The numbers don't lie when it comes to how Slack can help sales teams: 296 percent return on investment; over 15% increase in concluded deals; 13% faster onboarding; $2.6 million in additional income owing to enhanced sales velocity
But, according to Bill Patterson, Salesforce's General Manager of Sales Cloud, such figures may only touch the surface of business potential when it comes to combining Slack with Sales Cloud.
Patterson spoke with us about digital deal rooms, the importance of simplicity over complication, and how Slack within Salesforce may help sales teams prepare for the future.
As an innovator, thinking about Slack, the world's top interaction platform, teaming forces with Salesforce, the world's leading CRM platform, gets your mind thinking about living up to our company's goal of helping businesses get closer to their customers.
Slack can be used in a variety of ways throughout the sales process, beginning with utilising channels.
Because sales is a team sport, think of channels as a method to bring all of the many team members who work around a customer or deal together in one place. For your accounts, deals, and upcoming possibilities, you can use a variety of channels.
Slack also reduces the formality of communication and streamlines company processes.
You can respond with a short thumbs-up or thumbs-down emoji instead of sending a long-form email to approve this deal or discount.
To transition to a different context, you don't have to stop what you're doing. In a natural, pictorial, and amusing way, it speeds up the transaction.
From onboarding and training salespeople to identifying expertise across the company and using Slack Connect to engage customers, partners, suppliers, and vendors, we'll fully integrate Slack into the sales cycle.
We've already started to alter our sales process at Salesforce by being Slack-First.
At Salesforce, we've already noticed a higher level of engagement, and I'm looking forward to seeing how other customers react.
What role does Slack play in this?
Slack Interact is a platform that allows businesses to securely connect with their consumers outside of their own boundaries.
Proposals, sales pitches, and negotiations are all personal interactions with your customers. Sending or forwarding an email to declare you're connected isn't enough.
With Slack, you can see all of the back-and-forth and invite others to join the conversation while getting real-time responses.
Some tasks are delegated to the background, freeing you time to focus on building deeper relationships with clients.
What are the benefits of using Slack and Sales Cloud to make that process faster and more efficient?
Having account managers or sales people take on new accounts is a regular scenario. Perhaps someone has left the company and you've been tasked with maintaining and growing a relationship.
The process of catching up on accounts necessitates a great deal of manual labour — phone calls, for example.
With Slack, this is no longer the case. All of a salesperson's relationship and communication history is searchable and streamlined in Slack, allowing them to get up to speed quickly.
What are Deal Rooms and How Do They Work?
A digital deal room is a Slack channel where we invite all of the necessary participants and save all of the relevant deal information.
It also offers all of the workflow and automation experiences that individuals need to prompt and nudge them if certain steps to advance a deal aren't being taken.
Teams may change Salesforce data directly from Slack as the deal goes through the sales cycle, modifying the deal size or a closure date as conversations continue.
How may Slack-First Sales help you deal with emotions of loneliness?
When utilising Slack, I've been fascinated by the level of engagement you can find with your peers who are all around the world.
Through this digital water cooler, you may foster a sense of community among your work groups and colleagues.
To facilitate relationship building, apps like Donut in Slack may automatically plan virtual coffee meetings.
One thing we've learnt in this time is how difficult it is to manage the divide between working at home and working in the office. Setting your status is one of my favourite aspects of Slack.
You know when I'm going to be gone all day and won't be returning till the morning. I don't have to work late and can spend more time with my family.
Many of the consumers I interact with discover that they are more resilient as a result of the ability to pause and return in the morning.
Sales is a job that has a cyclical nature to it. You find possible purchasers, put together a business case, negotiate terms, and then close the deal.
All of the labour leading up to a contract could be for naught if internal coordination stutters at any point, and no team wants that to happen.
That's why, when it comes to overseeing a large sales team like the one at Slack, effective communication and agility are essential.
Naturally, our sales team uses Slack as a communication hub to bring everything together—teammates, tools, and data—in order to complete their tasks.
As a result, we spoke with a group of salespeople at all levels to see how they utilise Slack to service existing and potential clients on a daily basis.
