Mapping the Route to Success in Field Sales

Introduction

In the field sales industry, sales representatives often visit multiple locations in a day to meet with clients and potential customers. The efficiency of their travel can have a significant impact on their productivity and sales success. Route optimization software can help in this regard by optimizing the sales representative’s travel routes, enabling them to visit more clients in less time.

Challenges

One of the major challenges a field sales company was facing was the unpredictability of traffic and road conditions. Sales representatives also needed to make last-minute changes to their schedule, which disrupted the optimized route. Additionally, it was difficult to balance the competing priorities of visiting as many clients as possible while also giving priority to high-priority or time-sensitive clients.
