Wow, it’s been a while si
nce either of us blogged, but it’s good to be back. We have taken a bit of a hiatus because Sean and I have both taken on new roles in the last few months.
I want to discuss tools that can help sales professionals be more efficient. In the past I have used a CRM and some have been great and others not as good. I am looking forward to using salesforce.com, which my current company is going to be using in the next few months. I heard some good things about it and I will be sure to blog about it once we get started with it.
For now, I have been organizing myself using an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of some of my calls and it gives me something to look back on to see where I have left off with customers, it will be great to have them stored in one central location.
The tool that excites me the most is http://timedriver.timetrade.com/. I recently discovered this tool and thought if you have a small territory and a great relationship with your clients then you can use this tool quite effectively.
I plan on using this tool as I plan my travels out east. I am in the process of establishing good relationships with some of these clients. Most of them are very easy going, I am looking forward to letting a few of them know, that I am going to be in town for a certain week and I can just email them and let them book their own appointments with me. I love that this is going to automatically populate into my calendar.
The price of this tool is a mere $39/year (I believe). What a steal!! I will also keep you posted on this as I start to use it. Check out the video on this link…I think you too will be impressed. http://timedriver.timetrade.com/learnMore.php
