What people are saying...“Information, and its associated accuracy, is critical to every company’s core business, profitability, future planning, and overall success,” explained Alan Ahern, Chairman of the ECIA Independent Manufacturer Rep Council. “In February of 2019, the Council initiated a process to address the inefficiencies of manually entering data multiple times due to disparate CRM systems used by Representatives, Manufacturers and Distributors. We now have the results of that initiative.” “Manufacturers expect their sales force to gather an increasing amount of customer information so that we can make intelligent decisions on how to run our business,” explained Gary Mountford, Vice President of C&K America. “When a Manufacturer Rep has 15 lines, with 10-15 unique CRM systems, it is unreasonable to expect timely and detailed updates in each of these systems on all of the opportunities and customers in their territory. Being able to update just one system and exchange this data instantly into our SFDC system, enables our Reps to act in a more timely and detailed fashion, and ultimately spend more time in front of the customer.”
