How to Manage Your Sales Stack!!

Look at all the sales tools on in this graphic. It’s frickin’ crazy.  We are being barraged and overwhelmed with more sales tools than we know what to do with. What’s even crazier is I recognized there are a number of tools that aren’t even on this list. Which means that in spite of the craziness of this graphic there are many more tools not listed here.

The world of sales enablement and sales tools is growing like wildfire. New tools are being launched, funded, and sold every day, and it’s becoming a complete cluster. Keeping up is a chore. How are we supposed to know which ones work? Which is a waste of time? Which deliver on their promise, which don’t?

How do you build processes to vet new tools? How do you develop processes to introduce and implement new sales tools?  How do you go back and evaluate if a tool is working for your organization and if you should keep it or get rid of it? Let’s keep it real; these tools cost money and if you’re not paying attention can add up to some serious coin.

My back of the napkin estimate is the average small to mid-size company has 7-9 SaaS applications or sales tools in their sales stack. As if that’s not enough, they are getting inundated by sales people every day to add new ones. The sales SaaS app is the crack of today’s sales organization.
