    In my years in sales and running business operations, I believe he key is staying ahead of issues before they disrupt momentum. I regularly assess whether our tools actually serve the sales process or just add complexity. Sales teams need to be empowered, not bogged down by clunky systems, so I make sure they’re trained to troubleshoot basic issues instead of waiting on IT. Most importantly, I keep an open line for feedback. Sales is about speed and efficiency, and tech should accelerate, not hinder, that process.

    To tackle tech bottlenecks in EdTech sales, assess and upgrade tools e.g., switching to a self-improving AI CRM helps an online course provider improve lead tracking. Train teams on troubleshooting LMS issues to reduce downtime, ensuring smoother enrollments. Implement a quick feedback system, like a Google Hangouts group for tech issues, allowing faster resolutions and uninterrupted sales processes. These steps enhance efficiency, improve student enrollments, and drive better conversions.

    En mi experiencia para evitar cuellos de botella en las operaciones de ventas relacionados con la tecnología, se debe considerar: - Automatizar tareas repetitivas, integrando eficientemente herramientas de gestión de datos para evitar silos de información y monitorear constantemente el desempeño tecnológico. - Eligir soluciones escalables que crezcan con el negocio, y flexibles en caso de diversificación. - Prioriza la seguridad para evitar interrupciones. - Generar capacitaciones focalizadas, ágiles y periódicas. Con estos elementos bien alineados, el equipo podrá enfocarse en vender en lugar de lidiar con problemas técnicos.

Improve Collaboration and Communication Optimize Reporting and Dashboards Continuous Monitoring -Regularly track the impact of tech solutions and automate fixes for emerging issues.

    À mon avis, pour surmonter les goulets dans mon domaine de vente en assurance, il faut adopter une approche proactive et stratégique. -Un CRM performant et bien configuré. -La technologie évolue rapidement, et il est crucial d'avoir des formations régulières garantissent une meilleure adoption des solutions et une plus grande efficacité. -Assurer une présence cohérente sur plusieurs canaux (téléphone, e-mail, réseaux sociaux, applications mobiles).Un bon alignement entre les canaux évite les pertes d’informations et améliore la satisfaction client. En mettant en place ces actions, nous pouvons transformer les défis technologiques en opportunités de croissance et de fidélisation. Et comme on dit toujours, communication is the key.
