The shortest route to sales productivity gains in CRM

2010-05-05T21:59:00.000-05:00

Nancy Nardin of Smart Selling Tools has introduced an interesting concept called the 215 Principal. The basis of the principal is that there are only 215 selling days in a year - once you subtract weekends, meetings, travel, sick days, vacation, and other non-selling time.

“If you want to increase sales,” Nardin says, “you need to spend more of those 215 days in front of clients then you currently do today.”

Therefore, the most important thing a Smart Selling Tool can do for a rep, is to eliminate or reduce the amount of time needed for tasks that don’t directly result in revenue.

In fact, just 2 ½ minutes of time saved every day puts a whopping 9 hours of selling time back in their pocket (2 ½ minutes x 215 days = 9 hours). That’s one full day of selling time they didn’t have before.

Nardin says “Many managers mistakenly think in order to implement sales productivity software they need to over-haul their entire sales process - spending massive amounts of time and money. Not true! There are lots of sales productivity tools that cost very little money and have a huge impact on productivity.”

The fastest path to increased sales productivity is to eliminate time suckers she calls the 215 killers. If your reps switch back and forth between Microsoft Outlook and their CRM such as Salesforce.com, Microsoft CRM or SalesLogix in an attempt to keep both synchronized, they’ve experienced one of the biggest 215 killers.

In a recent Smart Selling Tools blog post, Nardin explains the 215 principal in more detail. Find out how much selling time you can gain by using tools like LinkPoint Vue. Read the post here.
