Back to All Stories

Selling today looks a lot different than it did 20 years ago, when we first launched our customer relationship management (CRM) platform. Customer expectations have increased, deals have gotten more complex, and team selling is now the norm. Yet most sales organizations aren't equipped with the tools they need to efficiently work a deal with their extended team. Reps trying to coordinate with teammates are bogged down in internal email threads, frantic chat storms, and multiple confusing file versions. It's no wonder the Salesforce State of Sales Report found that reps today end up spending 66% of their time on manual administrative tasks and only 34% of their time actually selling.

How can sales teams be productive with so much headwind? 

Today we are excited to announce that Quip for Sales is part of a new Salesforce solution that enables sales teams to optimize sales productivity by:

  • Maximizing selling time with intelligent automation
  • Ramping new reps faster and smarter
  • Cultivating a data-driven coaching culture
  • Collaborating and sharing winning plays


Available as of the Summer '19 release, sales teams will be able to sell faster than ever with automation, intelligence, collaboration, and enablement.

 

Quip for Sales puts productivity into the context of Intelligent CRM

Quip for Sales brings productivity apps inside the #1 CRM — streamlining deal coordination so sales teams can close more deals faster.
