Knowing the things people complain about, for example, puts salespeople in an excellent position to offer products or services to improve the customer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meeting Scheduler Tool<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: For many salespeople, the constant need to schedule meetings can be a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.thecenterforsalesstrategy.com\/must-have-tools-for-the-top-salespeople\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">productivity killer<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It can also be challenging to stay organized and keep track of all those meetings. The Meeting Scheduler Tool takes care of both issues. It scans calendars to suggest meeting times and then helps the salesperson stay on task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email Analyzer<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: It takes a lot of time to clear an email inbox each morning.

The Email Analyzer can also log each email and update opportunities as required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Headspace and Calm<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: These two applications help busy, stressed-out salespeople re-focus their energy and get to a calmer place.
