Sales people are competitive by nature but data entry makes selling monotonous. Sales reps end up working mostly offline and wait for the routine report to feed that ambitious spirit.
A CRM isn't just a sales lodger or an exaggerated notebook; a CRM can be intuitive—as long as you feed it sufficient knowledge. Leaving data entry for the end of the month leads to skipping out on details such as a meeting or call timings. Zoho CRM could've used this data to calculate your average sales cycle or the best time to contact a certain customer. This challenge of CRM adoption is faced by many companies leaving them with inaccurate dates, inconclusive reports and a lot of information that can be used to improve your sales performance.
But how do you induce CRM adoption in a healthy way?
Enter Motivator for Zoho CRM.
