SalesDirector.ai vs. Troops

Any sales director that needs better insight into the strength of the opportunities in the sales pipeline can use the program. And no additional information needs to be entered into SalesDirector. The reps can do what they normally do and SalesDirector will start collecting information from CRM, emails, calendar and call logs to start building an overview of the deal and its likelihood to close in the time frame selected by the rep. Any sales leader that wants to make better sales forecasts or wants to coach their reps to be more effective and successful will benefit from the program.

If you use a CRM (Salesforce, Hubspot, etc.), and a work communication system (Slack, Teams), this product will be extremely helpful

• Opportunity Analysis - provides objective analysis and feedback based on activity and the depth of the relationships needed to close an opportunity.
• Forecasting - provides excellent information on committed, upside and pipeline deals, and provides great insight into the health of the deals contained within
• Integrates - Provides seamless integration, and leverages data from multiple sources to provide its analysis and guidance. Emails, meetings, and contacts are all gotten from Microsoft Exchange, and married with the opportunity information coming from Microsoft CRM. Elements like relationship mapping are added by SalesDirector.ai, and these combined data sets provide insights not easily obtained by these various sources individually.
• Reporting - An ever growing set of reports that helps sales people and sales managers improve their approaches and performance.

• Troops reduces the amount of time reps spend in SFDC
• Troops reminds users to log calls at the end of every day for better compliance

• I don't have enough experience with this or other sales forecasting, sales coaching tools to recommend changes. The interface isn't perhaps the prettiest I have seen, but it gives the user the information in an easy to understand form. And most sales reps hate any new system, and all of ours seemed to be able to use the software and get information about their deals from the software quickly after they started using it.

• One thing I would like is more customization regarding the notifications I receive. Letting a user make edits to the certain notifications they get could be nice.
• Troops opens a new tab/browser every time I click on a new lead. It makes things difficult to organize with multiple tabs open.

I personally haven't had to deal with Troops customer support. However, I went to a Troops hosted event in Santa Monica recently and it was amazing!

SalesDirector is more comprehensive and advanced than the add-ins I've tried.

We looked at the native Salesforce "integration" with Slack, but it was brief. Troops was so much stronger that it wasn't much of a consideration.

• The biggest positive has to be the time put back in my day.
