Slack’s ability to help sales teams is evident in the numbers: 296 percent return on investment; more than 15% increase in closed deals; 13% faster staff onboarding; additional income of $2.6 million due to increased sales velocity

However, Bill Patterson Salesforce’s General Manager for Sales Cloud says that these figures only scratch the surface of potential business opportunities when it comes to combining Slack and Sales Cloud.

Patterson spoke to us about the digital deal room, simplicity over complexity, and how Salesforce’s Slack can help sales teams prepare.

Q. What were your thoughts when you initially learned about Salesforce’s acquisition of Slack?

Slack, the top-rated interaction platform in the world, teamed up with Salesforce to create a new way for innovators to think about how they can help businesses connect with their customers.

Q. How would integrating Slack into the existing Sales Cloud to develop Slack-First Sales benefit our clients in a meaningful way?

There are many ways to use Slack throughout the sales process.

Sales is a team sport. Channels are a way to bring together all the team members working around a customer/deal. You can use many channels to manage your accounts, deals, or upcoming opportunities.

Slack reduces formality in communication and streamlines company processes.

Instead of sending long-form emails to confirm the deal or offer, you can reply with a quick thumbs-up or thumbs-down emoji.

You don’t need to stop doing what you are doing to transition to another context. It speeds up the transaction in a natural, humorous, and amusing manner.

We’ll integrate Slack into the sales process from onboarding and training salespeople to identifying and engaging expertise throughout the company, to using Slack Connect for customers, partners, and suppliers.

Salesforce has already begun to change its sales process by becoming Slack-First.

Salesforce has already seen a rise in engagement. I am eager to see how other customers respond.

Q. You indicated in the “Built by Humans” podcast that calls-per-hour is an outmoded statistic and that we should focus more on the quality of salespeople’s connections with their clients.

How important is Slack in all of this?

Slack Interact allows businesses to securely communicate with their customers outside their borders.

All interactions with customers include proposals, sales pitches, negotiations, and even negotiation. It’s not enough to send or forward an email to let your customers know you are connected.

Slack allows you to see the entire back-and-forth and invite others. You can also get real-time replies.

You can delegate some tasks to the background so you can focus on building stronger relationships with your clients.

Q. You noted that catching up on an existing account and learning what transpired in the past is a difficult component of sales.

What are the advantages of using Slack or Sales Cloud to speed up and make this process more efficient?

It is not uncommon for account managers or salespeople to take on new customers. You might have been given the task of maintaining and growing relationships with someone who has left the company.

To catch up on accounts, there is a lot of manual labor — for example, phone calls.

This is no longer true with Slack. Slack makes it easy to search and streamline the communication history of salespeople, which allows them to quickly get up to speed.

Q. According to statistics, Slack’s digital Deal Rooms help shorten sales cycles.

What are Deal Rooms? How do they work?

A digital deal room can be described as a Slack channel that allows us to invite all the participants and store all the relevant information.

It offers all the automation and workflow experiences individuals require to prompt and nudge others if they aren’t taking certain steps to move a deal forward.

Salesforce data can be modified by teams directly through Slack. As the deal progresses through the sales cycle, you may modify the deal size or set a closing date.

Q. Field sales professionals face unique challenges

What can Slack First Sales do to help you cope with loneliness?

Slack has been a great tool for me to connect with my peers from all over the globe.

This digital water cooler can foster a sense of community among your colleagues and work groups.

Apps like Donut in Slack can automatically schedule virtual coffee meetings to facilitate building relationships.

We’ve learned a lot about how difficult it can be to manage the division between work at home and work in the office. Slack is my favorite feature.

You will know when I’m leaving and when I’ll be back until the morning. I can spend more time with my family and don’t have to work late.

Many consumers that I have interacted with find that being able to pause and then return in the morning makes them more resilient.

Sale is a job with a cyclical nature. The job involves finding potential purchasers, preparing a business case, and negotiating terms. Finally, closing the deal.

If internal coordination is sloppy at any stage, all the labor that has gone into preparing for a contract can be lost. No team wants that.

Effective communication and agility are crucial when managing large sales teams like those at Slack.

Our sales team uses Slack to communicate with each other, including their colleagues, data, and tools.

We spoke to several salespeople from all levels to find out how they use Slack to serve their clients.
