Exploring the Need for a Dedicated Platform for Sales Executives - Lead Experts

New Delhi [India], Oct 23 (ANI/BusinessWire India): The way businesses enable sales will never be the same again. The COVID-19 pandemic has enforced a harsh tradeoff between protecting lives and livelihoods and the need to stay indoors, maintain social distancing and the freeze on mobility to contain the contagion has surely hit businesses where it hurts the most; sales.
Business and economy follow a standard thumb rule of passing through the costs to the next individual and institution in the value chain. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that sales executives as a professional community have been hit hard.
2020: The Year That Was "Not for Sales"
The COVID-19 pandemic in fact has thrown up a two-fold challenge to the sales function. The health crisis has consumed most of the year and now businesses need to do the balancing act of growing sales while reducing or at least maintaining the existing costs. Expansion of the sales force through direct recruitment is the first means for businesses to achieve sales growth. But doing so will come with an increase in costs.
Second, logistical mobility is still a challenge and comes with an increase in selling costs against businesses' efforts to penetrate deep-seated opportunities in the market to engage with customers, fulfill orders and realize sales. Third, with social distancing being the norm of the day, insights into competitor activity and market trends are hard to come by. As such, scaling growth now and beyond the pandemic will come with a steep rise on the cost curve for businesses.
The Paradox and a Blueprint to Bring Together Businesses and Sales Executives
It is subversive if not paradoxical that despite sales being the lifeline of businesses and several business shocks including the ongoing pandemic there is no dedicated platform to bring together businesses and sales executives on the same page. Under these circumstances and bearing in mind that the disruption that the pandemic has caused, there is an opportunity for businesses and sales executives to collaborate through a "scope-of-work marketplace" that is exclusively dedicated to sales outsourcing.
What Are the Opportunities for Businesses and Sales Executives Beyond the Pandemic?
Every crisis brings a challenge and therefore an opportunity to create value both for the economy and the society. Working from home has in fact allowed salespeople to innovate and explore new ways of customer engagement, tap into digital tools and platforms and keep businesses going. Sales executives are eager to unlock their energies with renewed vigor and energy.
Furthermore, the festive season is just around the corner and is the right time for businesses to push forward with agility to grow their sales and also for sales executives to bounce back. A technology-enabled platform to zero down gaps between them can unlock sales growth and create new vistas. Sales outsourcing can work for both sales executives and businesses.
What Are the Benefits of a Dedicated Platform for Sales Executives?
A dedicated platform where sales talent meets sales opportunities for businesses will be a winning partnership.

Such a platform will create opportunities for sales executives to leverage domain expertise across similar businesses.
Furthermore, it will allow sales executives to optimize their time and efforts to scale up income.
