. But we do know that things ARE going to improve and what you’re doing now matters for the next month, the next three months, and the next year. In order to keep your business running, and be ready to hit the ground running when we’re back to normal (hopefully sooner rather than later), you need to keep working and doing sales outreach now for a lasting strategy.
You’ve probably been told that you need to innovate and do more with less. We understand the pressure that’s been placed on you to find a new way to do things. Sales is a numbers game, and our tools are important to potentially help you keep your numbers where they want to be, or exceed them, even in uncertain times. We offer a complete suite of multi-channel sales engagement software technologies (B2B sales dialers of Click Dialer, Personal Dialer, and Team Dialer that all offer Remote Coach, and sales cadence software among others) to help you reach out and keep your productivity—and that of your sales team—going.
