Sales Software Integrations: 5 Useful Integrations to Make Your Sales Life Easier


Intro: We look at sales software integrations that make your You Don’t Need a CRM! experience even more seamless. 

Sales software integrations

Sales people live busy lives and spend most of their times either prospecting new sales opportunities, preparing proposals or are on the road rushing to the next client meeting.

In a fast paced work life, it is important to be able to quickly manage everything from one account and save time in order to focus on the end goal: closing the deal.

Losing time is a common problem amongst sales people. Looking through hundreds of folders on your desktop to find the right document you want to send over to the client, switching between multiple platforms to find the right client information and using different tools to communicate with the customer can be quite tiring, confusing and time consuming.

In situations like this, it is key that your lead management software is integrated with all the software and tools you’re using on a daily basis to make your sales life a lot easier and ultimately, save you time to focus on the important things.

Fortunately, there are many different options on integrations with 3rd party apps that help wiping the stress off you.

That’s why we want to show you five must-have integrations in the most relevant categories for your business inside You Don’t Need a CRM!:

Save Data with Dropbox:

Data is everywhere and crucial to every sort of business no matter how small or big. Especially in very small companies, documents and files are saved all over your desktop, making it harder each time to find the right document you’re looking for. If a client then requests some more information about your business, you need to look through all your files on your computer until you found the right one. When files become too big to save, most businesses are already relying on Dropbox, your cloud storage, to help you save and quickly find all the files you are looking for. When working with a Lead Management Software, it only makes sense that you have integrated your account with your Dropbox account, so you can easily attach presentations, brochures, client information or any other relevant document to your Leads so you have everything saved in one place and never have to undergo endless searches on your hard drive again.
