User Case Scenario:
Sales Coach target user: Sales team members who are relatively new to Salesforce
Jason has been using Salesforce at his previous company to manage his sales opportunities, but is still fairly new to the game and would like to get some understanding how Salesforce can help him in his sales process. He learns that his company offers a Digital Sales Coach on the APP Exchange that provides instruction and useful insight into managing his sales opportunities with Sales- force. He decides to give it a try. Right away Jason is able to sync with his Salesforce account and start interacting with his opportunities. The intuitive interface leads him along the sales process and there’s even an interactive “Sales Coach” that offers up tips and advice on how to have a more successful sales cycle. The Sales Coach is backed by a rich sales knowledge base and serves as a valuable asset to Jason as he tracks his opportunities thru the sales stages.
Jason is able to collaborate and communicate with his other sales associates on the account and is presented with real time analytics and metrics of his opportunities that help him gain valuable insight into the sales opportunity and recent trends. In addition to the Sales Coach there is a “Sales Playbook” that is dynamically populated with content from company sales teams.
In a short time the Sales Coach has become a valuable tool for Jason to use in his daily sales management. It’s ease of use and valuable insights have made him the top performing sales associate at his company and he has “Da Coach” to thank for that.
