Sales leads and customer needs: Top apps for sales reps and small business owners

Running a small business is a rewarding career, but it’s also filled with all of the responsibilities that come along with growing the company — sales, finding new clients, budgeting and marketing. Sometimes it seems as if there aren’t enough hours in the day to get to everything.

The good news is that with today’s mobile technology, there’s more ways than ever to keep your business growing no matter where you are. Running or repping your business can be a 24-hour duty, and app developers have had people like you in mind for years now. Here are a few apps that can help you finish all of your duties, wherever you may be.

Automatic Call Recorder

The Automatic Call Recorder for Me app has all of the features you need to record and archive important phone conversations from anywhere.

The benefits of recording important calls are endless: you don’t have to take notes during the conversation, you can still take important calls as you travel to and from the office and you will have all of the information you need at your fingertips.

The app can be setup to automatically record all phone calls from your contact list, and you can even have it record calls from unknown numbers if you want. The app has a nice design and is very simple to use. You can sort your recorded conversations by date or topic, and you can create tabs for high-priority calls. You can even generate bookmarks during the conversation so you can easily refer back top important points later.

inSitu

This app is designed to make sales and invoicing a breeze from any mobile device, allowing you to keep track of everything while you are on the go.

You can send invoices directly to your customers through the app, and you can track documents and display pricing information, as well as follow customer payments and the activities of all of your reps. It also has a built-in map feature that you can use to save your customer locations.

You can easily export data to excel, so you can create spreadsheets with all of the information the app provides. You can also look at charts and analytics directly on the app whenever you want.

Concur

If your sales team frequently travels to other locations, or can just rack up expenses in your hometown, then Concur is a great app to help you keep track of everything.

Concur allows your sales team to create profiles to track their expenses, which they can upload by taking a picture of their receipts, or by entering the information manually. They can submit expense reports through the app as well, and you can approve them with a click. You can even book flights and hotels through the app, so it can serve as a one-stop app for all of your expense tracking needs.

Keep up with all of your responsibilities by using these apps today.
