The $2 per Month Solution that will INCREASE SALES PRODUCTIVITY BY 1,682%
Ok ok, so 1,682% might be an exaggeration... ok, it might even be made up! At any rate, I got your attention! ;-)
When I first started contacting offline businesses to offer my services I tracked everything in an Excel spreadsheet. I imagine quite a few of you do the same thing. Tracking via Excel works when you are only calling a small number of leads, but if you are like me, you realized that the list gets quite long pretty quickly. It also makes it very difficult to track when I should follow up on calling. I found my desk quickly cluttered with Post-It notes and became very disorganized.
As a result, I started looking at different Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions. Bar none, the best I found (and what I use daily) is SalesForce (CRM, the cloud, and the social enterprise - salesforce.com).
SalesForce allows you to track all your calls, schedule follow-up calls and appointments, and keep notes of what was discussed during your call. It makes it extremely easy to pick up a conversation from where you left off without having to remember anything. It gets very difficult to remember the specifics of conversations when you are talking to many people throughout the day.
SalesForce is currently running a special on their base product. Contact Manager, for only $2 a month. (Salesforce Pricing & Editions - Sales Cloud - salesforce.com) This is such a small price to pay for organization that I highly recommend all Warriors check this out. I believe the pricing runs through Oct. 31st and then it will go up to $5 a month, which is still a great value for what you get!
I hope this helps some Warriors with their organization. You will not be disappointed with the results, even if it isn't an increase of 1,682%!
