Privyr - 5 bottlenecks that are holding your sales team back (and how to fix them!)

If you’re managing a target-driven sales team and sensing unlocked – even blocked – potential, you’re not alone!

We get it — sales managers have to manage so many things: assigning leads, ensuring lead quality, tracking first response times, monitoring sales team performance, checking quotas and close rates, and more. It’s overwhelming! 😵

What’s more, you can tell that there’s room for improvement, but your mountain of tasks makes it hard to tell what exactly needs to change.

The truth is that, even with you and your team’s best efforts, opportunities often slip through the cracks. This isn’t necessarily because you’re a bad sales manager! It simply happens when there’s no system in place that works around the clock to keep tasks from piling up. As a result, the team’s best leads often go stale – or worse, missing. 😱

So, where are you most likely to lose these close-worthy leads? We’re glad you asked! Here, we list the 5 bottlenecks and how to solve them, a guide that has already helped over 200,000 businesses in more than 100 countries streamline their sales processes with Privyr:

Bottleneck #1: It takes your team too long to contact leads because it takes your team too long to receive leads

Team members must receive their Leads instantly: You should get notified of every lead the moment they arrive from any lead source. Further, leads should be assigned to the right salesperson instantly — before any precious time is lost! This boosts connection rates by ensuring your sales process starts efficiently. Research* shows that 82% of consumers expect a response within 10 minutes!

So if it’s taking your team members 30 minutes, an hour, or even longer to receive their leads, they’ve already lost.

The good news is that you can easily achieve automatic, instant lead assignment with Privyr. This way, your team will never miss a hot lead because it took too long to know they existed!

Receive leads as instant alerts & automatically distribute them. 📲

Bottleneck #2: Time-consuming manual data entry and copy-pasting templates further slows your team’s response to leads

Contact Leads quickly through the channels where they’re most likely to engage: You know your leads and your industry best. Whether via text, WhatsApp, and call, every prospect’s preferred communication medium is different.

With Privyr you are ready to engage with leads via auto-personalised messages that you send through the channel that your leads prefer — no more copy-pasting texts or saving each contact to your phonebook manually! Every detail auto-populates correctly via Privyr.

Contact and engage leads fast with auto-personalised content, no more scutwork! 🙌

Bottleneck #3: Teams lose deals due to a lack of follow-ups and sales activity tracking

Keep track of Leads’ sales activities and follow-ups: Automatically log activities like calls, texts, or notes; and schedule follow-up reminders so no leads fall through the cracks. Research shows that 48% of reps don’t follow up after the first contact, but 80% of prospects* say yes after the third follow-up.

With Privyr’s Activity Timeline, you can remember your interactions with your lead at a glance, so that you’re always prepared for your next interaction.

Highly effective, well-informed follow-ups — at your fingertips. 👆

Bottleneck #4: Teams lose sales due to confusion over which clients are interested and which clients to prioritize

Stop the guesswork around which prospects are most interested: Send beautifully crafted media-rich sales Pages and files that are auto-personalised for both the prospect and the team member sending the content, complete with quick-action ‘contact me’ buttons.

Track the prospect’s real-time interest with real-time data about who is viewing your team’s sales content, how long they’re viewing it, and how many times they’ve viewed it – all indicators of interest!. That helps in prioritizing the prospects the team is more likely to close sooner.

Monitor a lead’s engagement with your content effortlessly. ✨

Bottleneck #5: Manually managing the team and tracking sales reps’ performances is chaotic, ineffective work

Make it easy to manage your large sales team: Data shows that salespeople spend only 34% of their time* selling because they’re swamped with admin tasks.

Reduce your team’s mundane task load, save hours of productivity, and minimize lost opportunities by automating lead assignment, data entry, and performance tracking. Their job is to do sales, so let them perform to their highest potential! Watch them close more deals through a centralized team-view dashboard that makes it easy to tell where your high performers are – and who needs some extra guidance.

Manage your team or multiple sub-teams — like a pro.

Managing a sales team is not an easy job, but don’t worry, Privyr is here for you! Take control of your sales process and watch your team’s results skyrocket up to 300%. 🚀🚀
