Increase Sales 43%

Each year we all look at how can we increase sales in our companies and increasing sales by 43% is typically not an easy task. For some companies, the only way to increase sales by 43% is to start selling a different product or service. However, for all companies, companies that have a sales contact management/ customer relationship management (CRM) system have 43% MORE SALES PER EMPLOYEE. Sales Contact Management/CRM systems allows companies to track all sales touch points, tasks and activities to increase sales, decrease sales cycles and maximize each sales opportunity.

Companies with a sales contact management system average $256,087 per employee while companies without a sales contact management average $178,542 per employee. That is 43% MORE SALES PER EMPLOYEE. Also, companies with a sales contact management/CRM system average $5,831,710 in annual revenue compared to $2,221,061 for companies without one. That is over 260% MORE SALES.

Below is a comparison of some sales contact management/CRM systems.
