5 Organization Tools to Help You Make More Sales
Guest post by Andrew Lisa
For the modern salesperson, (job hunt included) it’s easy for life to become cluttered. The mountains of contacts, documents and lists can quickly overwhelm even the most savvy and experienced among us. Here are some of the best organization tools to get your life – and career – under control.
Paper clutter is one of the biggest detriments to an otherwise-streamlined sales operation.
Pendaflex On the Go Desktop Stadium Style File
The Pendaflex On the Go Desktop Stadium Style File tackles one of the most basic, yet most disruptive elements plaguing the organization strategy of a busy salesperson – paper clutter. By organizing your documents into sections and sub-sections, you’ll be better organized and your operation will be more streamlined.
NeatDesk
Sometimes it seems like the more office supplies you buy, the less organized you become. The Pendaflex is great for organizing paper clutter – but what about turning your paper into digital records? The NeatDesk Desktop Scanner lets salespeople scan business cards, receipts, invoices or essentially any paper. Once scanned, the document becomes searchable files.
Evernote
Evernote may not be a required purchase for busy salespeople, but it probably should be. When it comes to digital organization, there is no substitute for Evernote. The app integrates seamlessly across all your devices and breaks down your entire life into customizable – and easily accessible – categories. Map your sales, potential customers, sales techniques, sales training ideas and more with one single app.
ULine Dry Erase
For visual people, the ULine board is the king of all dry erase boards. With their four-month calendar, a salesperson can draw, erase and re-draw on this enormous board, giving him or her a glance at the next third of their year in one complete picture. There is plenty of room included to map out sales training ideas or experiment with sales techniques.
A few key gadgets can help get your life and career under control.
An unorganized salesperson can make the sales experience difficult for a potential customer – and that’s bad news. Use available technology to streamline your organizational system and you’ll be on to more bigger and better sales.
