 | EcSELL Institute Proves ConnectAndSell Condenses 8 Hours of Selling into 1 Hour | ConnectAndSell | | Case Study | EcSELL Institute began using ConnectAndSell’s guaranteed-conversation services on October 12, 2009. By December 31st, EcSELL Institute’s sales pipeline had grown by 400%. That was the good news. The not-so-good news was that EcSELL Institute’s CRM processes were not designed for this new level of activity. In order to keep next-step activities from falling through the cracks, Bill had to abandon ACT-based salesforce automation and go to a full-blown Salesforce.com CRM system. Luckily, ConnectAndSell seamlessly integrated with Salesforce.com. The combination of these two technologies has enabled EcSELL Institute to condense 8 hours of selling activity into just 1 hour. Bill discusses the implications of what he calls “The New Sales Reality”. | | Sales Methodology & Skills Development; Sales Analytics & Performance Tracking
