Our clients are corporate entities that directly employ a sales team.
SaleStrength and ActivityQwest
have been installed in hundreds of corporations representing many diverse industries, selling both tangible and intangible products and services. The results have been consistently the same: sales managers become more effective, resulting in sales representatives who sell more. Executives of our
client corporations have referred to SaleStrength and ActivityQwest as "the most important sales management processes ever developed."
"We were looking for a tool that would help both sales and management increase and track 'expansive sales' activity; seeking new opportunities vs. reactionary sales and repeat activity.
We developed several 'home grown' methods to manage growth oriented actions that in comparison to SaleStrength were quite cumbersome. SaleStrength quickly proved to be the easiest and most comprehensive tool to use. The easy access to SaleStrength on-line (24/7/365) enabled us to have instant and up to date activity management data. Since installing SaleStrength our lead follow up, sales to new customers and sales of new products to existing customers has increased significantly. The program more than paid for itself in the first full month of operation.
The SaleStrength System only takes us minutes a day and it provides quick daily or weekly snapshots for management to determine growth activity levels. Our Sales people now have an easy, unbiased, time-saving metric to manage their own performance."

"We deployed SaleStrength over a year ago, and I now wonder how we managed our Sales Team without this tool. While we were diligent in inputting our efforts into our CRM program, as a business owner I did not have a easy means to validate my subjective view of our performances. Along comes SaleStrength. I am now able to replace my gut feelings with real performance predictions in less than 15 minutes a day. It's impact to our Reps input time has been absolutely negligible compared to the productivity gains they have realized by using this program.
The folks at SaleStrength insights to measuring real performance versus "busy" performance was eye opening. I'm sold on the program and so are our reps. In a year, we have effectively doubled our productive efforts with our sales team. You'll never guess were that shows up on our financials . . . the bottom line. I can prove that!"

"We
have found SaleStrength to be an invaluable sales management tool. It
has increased the dialog from our sales force to management and has
caused our sales managers to become proactive in the sales process. We
now know who needs our help long before it shows up as a lost
opportunity.
SaleStrength has dramatically improved our
salesmen's behavior by focusing them on more proactive activity every
day, giving us a 24% increase of all daily selling activities. This has
resulted in a noticeable increase of new, first time, customers as well
as significant increase in sales of new products to current accounts.
We can point to numerous new accounts we have closed as a direct result
of participation in SaleStrength. Our anticipated revenue pipe line has
grown by 74% and SaleStrength is one of the keys factors in our 14%
increase in sales during the period we have had this system in place. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your help!"

"SaleStrength
keeps me focused on those activities that eventually lead to production
(dials, contacts, appointments). When the blanks are left blank then I
know my revenue will be blank." Richard Bishop

"I
have now installed SaleStrength in two different diversified industrial
companies (Parker Hannifin and IDEX Corporation) with the same very
positive results. In both cases I had solid sales teams that struggled
to proactively get out of their standard routines to find new business.
SaleStrength is one of the key reasons that I was able to significantly
improve our success at new customers as well as gain new business in
our existing ones.
What I have come to really appreciate is the simplicity of
SaleStrength. It is easy to use, is not cumbersome for the Salesforce,
and gives management excellent oversight as to the proactivity of their
team. In literally a few minutes a day, SaleStrength creates a
connectivity from sales leadership to sales force to channel partners
and customers that could never happen via traditional call reports, CRM
database entries, etc. It is quite literally the missing link in the
process, and now I cannot imagine a sales cycle without SaleStrength at
the heart of the process.
I highly recommend the SaleStrength team as a partner for any business that is looking to expand their current sales reach.
Thanks Don."

"Being
a new employee, the day to day operations are hectic. SaleStrength
helps me focus on my goal and conditions me to be doing correct actions
to achieve ultimate success. At times I feel that SaleStrength manages
me, but that's not all bad. It keeps me focused on the items that will
help me succeed. Instead of being scatter shot in my approach, it makes
my efforts concentrated on items that are essential."

"SaleStrength
is an internet application that focuses our sales people on doing more
selling activities properly every day. SaleStrength provides all levels
of our management team with instantaneous analyses.
I
have successfully implemented and have been receiving benefits from
this system, for the past 5 months. We have actually received a 160%
return on our investment with this one of a kind system.
SaleStrength
has changed the way I manage our sales peoples' activities by causing
sales managers and I to become proactive. I now know WHO on the sales
team needs help and WHY they need help long before sales are lost.
Through
SaleStrength I have positively changed the behavior of our sales people
by giving them the structure, discipline and focus that they were
lacking on a daily basis. SaleStrength has dramatically increased the
amount of proactive selling activities being performed every day, as
well as increasing the quality of those activities. I attribute, in
part, our increase in sales to participation in this program.
This is truly amazing stuff."

"As
a nationwide wealth management program, we needed a tool that would
provide feedback on those activities which directly resulted in a sale
from all our programs nationwide, in a timely and consistent manner.
This, web based program, with easy and convenient access from any
internet based PC at any time of day, provided the answer.
Salestrength
has become an absolute essential component of our wealth management
program, providing management with the tools to monitor sales
activities while identifying opportunities to "coach" members of our
teams towards greater success.
Having
used SaleStrength for over 5 years now, I have witnessed improvements
and enhancements which have dramatically improved the value from this
program.
The upcoming
"ActivityQuest" enhancement ensures that this program remains the
ultimate solution for any sales manager looking to keep their finger on
the pulse of their sales force, no matter the geographic diversity or
product focus."

"Don,
I want to thank you for your help with SaleStrength RE Team. This
system has helped me with organization and consistency. SaleStrength RE
team allows me to stay proactively involved with my sales team in a
systematic and concise way. All of my agents use the system... we love
it."

