In this data-driven economy, a Sales or Service Professional’s day is all about numbers. For their organization to be successful, engage more customers, and be ahead of the competition, the Sales and Service Teams set targets and try to achieve or exceed them.
If the long-term goal of an organization is to gain a majority of market share, augment company growth and provide the best customer service, the sales & service reps need to be ultra-efficient and visit as many customers as they can in the shortest amount of time. Even though this goal sounds simple, the sales and service reps are always on a lookout for the right tools that allows them to increase their efficiency and simplifies the execution of the sales strategy.
This is where a complete geo-analytics solution that works seamlessly within CRM comes into the picture!
