In sales, the main focus should be selling. Yet, many sales reps find themselves bogged down with repetitive digital tasks in CRM tools like Salesforce.

Research indicate that sales reps spend 64.8% of their time on non-selling activities, including data entry, email management, and logging leads. This leaves only 35.2% of their time for actual selling. Consequently, 57% of sales reps regularly miss their sales quotas.

Sales leaders are now prioritising efficiency, aiming to shift their teams from time-consuming manual tasks to active selling. This is where AI sales tools like Cykel can help.
