Sales Force Automation Systems (SFA) were designed to aid organizations by managing and tracking records in one place, providing sales forecasting, and supporting management’s leadership efforts. A recent Gartner report found that, “most sales people see SFA as a management application, rather than a salesperson’s tool.” Instead of helping focus representatives on an individual lead and providing tools to help him or her win it, SFAs all too often turn selling into a data entry task where the information is consumed by management, but does not then get turned into helpful guidance for the salesperson.
With Sales Performance Automation, information that is entered by the sales person is tracked, organized and consumed by both management and the salesperson. For management, detailed information is used for pipelining, coaching, and more accurate forecasts because it removes the optimism that permeates sales people’s assessment of where they are in the sales cycle. The information collected in SPA is also run through the company’s sales methodology and process, resulting in strategy guidance for the salesperson and an early warning system that highlights potential red flags for managers.
