Main Navigation
The main navigation of the app divides the solution by Home, Quota, Leads, Contests and More for extra features. Each screen provides the exact information that the sales agent needs to keep track of. This saves time as he looks at it first thing in the morning and stays with him throughout the day, rather than having to log in to his computer to access it
More
The More tab offers features such as the leaderboard for the sales agent to view his performance against his colleagues, Statements to view the breakdown of his earnings, and finally Coaching Messages with his sales manager.
Sales Manager App
In the Sales Manager app, a manager can view his sales teams, monitor teams performance and agent performance. The manager can also look at the leads assigned to the agents and offer coaching on the leads.
