Territory Manager 2.5 Sales Rep Do All Software
Software Solutions is now shipping Territory Manager 2.5., a major upgrade to its Macintosh software program for sales reps. Territory Manager 2.5 continues to separate itself from traditional contact management software by handling all aspects of a sale. In addition to a new native-Power Mac version, new features include a simpler short-menus mode that allows novice users to get up and running quickly, more custom fields, enhanced mailing functions and a variety of other improvements that help sales reps be even more effective.
According to Bob Wheeler, president of Software Solutions, &147;The concept for Territory Manager arose from decades of experience in sales and sales management, and new features are developed with input from a wide variety professional sales representatives across the U.S. Our goal is to provide a complete solution for the sales rep, which will keep him or her in front of the right prospect at the right time with the right product or service to close the sale.&148; Sales specific features include forecasting, sales and lead analysis, and project sales.
Sales Features
Forecasting: users can plan forecasts monthly or quarterly. Each report can be keyed to show changes from previous copies, so reports to management are simplified.
Sales Analyses: (pyramid, etc.) analyses are available including a &147;Pyramid&148; report, which graphically shows the sales rep how s/he is doing at prospecting.
Project Sales: most sales and contact management programs assume that the user is selling to a single person at a single company. In reality, the sales environment is often very complex with multiple decision makers and influencers from several different companies involved in a single purchase. Territory Manager&146;s Project Sales Module allows the user to keep track of all the details of a particular project, assign calls, to do&146;s, contacts and forecasts to the project, and even plan a course of action.

New Reports: a variety of new reports provide improved ways to examine and report sales activities and new analyses help the user make better decisions about future sales activities.
