Long gone are the days when working in sales meant perusing your Rolodex and cold-calling using a manual telephone. Today, the business world is more connected than ever. It’s common for executives to take important calls on the go, and it’s just as common for business relationships to develop in real time across multiple time zones.
All of this means that it’s critically important you’re able to access all your data wherever and whenever you need to. You never know when you’ll need to strike while the iron is hot, and the last thing you want is to be caught unawares just as a red-hot deal is about to be closed.
As a sales professional, you’re definitely already using a CRM system to manage your leads and deal progress. But what are you supposed to do when you get caught away from your desk or while traveling for business and don’t have immediate access to your information?

That’s why we’ve decided to create a handy guide that walks you through all the features of the noCRM Android mobile app. This way, once you’ve finished reading the article, you’ll be ready to download and dive straight in, rather than needing a lengthy adjustment process.
But that’s more than enough preamble. Let’s dive straight into discussing the noCRM mobile app and how it can help you smash your sales goals going forward.
noCRM Mobile App Key Features
Prospecting Lists and Prospects Management
Prospects and leads are not the same. Leads are hot contacts that have already shown interest in your product or service and need to be moved through each step of your pipeline toward closing.
Prospects, on the other hand, need to be qualified first—you have to contact them initially and determine if they could potentially lead to a sale.
Just like the desktop version, the noCRM mobile app allows you to separate both leads and prospects, ensuring you apply the right process to each and avoid wasting time on cold prospects that will never convert.
With the noCRM mobile app, you can easily view your prospecting lists, see which prospects have been canceled or turned into leads, and identify those still in need of attention.
You can then work on qualifying cold prospects on the go, update their information and activities, and even convert them into leads directly from the app.
Lead Creation
Creating leads is the first step of any sales team’s process. After all, it’s impossible to move deals through your pipeline if you don’t have any deals to work with. And deals, whether big or small, all start at the same place: leads.
At first glance, creating leads might seem like a major task to handle in a mobile app. With so much information needing to be filled in, and so many potential ways to go wrong, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s simply too much to entrust to your phone. That’s not the case, though: the noCRM mobile app’s lead creation tool is as intuitive and straightforward as filling out a few fields.
Simple text boxes take the confusion out of creating new leads, making it immediately obvious where to enter all the relevant information you need. Other than creating a new lead manually, you can also choose to scan business cards or create leads by forwarding emails in just a few seconds. And once you’ve created each one, it’ll be automatically stored in your database for easy retrieval.
Business Card Scanning
Business cards are part and parcel of the sales world, especially at in-person events like conferences or trade shows. But in some senses, they belong to an older time. Back before CRM software exploded in popularity along with the rest of sales-related technological tools, business cards used to be the only way you could get a potential prospect’s information.
Don’t get us wrong: they’re still just as useful and as popular as ever. It has led to an interesting problem, though, whereby sales reps have to manually enter data from a business card into their CRM of choice to create the lead. Or, rather, that used to be the case—because the noCRM mobile app has an answer.
Simply scan the business card in question with your mobile app and the lead will be automatically created and populated with the prospect’s information. You don’t need to worry about manual error creating bad data or clogging up your pipeline with an unactionable lead. Plus, you’ll finally be able to take full advantage of all the in-person opportunities you’re presented with, while still seamlessly integrating everything with your existing workflow.
Lead Updates
Of course, leads rarely stay the same throughout the lifetime of a deal. New activities may require certain data points to be updated, or the point of contact for a given company might change based on internal personnel restructuring. No matter what the reason, it’s vital you have a way to update and manage your leads at a moment’s notice.
Luckily, noCRM’s Android app makes managing your leads every bit as easy as creating them. By simply navigating to the lead you’ve already created in the app and clicking on details, you’ll be able to add, delete, or update any info you need to with just a few taps of a button.
