Best Sales Tools for Sales Directors

Sales directors have an important role, responsible for overseeing all the sales activities in an organization and making key decisions on what sales strategies and frameworks they’ll use. If their team isn’t getting good results, it’s their job to work out why—otherwise they might not have a job for long.

To ensure they’re getting the best out of their reps, sales directors need to have the right tools for the job; software that lets them see exactly what’s going on in the sales process, what’s getting the best results and what needs to be changed.

Read on to find out what type of tools you need, along with our top recommendations in each section.

Great backlink strategy for Reply.io here--however, the Bonusly tool is super cool. Hadn't heard of it; adding it to my list of tools to add to our stack as we grow out the SDR team over the next 6 months.

Just have to ensure they’re rolled out properly. Tools are great, but only if used effectively.

Would add in tools like SalesCompete for the last category, sales motivation. Has helped our reps transition well to remote work and keep motivated. Hooks into all the enablement tools.

You forgot Excel and an unhealthy need to not pay attention to what's going on around them.
