Automation is freeing up sales reps to do what they do best—sell. A study by Invesp found that automation drives a 14.5% increase in sales productivity and a 12.2% reduction in marketing overhead. Automation tools have cut down response time dramatically and allowed companies to reach potential customers much faster.

The personal touch in sales hasn’t lost its charm. With video conferencing, you can reach clients anywhere in the world, and often, sales reps increase their conversions when using video calls. These calls can bring a personal touch to remote sales that help build stronger relationships with clients.

By incorporating these innovative tools and strategies into your sales processes, you can not only keep up with the digital age but also pave the way for unprecedented revenue growth.
