The Cost of Manual Research

The Cost of Manual Research

When Preparation Consumes Your Productive Hours

The Current Reality for Sales Teams:

  • Time-Intensive: 30-60 minutes spent researching each company
  • Inconsistent Quality: Varying depth and relevance of information
  • Repetitive Work: The same process repeated for every scheduled meeting
  • Opportunity Cost: Hours weekly diverted from actual selling activities

For a sales professional with 3-5 meetings daily, research can consume up to 25% of productive time. This manual approach not only reduces efficiency but can lead to missed opportunities when important news is overlooked in the rush to prepare.
