As a sales recruitment agency with a lot of sales-focussed clients, we’ve learned a ton over the years from them and ourselves on what apps can make your sales process easier. For instance, we know that having easy access to your sales resources is essential. But you can’t always be in the office to access the sales tools you need. Perhaps you are travelling, at home on the weekend, or what if you are away from the office and want to make a quick update to prospect information?

The benefits of using sales apps on your phone

Being able to access important information through your smartphone apps can help make the sales process just a little bit easier. You never know when you’ll need to check into things to assist a client. Benefits include:

• You have more ways to communicate with customers
• You can provide better service to customers when out of the office
• Boost productivity
• Update prospect information in real-time
• Keep your sales pipeline updated
• You always have access to important data

Best Apps to make the sales process easier

Whether you are new to sales or a seasoned busy sales professional looking to improve your process, you are always on the go, or you meet with clients frequently in person, having access to sales tools on your phone or tablet can help you be more effective and efficient.

I polled our most seasoned sales recruiters and came up with the following list of the best tools salespeople can use from the app stores:

1. Spotio: This is a field sales app providing you with tracking software, region management, and a variety of sales intelligence tools.
2. Slack: Stay in communication with colleagues and clients via this chat app.
3. LinkedIn: Stay connected and search for prospects, perform client research.
4. Doc Scan: Use your phone to scan a photo of important documents and save as a PDF.
5. Zoom: Use your phone to jump on a video conference or meeting wherever you are located.
6. QuickVoice: This gives you the ability to record meetings and other interactions so you can refer to them later.
7. Profit Story: Calculate the sales margin of a proposed deal with this handy calculator.
8. DocuSign: Make it easy for prospects to sign contracts and other documentation. Get eSignatures from any location.
9. Feedly: Stay up to date with your industry news while travelling.
10. Time Buddy: This is a great scheduling app enabling you to book meetings and connect it with your Google calendar.

This is only scratching the surface of the apps you could use on your phone to improve the sales process.

You can download these apps for iOS, Android, or Chrome. Most have a free and paid version. Visit the app store on your phone to add them.
