These inefficiencies exist in nearly every revenue team and cause friction between quota attainment and tedious data entry. “Consequently, a hodgepodge of tools are hacked together for taking notes, managing pipelines, and forecasting. Unfortunately, most of that data is spread across random applications, and rarely finds its way into Salesforce (CRM),'' said Pouyan Salehi, co-founder and CEO of Scratchpad. “Sales organizations depend on a large amount of qualitative and quantitative data to complete a sale. Furthermore, managers, sales operations teams, and enablement teams cannot enforce the process compliance necessary for sales teams to consistently meet their quotas. As a result, sales reps succumb to using endless browser tabs and copying and pasting sales notes into slow-loading CRM systems, leading to incomplete or missing sales data. These challenges stem from revenue teams being forced into collaborating within docs, sheets, and apps that are all disconnected from the CRM system. Sales operations and managers also faced difficulties with enforcing process compliance with front line sales teams. Account executives struggled with keeping Salesforce updated, managing their pipeline, and collaborating with their broader revenue team, especially during handoffs.
