Sales professionals are perpetually on the move. Be it for client meetings, conducting off site team trainings or traveling to make presentations. In such a scenario, mobile apps are not just a ‘nice to have’, they are a necessity. Apart from enterprise email accounts and software, mobile apps can make the lives of salespeople, easy, educational and sometimes fun.
We have compiled a list of the top 5 applications we believe a salesperson must have on his smartphone.
1) Dragon: A nifty app for those who hate writing notes. Dragon auto-translates voice memos to text. It can do the vice versa for text messages and emails as well.
2) Mobile CRM App: No matter which CRM your organization uses, you’ll certainly be better off if you download the mobile app version of the CRM. For those stuck in long meetings or extended travel, a CRM app makes it easy to add information on the go.
3) CamCard: In the age of mobile, there are still many of us who hand out paper business cards. Sales executives tend to collect a lot of cards, but what if they’re lost? CamCard helps to digitize cards with a simple photo and auto-saves the information on your device.
4) Dropbox: Client needs a copy of that 20MB deck? And your laptop just crashed when you tried to send it? Fear not. With Dropbox’s mobile app, you’ll never see a ‘your file is too large’ error message again.
5) eSignature: Signature apps are very handy when a customer is ready to commit to a contract. If your company uses DocuSign or Adobe EchoSign, it maybe a good idea to download their mobile app so that important documents can be signed no matter where you are.
