The smartphone has become an indispensable tool in our daily lives, and this is particularly true for field salespeople. Whether on the road or in the office, they need reliable, efficient tools to manage their busy schedules, stay organized and maintain a high level of productivity. Mobile sales productivity applications, such as GPS devices, business card savers and appointment managers (to name but a few), play a crucial role in achieving these goals.
In this article, we'll explore the best apps available for field salespeople, focusing on those that can really make a difference to their day-to-day work.
Google Maps, Waze and CityMapper are essential applications for any field salesperson.
They enable you to navigate in urban and rural areas alike, finding the shortest route and planning your itinerary efficiently.
But which application should you choose? Well, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Your choice will depend on how you use it.
The advantage is that Sidely connects to it natively. So you can use Sidely to plan your sales tour: the GPS application of your choice will take you to your appointments.
Sidely sets itself apart from other applications by offering a complete, integrated solution for field sales staff. Our application doesn't just provide you with itineraries; it helps you plan your tour optimally, taking into account event history, store and/or department manager availability, journey times and the ideal route to follow.
With Sidely, you can fit as many appointments as possible into your day, without ever compromising the quality of the customer experience. It's the ideal choice for professionals looking for efficiency and performance.
Business cards are a key element of a professional network, but they can quickly accumulate and become difficult to manage. They're lying all over the place, and you can quickly lose them. In short, not ideal.
Fortunately, applications like ABBYY Business Card Reader and Office Lens are here to help you scan and organize your business cards in the blink of an eye. These tools don't just scan business cards; they also let you scan and organize all kinds of documents, making it easier to manage your business information.
And for even more effective collaboration, don't forget cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive, which let you store, share and access your documents wherever you are.
Having a business card is great, but being able to link it to the complete history of your business relationship is even better.
Sidely offers you this possibility, allowing you not only to store your contacts' information, but also to access all your meeting minutes, documents and notes associated with each contact. What's more, during your appointments, you can take voice notes or photos that will be attached to the store visited.
You can also categorize your customers and prospects to better prioritize your actions and ensure complete, precise sales follow-up. You can categorize your data and create dynamic views according to the criteria that matter to you: priority stores, DN at -40%, Next Tour, Sell-out evolution...
With Sidely, you're fully equipped to turn every opportunity into a success.
