In today’s sales landscape, understanding the finer details of your conversations can make the difference between closing a deal and losing an opportunity. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce “Keywords”, the newest addition to Salesroom’s suite of tools designed to streamline your sales process and give you deeper insights into your entire sales cycle.
Why Keywords Matter in Your Sales Strategy
When it comes to sales, details are everything. Every word exchanged during a conversation can hold vital information—whether it’s about a competitor, a product feature, or a customer’s pain point. However, keeping track of these details across countless meetings and different team members can seem virtually impossible.
This is where Keywords comes into play. By tracking specific words, terms, or phrases, Keywords helps you to monitor what’s being discussed most often, identify trends over time, and zero in on the moments that truly matter in your sales conversations. It’s like having a magnifying glass on your entire sales process, revealing insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Unpacking the Keywords Feature: How It Works
Think of Keywords as your conversation detective. It quietly listens in on your meetings, tracking up to 50 different words or phrases that you’ve flagged as important. Whether it’s mentions of competitors, product names, or key customer concerns, Keywords makes it easy to keep tabs on the language that shapes your sales interactions.
1. Tracking Conversations in Real-Time
Once you’ve set up your list of keywords, Salesroom gets to work right away. It processes your existing meetings (focusing only on those where buyers were present) and continues to track every conversation going forward. The process is swift, ensuring that you don’t miss a beat when it comes to gathering insights.
2. Visualizing the Data
What good is all that data if you can’t make sense of it? Salesroom’s Keywords feature goes beyond just tracking words—it gives you the tools to visualize and interpret the information in meaningful ways.
You’ll see trends mapped out over time, allowing you to track the frequency of specific terms. This visual representation makes it easy to spot shifts in conversation topics—whether a competitor’s name is cropping up more often or a particular product feature is gaining traction.
3. Context is Everything
It’s not just about what was said, but how it was said. With Keywords, you can dive deeper into the context of each mention. A simple click on any tracked word will show you exactly how it was used in conversation, who said it, and in which meeting it was mentioned. This context is crucial for understanding the true impact of certain terms on your sales outcomes.
The Impact of Keywords: Real-World Applications
So, how does this feature translate into real-world results? Here are a few ways Keywords can make a difference:
1. Competitor Intelligence
Ever wonder how often your competitors are coming up in conversations? Keywords lets you track these mentions with ease. By understanding when and how competitors are being discussed, you can better tailor your sales strategy to address any concerns or objections your prospects might have.
2. Product Feedback
Sales calls are a goldmine of feedback, but it’s easy for valuable insights to slip through the cracks. With Keywords, you can track how often specific product features are being mentioned, giving you a clearer picture of what’s resonating with your customers and what might need more attention.
Pro-tip: Salesroom also makes it easy for you to share these insights across teams with auto-generated meeting highlights based on keywords. When you jump into a specific moment in a meeting, you can share the highlight in just a few clicks!
3. Identifying Training Opportunities
Are certain objections or questions coming up repeatedly in your calls? Keywords can highlight these patterns, helping you to identify areas where your team might benefit from additional training or resources and put sales coaching on auto-pilot. By addressing these common pain points, you can improve your sales process and boost your team’s confidence. (Did you know that nearly 90% of sales professionals do not feel very confident when engaging with customers? Read more about it here.)
