Not all sales apps have this capability, so make sure the one you choose won’t let you down in the middle of a sales pitch. The ability to sync data once the connection is restored means you won’t lose any orders you’ve taken, whatever happens.

2. Customization capabilities

Make it your unique e-catalog with smart search and filter options, custom fields, and a look and feel to match your brand and your way of doing business. Even better if you can group your products into product categories and subcategories, then segment your products further using business filters such as stock levels, price levels, and valid-through dates.

3. Centralized platform

When you decide to invest in a mobile sales app, it won’t be as effective as it can be unless it’s part of a business to business sales platform. Find one that’s flexible and modular, so it can serve your other B2B sales needs such as powering your B2B eCommerce, retail execution solution, etc.

There are many benefits of a platform allowing brands to connect with buyers in a powerful way not just through instant ordering, but also via swift communication, data visibility and allowing your customer to feel in control.

4. Support for multiple devices

Bring your own device (BYOD) to the field whether its Android or iOS, employing a BYOD strategy for your sales operations means that you are not required to standardize and buy expensive devices for your sales teams.

Make sure to use these four indispensable features as a strong starting point when evaluating a B2B sales app to ensure to maximize your success and stay ahead of the competition!

Conclusion
