Recording calls can be very beneficial in role-plays when training employees, as they are examples of real life calls that employees will most likely receive.
2. Sales team
The main objective you should have when it comes to your customer is satisfying their needs. Recent research by Gartner has found that it’s necessary to move more seller interactions into digital channels, to build a data driven organization and increase your ability to satisfy customer needs.
This is essential as selling processes are “notoriously and stubbornly analog.” Lets use sales calls as an example, as reps phone conversation with a prospect is a well of information about the prospects readiness to buy and qualitative information about the sellers performance. Even if the call is recorded, the qualitative insights remain locked in the audio file. There’s no way to extract and utilize this information. That is if you have not got Recordia.
As sales processes become more digitized, seller effectiveness will increase. According to Gartner research B2B sales are transforming into a trusted advisor role. They believe and we concur, that these changes will drive more investment into AI- enabled Data Intelligent Solutions and these will become the competitive differentiator between companies.
Voice entry is becoming more and more common with companies utilizing it reaping the benefits. Gartner spoke to companies using this technology who deem it as vital for their daily sales processes. Once such company credits their 25% improvement in revenue growth to its use of this technology, due to the time it saves sellers entering and retrieving data from the SFA system.
