Field sales reps need to commute several miles each day to meet customers at their locations, and the number of customers they serve depends on how their routes are planned. Ineffective routes require unnecessary time and fuel expenses. Your reps will get tired from driving long, poorly planned routes, and clients will be forced to wait, making them more stressed and less likely to recommend your services to others.
Route planning and optimization can help you identify the fastest and most efficient routes, drastically reducing fuel costs and the time field sales reps spend behind the wheel.
The benefits of planning and optimizing routes:
- Enhanced customer experience: Giving your customer an accurate ETA so that they can plan their schedule accordingly contributes to a good first impression.
- Better field sales rep safety: Drivers will be taking optimal routes that consider factors such as weather conditions, road conditions, and traffic congestion.
- Increased field sales rep productivity: Using the best route possible to reach a destination reduces travel time, allowing your reps to see more customers in a single day.
- Improved fuel efficiency: Bring down fuel consumption, and reduce the wear and tear on your company vehicles, lowering maintenance costs.
More time = More selling
