Introduction
If Google Chrome is your go-to browser, you already know the power of extensions. Google Chrome extensions give you quick access to your favorite tools and apps without opening a new tab or leaving your current window, making your work (and personal) life a lot easier.
The right stack of Chrome extensions can turn your typical internet browser into a powerhouse productivity tool, especially for sales teams and professionals. But with so many different extensions out there, it’s hard to know which are worth your time.
Here are some of our favorite Chrome extensions for sales teams.
Why are Chrome extensions helpful for sales professionals?
As sales professionals, there are a lot of responsibilities to juggle. From educating leads, closing deals, and maintaining databases and sales funnels, it’s easy to lose precious time switching between apps and software — and it can become really frustrating really quickly. But if the systems and databases your team is using aren’t properly maintained, it can create problems across the entire organization.
Chrome extensions can help you access the apps you’re already using without opening a new window. You can access, log or update information without switching between tools or copying data from one system to another. (Or losing track, then having to start over again.)
With Chrome extensions, you can:
- Quickly find that whitepaper you want to send to a prospect.
- Update your sales funnel with the new status of your latest deal.
- Keep sensitive information protected and secure.
- Find contact information for new leads.
- Access email templates for easy connections.
- And more.
… all without leaving your internet browser. Work smarter and accomplish more without the distraction of dozens of open tabs or a handful of desktop apps.