"I
want to take a moment to recognize someone who is consistently in the
top of the SaleStrength reporting. Tom Adams participated in the first
rollout of SaleStrength in January. Since then his overall production
has increased by 58%. While at the same time his appointment setting
activity has increased by 39%. In fact, Don McCreadie is right with his
prediction thus far. Tom is on track to double his revenue by the end
of the year. He had a record March and just beat that record for April.
Is this a coincidence - could be. While we can explain this twenty
different ways, the evidence is what it is... he is on track to
doubling his income since using SaleStrength. Tom makes his dials every
day, he has focused on his appointment setting activities, attaining
56%. "the target zone is 56% - 64%. There is a mechanism that keeps him
accountable for being as productive as possible... It's SaleStrength.
The evidence of his success since he's started using SaleStrength can't
be disputed. It works!"

"SaleStrength
has a lot of strong points for me, as a sales representative. It is a
great tool for recording my selling activities and showing me quickly
what changes need to be made in order to increase sales. Through my use
of SaleStrength I have a stronger focus, daily, on business from new
customers and a better awareness of all the activities that lead to
closing more sales. It is quick and easy to use and can be used
anywhere with a computer and an internet connection."

"I
always wanted a way to accurately measure the activities of my agents
in order to help them achieve their goals. I feel that SaleStrength is
the best program, today, that gets that job done in real time."

"This
has been a great year for Central Virginia and I contribute a lot of
the success to SaleStrength. It has been very valuable as a coaching
tool for my team. Some if my reps have noticed that they were spending
a lot of time during the day on none revenue producing activities. This
system allows them to make sure they are focusing on the correct
activities each day... I highly recommend this to any manager to help
improve his or her team."
Ron Kiser

"Since starting with SaleStrength this exciting program has evolved to be much more than just another sales tracking tool.
I
quickly got the ASM's logging on daily and focused on achieving 100%
productivity each day. What I didn't realize until the last couple of
weeks is the clear correlation between their activity on SaleStrength
and the success of the Northeast Region. It allows me to recognize,
quickly, the whole story for each ASM, by a click.
This become an invaluable tool and I look to continue growing with SaleStrength and its analysis with each time that I log on."

"SaleStrength
has given us a very simple non time consuming tool of knowing where we
stand with regard to sales activity on a daily basis. It allows us to
"coach" our reps more frequently instead of looking in the rear view
mirror and wonder what the heck happened?
One of my reps told me that he now knows exactly what activity he needs to do on a daily basis.
I believe my top producer is more cognizant of who she spends her time with.
One of my reps has found this system to be helpful in maintaining more
consistency in her sales and prospecting activities.
When I asked for her comment, she sighed and said "it's like exercise,
you know that it is good for you even though you don't necessarily
enjoy doing it".
And finally, there is the Don Mc Creadie factor. Not only have you
created the system for us, you have been very supportive in helping us
to learn the system, you have helped us to steer our reps behavior in
the right direction and made changes that suit our way of doing
business."

"You
and I had a conversation back in the fall, but I did not sign up at
that time. (Wish I had now after using the system for a few days.)...
Your program has added new energy and focus to my Real Estate career,
and I thank you."

"I
love this system! It is forcing me to get rid of marketing junk that
was consuming me, so I can focus on sales. As you can see we're showing
property almost everyday now and we have 4 new listings, 3 new
properties in escrow, 3 new offers on one of our listings and 3 more
appointments set to list or write new offers.
I have a mortgage branch manager that has been following our progress
and wants to know if you have a multi-user mortgage SaleStrength RE
system that they can implement."

"I
think SS does a couple of good things. As we all know this business is
a numbers game and SS makes you accountable for your daily activity. It
also gives you a system to track what you are doing and provides good
feedback."

"We have been using the products from SaleStrength since 1998.
These
tools give our sales people the structure and discipline needed each
day to focus on proactive selling activities. As a result of
SaleStrength our managers have faster and more accurate information on
a daily and weekly basis, than they ever had before implementing
SaleStrength.
Continued use of
SaleStrength has increased our daily productivity to levels we did not
think were possible, it is the reason our sales team is more proactive.
If you're ready to make the
commitment to change the behavior of your sales people, then
SaleStrength is the one program that can make it happen. "

"I
have been using the products and services from SaleStrength for quite a
few years now for some of my more important clients. If you're
interested in changing your salespersons and/or sales manager's

can effect that change."

"We
are a 100 year old engineered products manufacturing company with a
stable customer base. One of the biggest challenges that we face is how
to grow our sales greater than GDP. Our salespeople are bombarded by
current customers looking for assistance which leaves little time to
find new business.
SaleStrength
acts as our proactive sales "conscience". It takes only a few moments
to fill out and allows the salesperson to instantly understand where
they are spending their time. In addition, it gives our leadership team
unparallel visibility into the daily activities of the sales team.
Consequently, in six months we went from less than 10% proactive sales
activities to greater than 40% and we have delivered over $2 million in
new revenue.
Thank you SaleStrength!"

"I
am an associate broker with Weichert Realtors. I have been full time in
the real estate business for seven years and part-time for several
years before that. When I started real estate full time, I became
busier than ever, but did not increase my income proportionately.
Once
I found SaleStrength RE, I realized why. Busy does not necessarily
equal productivity. My time was being snatched away by dozens of
activities that were not translating to income. SaleStrength RE has
focused my time and talents on what produces income. Productive
planning is the SaleStrength RE secret. Plan your day, work your plan
and success will come! Doing this daily produces results that you can
take to the bank."
