The Right Tools Help Close the Sale: Must-Have Tech for Salespeople

Today’s salesperson needs a mobile office to succeed in the new, technologically-savvy world of sales. Technology has always played a role in making success, but now it is more important than ever. Salesforce reports high-performing sales teams use almost three times as much technology as under-performing teams and are 800 percent more likely to be heavy tech users than their under-performing peers. If you want to support your sales teams, it means providing them with the technology to wow clients and stay connected with their colleagues wherever they might be. Here’s a look at some of the technology that can help your sales force stay organized, schedule more meetings and close more sales:

Plaxo

Chances are your sales force is utilizing a variety of devices and contact management systems to maintain their personal, professional and social media contacts. Plaxo is an app that gets all this information organized in one place for easy access and usability. Plaxo quickly eliminates and combines duplicate contact information and provides your salespeople with a virtual assistant that is assigned to their account all day, every day. Furthermore, Plaxo provides your sales team with a back up of all their address book information and calendar information on a secure cloud server. For offices with a large sales force, putting everyone on the app means they can share their contacts lists to help them collaborate and create one giant sales directory.

Samsung Galaxy 6

Your salespeople need to be connected wherever they are, and a smartphone is a great device to keep them productive and selling while on the move. With lightning fast 4G and 4G LTE capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy S6 means your sales force has access to their most essential apps and data anytime. Samsung’s Galaxy S6 features a vivid 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED 1440 x 2560 pixel display that enables your sales people to demonstrate product videos in glittering HD quality. Furthermore, it is perfect for quickly processing payments, planning meetings, and scheduling events while on the go. Easier to carry around than a laptop and just as powerful, a reliable smartphone is a must have device for any mobile sales team.

CellulonPicoPro

The CellulonPicoPro is a lightweight and ultra-portable projector that allows your sales staff to break free of the laptop huddle when they want to present information to clients. A laser HD projector puts big screen projector power in the palm of your salesperson’s hand, enabling them to share movies, images and other content from their smartphone, laptop or any HDMI interface. The CellulonPicoPro is a top of the line HD projector with a 1:13 throw ratio that is perfect for the conference room or office. Offering 1920 x 720p resolution in a 16:9 widescreen format, it can even be linked to a laptop to display a video conference call for a group to see without the complicated video rig many conference rooms use. Making each sales person into a walking theater means more sales closed.
