Sales automation can minimize the cost of sales by reducing the time spent on administration and reporting. By automating outreach to customers throughout the sales funnel, it may also boost earnings.

However, a large number of decision-makers are either unaware of—or have not yet utilized—the value that sales automation can generate across an expanding range of use cases. Sales companies must adapt their methods of operation and technological foundations to take advantage of the new opportunity and ensure that sales representatives and automation solutions complement one another.

Early adopters of sales automation routinely report longer periods of time spent with customers, higher levels of customer satisfaction, efficiency gains of 10 to 15 percent, and the potential for up to 10% growth in sales.
