New tech Start-up “Touch” ready to save salespeople half a billion hours of wasted time each year
according to research by Freshworks salespeople waste a combined 516 million hours navigating through clunky software forced upon them by management; causing $8.3 billion in lost productivity in the US alone.
“No matter what they tell you, the CRM wasn’t built for the salesperson,” Says Sachin Pabari, CEO of Touch. “The fact they sell directly to senior management, means they have to prioritise management features, which ends up in a slow and clunky product. We’ve turned this on its head, putting the salesperson back in control and focussing on perfecting only the tools they need to thrive.”
Touch works together with the CRM to give a salesperson a blazingly fast interface, while keeping all the data carefully inside the CRM for their managers.
