Each year a multitude of organizations spend huge sums of money trying to find better ways to grow sales. This in itself is a testimony as to how important sales can be to organizations. From a customer’s standpoint, your sales team is their first point of contact with your organization. The extent of brand loyalty and the nature of customer relationships an organization creates all starts with its sales team. As more organizations realise this important truth, they want to equip their sales teams with everything they need to function as strong ambassadors between them and the customers.
This brings us to the question – What exactly are the major problems that curb an organization’s sales game? There are a lot of them! But let’s look into some that have the most unfavourable impact:
A shoddy sales process
Most organizations today complain about this common problem. They either don’t have a sales process or have one that their sales teams don’t follow. A well-defined sales process is like a roadmap that helps sales teams to know if they are heading in the right direction. Without one, it is difficult to understand the sales flow in the organization.
Concentrating on all the wrong activities and prospects
To improve sales, it is imperative to know what sales activities and prospects to focus on. Although there is no such thing as a right and wrong prospect, your sales teams should be in a position to gauge whether a given prospect is worth pursuing. The same applies to the activities. If your sales team spent more time doing paperwork than closing deals, you have a problem!
Inaccurate data and messy storage
Knowing and recording all the details related to a particular lead or deal is by far the most critical part of sales. Inaccurate data or not having the required data at hand when needed can be a huge deal-breaker.
Improper alignment between the sales and marketing teams
This has been an ongoing problem for most organizations even today. Without a proper collaboration between the sales and marketing teams, countless deals are lost in the long run.
All these problems curb your organization’s sales growth to a large extent. Which is why there is a need for a product that is dedicated to strengthening your sales team along with helping them to achieve optimal levels of collaboration with the marketing and support teams.

One of the major problems that many large organizations face is related to users who work on the CRM software. As the number of users increases, the tasks that they handle gets distributed. Some users use the software to only collaborate with other users while some may use it to keep track of lead information and so on.
Not all users in the organization will need the complete functionality of the CRM software to get tasks done. With this intention, we are launching our Mixed Pricing Model. Rather than have the organizations with a significant number of users purchase the product as a bulk, mixed licenses enable them to avail the functionalities they would require and use at a reduced cost.
