It's why top reps use an omnichannel approach to book more meetings.

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS As a leader, it’s part of your job to establish emotional stability. Your team has to feel their best on the inside to produce their best work. That’s why we surveyed 300+ sales professionals and found that: Burnout, difficulty to stay motivated, and struggle to keep healthy work/life balance are 3 of the top 5 challenges sellers face. Here’s how you can help your team: Check in with empathy. Dedicate time during 1:1s to truly hear how your sellers are doing. Reduce the amount of mundane administrative tasks by automating them with technology. Give your sellers time back to focus on what really matters. THAT’S how you’ll retain your most valuable asset – your people.
