Episode 1: Sales reps are more efficient, thanks to sales ops.
Your team might not be selling steel buildings. But you can probably relate to Sean Andrews, a Salesforce developer at Armstrong Steel, who was tasked with changing his team’s sales technology. In the end, Armstrong Steel reduced quoting errors by 50% — and saved over 3 hours a day tracking call recordings.
In this video, learn how Sean implemented Einstein Conversation Insights and Sales Dialer to propel digital growth.
Episode 2: A sales leader finds new ways to manage her team remotely.
Brooke Gerhardt, director of sales at Armstrong Steel, had to keep her reps motivated with personalized coaching from afar. She learned that skilling up her people meant skilling up herself.
In this video, learn how conversational intelligence can help leaders coach their reps.
Episode 3: A sales manager takes on the future as the scope of selling changes.
A truly digital sales team keeps up the productivity even as new selling processes emerge and old methods fade away. Alex Searls, senior sales manager at Armstrong Steel, found a way to keep his reps up to speed, when best practices were changing fast.
In this video, learn how Sales Cadences can help a digital sales team get into lockstep.
Episode 4: A sales rep learns new ways to connect and break through the noise.
