A business without an active topline (sales) never gets to the bottom line (profits). The cornerstone of getting to an active topline is to have an active prospect hunting process and converting prospects into customers.\u00a0 The best sales reps do this consistently and without fail. Consequently, the best apps are non-obtrusive. They can be seamlessly adopted over standard practices without creating a need to disrupt daily business practices.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these softwares and mobile applications are expensive and out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/business\/top-6-benefits-of-crm-for-small-business\/\">reach for small businesses<\/a> and SMEs.

If you have calling agents who need to do product demos through screen-sharing or video conferencing, Zoom is ideal. It is free to use for meetings that last upto 40 minutes for upto 100 participants per call. For one-to-one calls there are no time restrictions for call durations. When a simple phone call doesn\u2019t cut it, a video call adds a new dynamic to sales meetings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17024 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1-300x140.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1-768x359.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1-30x13.png 30w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.the-next-tech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19172330\/Picture1.png 891w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>GoDial<\/strong><strong>: Auto Calling Application<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you are a business that needs to make hundreds of outbound sales calls in a day, <a href=\"https:\/\/godial.cc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoDial<\/a> might just be the solution for you.
