Salesforce High Velocity Sales: How To Easily Empower Your Sales Team

In today’s hyperconnected world, it can be assumed that sales processes have moved from physical spaces to the online environment. In fact, Gartner research revealed that virtual sales roles are growing 15 times faster than field sales roles.

However, as virtual sales grow exponentially, so do concerns about making them more productive. According to the Salesforce State of Sales report, a virtual sales rep only spends 32% of their workday selling. The rest of the time is spent researching information, recording notes, deciding which prospects to call, and preparing for the next call. They also have to switch between up to six different tools to do their job.

To fix this problem, Salesforce, at the forefront of modern business technology, developed a solution that is optimized to ensure and enable sales reps to focus on what they do best: selling.

What is Salesforce High Velocity Sales?

Salesforce High Velocity Sales is a Sales Cloud solution designed to accelerate and extend the sales process. The name of this solution is being changed to Sales Engagement. This rebranding is intended to bundle the High Velocity Sales tools with other Salesforce marketing and service tools.

In this way, Sales Engagement guarantees the maximum use of each interaction with the client on a single platform. It can be considered as a CRM extension used to optimize the native capabilities of Salesforce.

Sales Engagement platforms are highly in demand. In fact, according to Gartner, 92% of companies rank these platforms as vital to the success of their teams. Taking into account other stats that prove its importance:
