Top Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Sales Technologies

Drive better sales outcomes through CRM technology investments

In the sales process, optimizing the CRM system matters

Sales technology automates the full scope of the sales value chain, including planning, enablement, execution and optimization. However, all too frequently, sales leaders purchase sales technology on faith, believing that just by installing the technology they will drive better outcomes. In reality, Gartner research shows that just 24% of companies believe that their sales technology implementation is optimized.
