Today’s sales professionals spend just 34% of their time selling. 

Sales teams struggle to keep up with data entry, quote generation, and other tasks that take them away from customers.

Increasing productivity means salespeople have more customer-facing time to do what they do best: sell.

You’re probably here because your sales teams are doing their best, but somehow they’re not hitting the numbers you need. 

And that affects your bottom line and team morale, and can even cause burnout.

Maybe you just need to hire more of them?

Instead, the answer lies in tracking and measuring sales productivity so you can empower your teams to achieve more with less.

Surprises can be fun – like birthdays or celebratory milestones – but not when it comes to renewals for your customers.
