How many Sales Balls can Packaging Manufacturers Juggle

“Hey Bob, glad I caught you. How’s it going?” Asked the sales manager.
“Going OK Frank. Just got out of a meeting with Xpedx here in Houston. Sales guy said thinking why did he answer the phone.
“Hey tell me all about it.”
“Sure, lets start with the deal working for Sara Lee,…” The sales guy sighs.
And over and over. Packaging manufacturers sell using regional sales people, like the sales guy, and distributors, like Xpedx. Any dealer that is still taking breaths has deals all over the territory, all over the line card, and all over the sales process steps. Juggling all this data and reporting takes hard sales time away from sales guys, if the right tool is not in place.
Partner management tools are silly. The OEM pays big user fees, and partner is to go to a website to crack the data entry code. This does not happen unless line card big dog demands this. Little dogs get crumbs. Sales data dribbles and forecast is wrong over and over. This does not have to be.
Here is a sales software that feeds the Yorkies on line cards. Onlinesalessoftware.net rolled out leadNET, a tool that all sales guys can use, even the in-directs. So if report time is too high, if sales meetings are too long and if your wallet is too empty then go visit this sales software site. Call the sales power bench guys and turn on the lights in your sales company.
