A sales professional lives a dual life—swift and agile while pitching the value proposition to a prospect, but held back by paperwork when sealing the deal. With multiple prospects and opportunities in the pipeline, a sales professional encounters a great deal of paperwork and the print-fill-sign-scan routine every day. On an average, sales folks spend more than one-third (36%) of their time on administrative tasks, which leaves them with less time to focus on what matters the most – closing deals.
