The Total Economic Impact™ of Slack for Sales Teams

In today’s competitive sales environment, customer expectations have reached new highs. Salesforce found that 69% of sales professionals say that their job is harder than ever. Juggling time-sensitive selling activities with routine yet critical tasks—like inputting customer information and tracking down teammates for status updates—is all in a day’s work for account executives.

To hit revenue goals, sales teams must streamline manual work so they can devote more time to customers. With Slack, the intelligent productivity platform, sales teams can organize communication, work faster with automation, build a strong team culture and close deals faster.
