SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At Dreamforce '16, Qstream, providers of mobile enterprise software for igniting high-performance sales teams, today announced significant enhancements to its award-winning Sales Capabilities Platform that deliver data-driven insights to create more meaningful and insightful coaching experiences in minutes a day. Available immediately, the Coaching Hub™, as well as other new capabilities, allow enterprises to maximize their Salesforce.com investments by using Qstream's mobile, science-based approach to quantify and manage what's innately human about selling – your sales people.

As the estimated $12 billion sales tech industry develops, no CRM yet addresses the "human side" of sales acceleration. Qstream does this by equipping sales teams for the interactions buyers demand – including situational fluency that cannot be achieved through machine learning, prescribed content or algorithms. Too often, coaching is conducted simply "by the numbers," while a huge unknown – the capacity of the sales team to drive buying decisions – remains a key factor in achieving top-line revenue growth.

New functionality in Qstream's SaaS platform include:

Data-driven Coaching Hub to facilitate the streamlined management of sales competency frameworks through a nexus of proficiency and engagement metrics, observed sales competencies and confidence ratings at both the rep and team levels
Graphical coaching timeline, tracking all interactions between the frontline manager or sales coach and the rep, including coaching actions, private observations and coaching messages with associated coaching actions
Customer-defined Salesforce.com triggers that initiate targeted coaching actions and automate user enrollment in Qstream challenges based on conditional rules, such as a change in a deal stage or sales KPI
Real-time online coaching activity report to provide leadership with insight into the effectiveness of their coaching program
Out-of-the-box Qstream proficiency and engagement reports that enable granular capabilities data to be correlated with CRM metrics for a predictive view of sales team performance in a Salesforce.com Lightning-ready interface

Using Qstream's data-driven manager dashboards, sales coaches can more quickly target and prioritize 1:1 coaching plans and identify team-wide gaps in required knowledge or behaviors. Companies that use Qstream achieve 35% average proficiency gains, 20% higher quota attainment, 12% decrease in turnover and 3% improvement in gross margin.

"Outstanding sales performance still hinges on pivotal moments in a sales cycle that must be addressed by a human being. Yet frontline managers have been flying blind, without access to data that lets them know if their sales reps have what it takes to deliver on increasing revenue expectations," said Duncan Lennox, Qstream CEO and co-founder. "The new Qstream Coaching Hub, along with our other new features, will go even further in helping sales leaders gain proactive insight into their teams' ability to achieve forecast – and how maximize it."

Recognized by Salesforce.com as a Dreamforce '16 "Must-See-App," the Qstream Sales Capabilities Platform will be showcased at the Dreamforce Cloud Expo, booth #446, today through October 7.
