Why a Salesperson Should Also Be a Good Project Manager

Sales teams often “struggle” with the CRM platform they operate. Client contact information is not detailed enough, meeting notes are missing, or time is wasted creating duplicate records. And the inability to sync information across company tools may ultimately lead to the loss of a potential customer or sale. The more we know about our customer, the more likely we are going to close the deal. But is CRM the only thing a sales team needs to succeed?

Manage sales the same way as your projects?

At first glance, it may seem that the project team and the sales team don't have much in common. Their worlds are different and so are their goals. A project manager is budget-conscious, often meticulous, and constantly time-pressured. The business team representative, on the other hand, tends to be very outgoing with a confident demeanor. Yet the best salespeople can function as adept project managers who guide their team members to successfully meet their goals. In fact, the fundamentals of project skills are not that different from those of business development.

The sales team actually has the same needs as the project team. It needs to identify the right target, it needs to use resources efficiently and its pipeline contains various milestones. It can be said that the sales process is somewhat similar to the project management process. So is it possible for the sales team to achieve better results and improve efficiency by utilizing project management tools?
