Idea for an Interactive Mapping Tool.
A tool that can pinpoint on a map locations of Customers or filter pinpoints by any of the 'Lifestyle Stages" (Prospect, Lead, Customer, Opportunity etc).
For instance, I may have an appointment with a current customer in Detroit, MI. I could search via a map for a group of “leads” or “opportunities” nearby that I could visit before or after the scheduled appointment. You could use this tool to try and set up additional visits with current customers or prospects.
This feature would help with Time Management and scheduling your day; hopefully increase face to face touches with more than one customer/prospect while in that area.
I personally always choose the ‘satellite’ view of maps. Makes it much easier to visually see the facilties you are visiting and surrounding businesses.
Finally, with a mapping tool, this could help you locate nearby opportunties (to existing or potential customers) that were not previously on your radar - from a clean map view.
Cheers.
