Better Tracking For Managers Leads to Greater Sales Success

Portland, Ore. – October 28, 2015 – MobilePaks, a sales enablement technology leader, is introducing its latest advancement, featuring the at-a-glance manager coaching report designed to improve visibility on sales teams’ progress, engagement and proficiency.

“This new reporting is designed to quickly identify and address knowledge gaps and training issues within sales ranks, which helps sales managers cut through the clutter of information and focus on the highest priorities,” says Chanin Ballance, CEO, MobilePaks. “We also know that alignment between sales, marketing and training is key to success.”

The manager coaching report is designed to share and track information on the progress of training initiatives such as new product releases, skill trainings, and new hire/onboarding—in a visual snapshot.

The report is seamlessly integrated into the MobilePaks KnowledgeBoost module. A Salesforce survey shows that over 50% of sales managers are too busy to adequately train and develop their sales teams. KnowledgeBoost is designed to help organizations create and deliver sales training bursts and reinforcement in short, engaging bites that are opportunity specific and/or on-demand. These short bursts aid sellers to stay on message and have better selling conversations, in addition to the coaching they receive from managers.

Beyond the training aspects, these reports allow managers to correlate usage of sales assets by sales stage, deals won and ramp time for new hires, allowing marketing and training teams to better align their sales acceleration and sales effectiveness efforts.

Other reporting benefits and features include:

  • Sales leaders can receive push notifications of these at-a-glance updates, for instant action.
  • Easy visibility into progression, proficiency and engagement of team, as well as the ability to benchmark with other teams.
  • Identifying gaps for coaching and professional development.
  • Identifying which content was used by the highest performing salespeople.
  • Tracking pipeline dollars of new team members, and correlating this to onboarding engagement and proficiency scores

“We constantly look for ways we can use brain science principles and technology to help sellers better utilize information in their work,” says Ms. Ballance. “More accurate measurements of multiple metrics, and then giving this snapshot visibility to management, helps make coaching and rep development more efficient and effective.”

Learning Solutions Magazine publishes MobilePaks CEO Chanin Ballance’s newest article, “Use a Virtual Coach to Onboard New Sales Hires.”

Traditional onboarding starts with a huge amount of information, which will most likely be forgotten in a matter of days or weeks. Many companies still plan weeklong training sessions with new hires, which is grueling for the salespeople and not as effective as short training bursts.

The challenge is to convey a lot of information quickly and get the salesperson producing right away. We are finding that the best training is in the field, and now, with technology, this is more possible than ever. We can have prompts at every step—just like a virtual coach.
