Sales engagement is evolving
A little over a decade ago, sales teams were still operating in a world of spreadsheets and written notes. Today, customer relationship management (CRM) systems are table stakes. Sales engagement applications (SEA) are doing for sellers what CRM did for their data: if CRM is your system of record, then your sales engagement is your system of action. It’s how top-performing sales teams get more done, faster, smarter.
According to Gartner, “The SEA market is transitioning from systems used by a few business development sellers to systems of action for the entire customer-facing team, prescribing engagement tactics and iterating on messaging.”
At Salesloft, we couldn’t agree more. Our sales engagement platform is purpose-built for the needs of sellers of all motions, with critical sales, managing, and coaching capabilities integrated in a single intelligent platform.
Now more than ever, an integrated sales engagement platform needs to be a top priority. Here’s why:
- Sales productivity is critical to the bottom line
- As budgets shrink, the cost of sales tech keeps going up
- Top talent is harder and harder to find
- Hybrid selling has become the new norm
- It pays to keep sellers happy with the tools they use every day
