Simplifying sales and sales tracking
No matter the industry in which your business is classified, you probably have to deal with some form of sales. You could sell ad space, products, or your services to either consumers or other businesses. It doesn’t matter what you sell, what does matter is how you sell it and how you keep track of your sales. If you’re not a salesperson by trade, keeping your sales organized may be the bane of your existence, but it doesn’t have to be. It can actually be simple, intuitive, and convenient according to tech startup Stride.
Stride is centered on managing your sales, contacts, and allocated tasks. This simple application allows you to keep track of everything, including what progress your employees have made to close sales, all in one place. Every update or change you make is in real-time. This means that you and all of your employees will always be on the same page for every sale and for every client.
Improving company efficiency, adding metrics
One of Stride’s best features is its simplicity. The company asserts that there is beauty in the uncomplicated, and they’ve centered their entire approach on that one concept. As such, all the complexities that you may experience with other programs with a similar purpose are made straightforward and direct. Stride makes it so there’s no need to search around the app for the information you need. Everything is perfectly accessible and it’s easy to use. This service was designed for the everyday small business owner, not for large corporations that have whole departments to keep track of this sort of thing. Now small businesses don’t have to sacrifice efficiency.
As you know, metrics are crucial to the improvement and progression of your business. Stride will send you a weekly email that summarizes the essential points from the week. If you want more information, all you have to do is log in. And the reports are just as simple and straightforward as the app itself.
When it comes to pricing, you have several options to choose from, including a free option. There’s no catch with the free account. You can have up to ten active deals, which just means ten deals that you haven’t quite closed yet. After they’re closed, you can have as many as you want. The same goes for your users and employees—unlimited. Always. If you need more room for active users, you can always upgrade to a plan between nine dollars a month to forty-nine dollars a month, depending on your business needs.
