| No sales rep or broker out in the field likes that feeling of uncertainty when asked by a distributor or national account, “So where am I with my numbers?” Besides feeling a knot in the gut, the typical reaction is to pull out a PowerPoint with colorful charts, fancy clip art, and some “guesstimates.” And they can only hope they assure their customer that the numbers are correct.
Needless to say, because of incomplete and disparate information and complicated data retrieval, the numbers usually aren’t “right on.” And that doesn’t help anybody’s business. That’s why we’ve taken greater measures to help you with your sales reporting by offering GAUGESM – our offline reporting tool for field sales, brokers, and national accounts that provides standardized, on-demand reporting and analysis of sales volume and financial performance for distributor trade deals, operator programs, and national/regional chain accounts.
To make educated decisions that consistently drive profitable growth and provide value to your customers, salespeople need accurate, timely sales reporting that they can be confident in providing to their customers. And they need to easily access it without being stuck at their desks all day, connected to the network. |
