However, once the sales reps are on the field, it becomes difficult to actually monitor their location and activities, especially in larger teams. It is a lose-lose situation: The reps have to take time from actually selling to call the office or fill out reports, and sales management needs to assign extra personnel to help with taking these calls and transcribing reports.
A sales tracking solution is the ideal tool for this scenario, since it fulfills the duties of the extra personnel mentioned before.
With a sales tracking solution, sales managers can prevent fraudulent customer visits by monitoring the location of field reps, as well as have instant access to relevant sales call information and verify that the appropriate product presentation was performed at the correct customer location, for instance.
There are even more advantages to implementing a state-of-the-art sales tracking solution: Some of options available on the market allow management to create automatic notifications of certain events, such as a call on a specific key customer or a request for equipment maintenance.

It improves communication between sales management and the field so outside reps can have all the tools they need to succeed at their fingertips while keeping management informed of rep's locations and activity.
