Zoho has launched Zoho Motivator, its insight driven software for maximizing the performance of sales teams. Available immediately, Zoho Motivator marks the company’s foray into gamification. It works with the company’s customer relationship management software, Zoho CRM, and uses contests, scorecards and leader boards to help sales people maximize revenues and help increase team engagement.
Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist of Zoho said
Sales is about numbers, and driving desired behaviour in salespeople is instrumental to achieve them. Sales teams often focus squarely on targets and neglect the practices that lets them achieve those targets. Zoho Motivator not only increases revenue by driving desired behaviour and improving the sales process, but also makes sure salespeople have fun while they’re at it. Zoho Motivator puts sales teams in the game.
As the only company to offer both gamification and CRM solutions without depending on a third party, Zoho delivers superior functionality and tighter integration compared to other solutions in the market.
Zoho Motivator’s key benefits
Drive revenue with insights that matter
Business intelligence through KPIs and Dashboards – A sales manager can define various criteria or KPIs like leads generated or potentials created, and track performance in real time. They can also customize dashboards and analyse data on these criteria to identify areas of improvement.
Deeper insights through metrics like Pipeline Velocity and Pipeline Stages – Pipeline Velocity indicates how quickly opportunities are moving through the sales pipeline on their way to becoming won deals. Pipeline Stages provides insights about bottlenecks in the sales pipeline.
Encourage the right sales behaviour and activities
Define desired sales practices by setting Custom Targets – The process is as important as the outcome. Managers can drive desired behaviour in salespeople by setting targets like “Making all client calls by noon” or “Meeting prospects every week”. Revenue happens when sales teams follow the appropriate sales activities and methodology. Zoho Motivator allows sales managers to focus not just on the outcome, but also the process.
Real-Time Scorecards for insightful results – The right feedback at the right time helps in improving sales processes. Salespeople can have access to a real-time report of their current sales contest using scorecards which also helps in team building. A high performing individual can be paired with a low performing individual and work together as a team – this way everyone is motivated to perform better.
Drive sales team engagement
Motivator TV drives awareness and engagement – Cultivate motivation through recognition. Sales victories and contest winners can be showcased on big-screen TVs for better team motivation and engagement. Zoho Motivator also provides a convenient on-screen ticker that displays real-time notifications to the sales team – so everyone knows how they are doing in the current contest or sales period.
