      Introduction to the Sales Operations Function

      Sales operations are a set of business activities and procedures that support business strategy and objectives while assisting a sales organization in operating successfully and efficiently.

      Since the early 2000s, an increasing number of businesses have created departments within their organizations dedicated to sales operations in order to set up sales procedures, track sales KPIs, and adopt the use of sales tools.

      The role of a Sales Operations Manager is to oversee the implementation of these processes and procedures across different departments. Sales Ops Managers also ensure that the company is tracking key metrics related to its sales activities.

      Sales Ops Managers need strong analytical skills as well as excellent communication skills because they will be working with many different teams within an organization on a regular basis. They must also be able to multitask effectively because they will often be juggling multiple projects at once.

      A recent study by the Harvard Business Review found that salespeople who spend less time on non-sales tasks and more time selling are more effective.

      The study found that the concentration on sales operations and the achievement of sales targets are directly related. This is because when salespeople get bogged down in non-sales tasks, they lose focus and become less productive.

      So how can we reduce the amount of time salespeople spend on non-sales chores? It comes down to 2 things:

      Provide tools that help salespeople stay on track with their daily activities.

      Sales reps are busy people. They have a lot of goals to achieve on a daily basis, and if they're not staying organized, they can easily get off track.

      It's important that your sales team has access to the tools they need to succeed in their daily activities, so make sure you're providing them with what they need. For example, if your company uses software to manage leads, give your reps access to it so they can log their progress throughout the day and stay updated with any important information about their leads. This way, they'll always know how well they're doing in meeting their goals.

      2. Make sure you have a system or process in place.

      You don't want your sales team spending their time trying to remember what they were supposed to do next. If you don’t have a system in place, they can get easily confused and waste hours trying to figure out where they left off.

      When your sales reps are in the field, they need to be able to keep track of what they’re doing. They may be calling on new potential clients, so it’s critical that they remember how many calls they’ve made this week so far and who they called last. If they don’t know what they did last week, then it might be hard for them to put together a report at the end of the week.

      Sales Operations is a relatively new term, but the concept has been around for years. Sales managers have long relied on their support and sales operations teams to assist in generating revenue. The recent increase of reliance on sales operations teams is due to the increasing complexity of lead generation, nurturing, and closing. Marketing executives now rely on these same teams to ensure that leads are being transferred correctly and efficiently to sales representatives, and they can rely on Sales Ops to assist in the success of their campaigns. The need for this assistance is even extending beyond the corporate boardroom, as CEOs are looking to these teams to generate revenue now more than ever before. There isn't a department within a business that doesn't rely on Sales Ops in some way, shape or form.

      The biggest reason why sales operations is gaining so much traction is because it's one of few job roles in an organization that can be continually measured against specific KPIs (key performance indicators).
