It stands to reason that if you want to sell more consumer goods, you need to create more opportunities to sell. Finding the right mobile app for your field reps is a great place to start. Here are three goals to keep in mind if you’re looking for ways to grow revenues quickly.
1) Share information
Customers expect your mobile field team to share timely, accurate information. The only way your reps can do this effectively is when they have access to relevant, real-time data. With the right mobile app in hand, they can provide:
- Product information that is up-to-the minute
- Pricing details that are down to the penny
- Ordering advice based on consumer trends and historical data
- Accurate product availability data
2) Ensure timeliness
Having an effective mobile tool can be a huge time-saver for reps. This frees them up to develop a better rapport with customers and, therefore, close bigger deals. The right mobile app will:
- Reduce travel times with access to GPS and route plans on the road
- Keep in-store activities on track and on time with ‘guided execution’
- Speed up stock checks and reordering with barcode scanning
- Create cross-sell opportunities based on upcoming seasons and promotions
3) Gain visibility
Having access to real-time field data gives route supervisors the perspective to ensure the strategies they develop behind the scenes are executed in the field. With the right mobile solution, they can:
- Offer guidance to reps throughout the day
- Map better routes based on customer needs
- Help field reps plan more efficient in-store visits
- Run real-time sales and merchandising contests
