Stop Wasting Money: How Automation Can Save Your Sales Team AU$60,000 (or More) a Year

Let's face it, good salespeople are an investment. In Australia, a skilled sales rep can easily set you back AU$100,000 to AU$150,000 per year. And that's not even including the additional costs of recruitment fees and training programs. 

Could an administrative assistant help free up your time? Let’s crunch those numbers. On average, hiring a general in-house administrative assistant will cost $34.76/hour ($5500/month). That is $67K/year without factoring in benefits, training, recruitment etc. 

Either option is a significant investment! But what if you could significantly reduce these costs while simultaneously boosting your sales output?

Believe it or not, automation in your CRM can be the key to unlocking this double benefit.

Automation: A Journey, Not a Destination

While automation offers a wealth of benefits, it's important to remember it's a journey, not a destination. Don't feel pressured to automate everything at once.

The key to successful sales automation is a step-by-step approach.  Start by identifying the most critical pain points in your sales process. These are the areas where repetitive tasks are eating into valuable time or communication inconsistencies are hindering progress.

Here's a real-world example: I recently spoke with a highly successful homebuilder client. Their primary goal was to enforce process and homogenise communication across their network of franchisees.

Instead of diving headfirst into a complex automation strategy, they took a targeted approach.  They identified the single most important step in their sales process, the most impactful reminder for their reps, and the most crucial email template for client communication. By automating these core elements, they streamlined their process and ensured consistent messaging across the board.

This incremental approach allowed them to experience the power of automation without feeling overwhelmed by the technology. As they saw the positive results, they were then able to confidently explore and implement additional automations.
