Powerful Sales Tools for Mobile Sales Reps

Whether you are a door-to-door salesperson or are working to improve the efficiency of your mobile sales team, today''s host of handheld devices and tablets are leading the way in the realm of buying and selling. With the right tools in the palm of your hand, you can expect powerful results such as reduced paperwork, better time management, an automated and less cumbersome sales process, enhanced customer satisfaction, and increased productivity. The fact is that nowadays you can sell more with mobile solutions. Furthermore, if you or your mobile sales reps are not equipped with the latest digital solutions, you are likely missing out on important sales opportunities.

The sales industry, by nature, is forever "on the go" and on the road. Sales reps are always seeking new customers, following leads, trying to lock in existing customers, looking for ways to stay ahead of the pack, and seal the deal as quickly and efficiently as possible. Virtual tools have significantly increased the success rate of mobile sales reps by streamlining the sales process for both the seller and the prospect and by enhancing the customer experience.

So what are some of the latest and most useful sales tools for sales representatives and how can you use technology to transform your business?

The first thing any savvy salesperson should do is add an iPad to their sales arsenal. Touted as the ''one device no salesperson should be without,'' the iPad has transformed the industry in the post-PC era, giving sales reps the leverage they need on the road and off the road. Armed with the right iPad sales applications customized for your business, you can improve your sales team''s productivity and watch your revenues climb.

In particular, online catalog software on iPad instantly transforms your tablet into an interactive product catalog and online product gallery. The era of lugging around a bulky laptop to showcase your products or carrying a box of fliers, brochures and product samples from city to city are over. Instead, with an iPad in hand, you have access to your entire inventory of products on demand, anywhere and at any time. Not only can you create a state-of the-art sales presentation in a matter of minutes, but the technology allows you to customize the customer experience by demonstrating how your products look in various configurations. With the touch of a few buttons, the customer can select their favorite items, sales reps can place the order over an iPad app, and the deal can be closed on the very first meeting.

Wrnty's sales apps are specifically designed with the mobile sales representative in mind, providing digital solutions which enhance the entire sales process, from lead generation to closure. CRM applications, for example, make sure sales agents have right information at all times, making it easier for sales reps and teams to manage their accounts and improve their game on the road. Document management applications on iPad (which can be integrated with in-house document management applications) have been available for a while. They allow sales reps secure access to sales documents and files anytime and from anywhere, as well the ability to manage, edit, and review content. Microsoft Office is now available on iPad as well, allowing mobile sales reps to create Excel charts and PowerPoint presentations, to access Dropbox files, and to basically perform all MS Office tasks.

With the right sales apps and digital devices in hand, mobile sales reps can forever change the dynamics of how they do business and take their sales to new heights.
