Did you know you can likely increase your revenue just by using the sales technology you already have?

True story. Top performing sales reps use technology 30% more than average performers.

Sales technology adoption is not the same as implementation.

Adoption is changing behavior. It is sellers using technology to execute activities: sending emails, making calls, listening to recordings, updating forecasts, and more.

Let’s face it: no one enjoys change. Sales teams are already strapped for time and implementing new technology can be disruptive if not done right. Still, top revenue organizations focus on driving technology adoption to improve sales performance. That motivates behavior change in sellers.
