How to use reminders to manage your sales workflow?

Sales, Marketing and Support representatives have a lot of customers they manage on a day-to-day basis. This means, they have many tasks they have to conduct for each customer.

But how do they make sure that each activity is conducted in a timely manner and that no tasks are forgotten or left undone?

Customer service gone wrong

In Atlas CRM, you can manage your sales funnel by dragging the sale from one funnel stage to another. By clicking on a specific sale you are able to view all the issues for the specific sale. But, how do the sales or marketing representatives stay up to date and ensure that the tasks are conducted on time?

Let's imagine a software development company. They have around 2000 customers and growing. They also have five sales representatives and two marketing experts. They all handle the support activities. However, there are days where the workload is extensively high and they have to manage many tasks at once.

One day, two customers called in back-to-back. One customer was requesting support and the other customer was requesting a discount on their quote. The two tasks were assigned to one sales representative. So he made issues in Jira for both customers.

Unfortunately, due to the high demand for support on that day, the sales representative was unable to respond back to the customers on that day.

This resulted to the company receiving a low customer support rating.
