Educate – Motivate – Dedicate

Effective sales team communication is much more than pushing out product updates and pricing information to sales people. It’s fueling sales excellence by educating your sales teams with valuable insights, motivating them to succeed and dedicating them to your business goals.

Sales teams are time-poor and target-oriented. A creative approach to sales team communication is essential to get their attention and drive results.

SnapComms Features Deliver More

Sales team communication is even better with built-in special features of the SnapComms platform.

  • Active directories allow messages to be targeted to specific staff by location, role and user profile. When sales people are already busy, targeted communications achieve higher relevance and low wastage – meaning less time reading pointless emails and more time selling!
  • The pop-up notification format ensures higher visibility for priority messages and higher response rates to survey or quiz messages.
  • Recurrence options for unread messages help ensure that messages are actually read – essential when the information affects customers.
  • Reporting options mean you can access detailed information on message opens, clicks and interactions. This can be useful when needing to prove the effectiveness of your communications strategy, or to identify any ‘black spots’.
