If you’re on the lookout for digital tools to make more sales, this short list is for you. As an entrepreneur for over 8 years, I learnt an important lesson: if you can’t sell, you won’t succeed regardless of what you aim to do. 

Now, I am not going to go through the soft and personal skills that you need to make more sales (perhaps for another article).

However, I want to point out 3 tools that can considerably help you in getting exposure, prospecting and converting your sales leads. 

Tidio

Tidio has got to be one of my favourite tools of all time. Its primary product is AI-assisted chatbots. 

These chatbots and lead converters are highly customizable, allowing you to tailor your communications with prospective leads. 

Moreover, the Tidio platform in itself is quite user-friendly, and easy to use whilst also offering more service extensions such as email marketing.

Hunter.io

Do you know what’s the worst approach to sales? The cold approach. Generic emails with the opening of “Hello there” or “Greetings” will never work. 

Instead, it’s important to target and create a profile of your ideal customer accurately. But, how do you get to contact them? 

This is where Hunter.io comes in. 

Quora

Did I just refer to a community platform as a sales tool? Yes 

Was it by mistake? No.

I love Quora. I have used it for over a decade and it has never disappointed me (apart from the tabs opening in new windows all the time!).

However, you may be asking why Quora can be used as a sales tool. Here’s the answer: psychology. 

Quora, along with Reddit, is one of the best platforms for understanding people’s problems, needs and desires, the key ingredients of a successful sales strategy.

Use Quora to understand:

Your target market,

Their pain 

What bothers them 

What motivates them 

Subsequently, centre your sales pitch around the above. 

These 3 tools will help you boost your sales through better planning and engagement with your leads.
