Sales Tip of the Day: Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency
There seems to be more and more great tools for inside sales intelligence these days. More information gives you an advantage, but it can also put you at a disadvantage if you have to manage more tabs, more programs, and more cutting and pasting. Here are some tips to streamline the work process. Some of them are obvious, but just in case... (I still remember finding out about Shift + Tab. What a glorious day that was.) Learning these will save you a lot of time compared to using the mouse.You can also put a set of tabs in one bookmarks folder and open the whole set at once. Developing a routine order for repetitive tasks makes work more efficient and reduces the brainpower used on trivial things, so you can clear your mind and focus on conversations with your prospects.
