Let’s talk about the number 5,200,000,000,000. What do you think it represents?
It’s not the world’s population. It’s not the US national debt, which is higher by the way (a conversation for a different day). And it’s not the number of stars in the Milky Way (there are fewer than that).
The number $5.2 trillion is what IDC predicts the global IT industry will reach in 2020.
So, it’s no wonder that sellers struggle to set your product apart.
That’s where Sales Engagement comes in. These solutions are uniquely positioned to drive organizational success, particularly for teams closing deals through a combination of pipeline generation, account-based strategies, and opportunity management.
With improved transparency in the deal cycle, sellers deliver better buying experiences and close more opportunities with:
- Prioritized execution and focus
- Improved data accuracy
- And streamlined deal and pipeline review
Ultimately, Sales Engagement delivers a better selling experience for Account Executives too, making them happier and more autonomous.
Faster, Better, More Effective
According to G2, “Sales Engagement software streamlines the sales process through integrations with sales communication channels and tools, management of sales messaging and materials, and automation of tasks, messages, and workflows.“
In other words, a quality Sales Engagement solution enables faster processes and speeds deal cycles making it easier for AEs to adopt the strategies you create.
