"About 50% percent of a salesperson's time is spent on non-selling activities, while well over half of sales leaders aren't confident in the visibility they have into their own sales process," says Ramon Nunez, CEO of LiveHive. "By streamlining and tracking sales activity, we are able to illuminate these blind spots and show vendors what they can do to drive higher partner and sales rep performance."
