Your business’ technology is the answer.

Information technology (IT) is an undeniably important part of any modern business that wants to maintain a competitive edge. Chief Information Officers and Chief Technology Officers are gaining more and more authority at the Executive table, and according to Computerworld, 43% of these executives intend to increase their IT expenditures this year because they know it will help them meet sales goals.

Automation, virtualization, mobilization… the ways in which technology is helping businesses to do more — such as make sales — are never-ending. Unfortunately, the IT field is undeniably complicated; advancement is accelerating, and often as soon as you’ve gotten used to applying a groundbreaking technology to your business’ sales efforts, a better version of it is available on the market. Research is time-consuming, and the particulars of any new IT system are complicated, which is why it’s so important to invest in the right IT support partner to handle it for you.

How Can Technology Help Your Business Make Sales?

• Business Analytics: Every single byte of data that a company possesses is worth more than a simple record. Each email, order, invoice, and other stored file is an opportunity for you to identify a trend in your business’ sales practices. Services such as enterprise analytics, data mining, and business intelligence platforms allow companies to analyze their data to find opportunities to make the sales process more effective. The more you know about your own company, the better you can facilitate its performance; instead of simply storing it away, put the data to work for you.
• Modern Methodology: As your customers become more aware of technology advancements on the consumer side, they’ll expect your business to keep up as well. Where not too long ago customers would look to place orders through your website instead of calling in, now they may want to place orders through a mobile app instead of going to your website. If you don’t have a mobile app available to them, they’ll just move on to one of your competitors that does. Investing in new applications of technology will make it easier to forge a convenient and profitable connection between your staff and new clients.

• Mobility: With new policies like B.Y.O.D. (“Bring Your Own Device”) gaining popularity in the workplace, it’s easier than ever to enable your employees to work on the go. Whereas once salespeople were shackled to their desktop computer and traditional telephone, now they can get all the information they need to make a sale on their smartphone, tablet or laptop. This allows them to make connections, foster relationships, and close sales all on a more personal level and with greater ease.
