When you automate the friction points that slow down your sales people (such as paper work), they are able to spend more time doing activities that generate business - such as building relationships with prospects and customers. Technology-enabled selling (TES) uses technology to sell through all desired channels. These include resellers and over the Web selling. TES has become a critical component of CRM strategy. These technology-enabled selling applications are part of a larger system that combines business planning, forecasting, and account management. These applications allow business-to-business selling across field sales, inside sales, and external sales channels. Using TES to support all your sales channels, frees up sales representatives to focus on revenue-generating tasks. Online quoting lets agents do most of the initial data entry. Providing alerts about critical renewal opportunities gives sales representatives enough time to negotiate with customers to find the right benefit mix and rate structure. Moving the enrollment process online makes completing group and member applications quicker. This, in turn, lets sales representatives monitor progress in real time. CRM Today reports:
