Today’s salespeople are constantly on the move and with more people working remotely, mobile access to sales systems and applications have become a fundamental requirement to modern working.
Using mobile apps for work helps salespeople unlock productivity, access information, optimise their time, travel better and educate on the go. Here are our 14 favourite sales apps for 2020.
1. Zoom
Zoom is a cloud conferencing application with HD video, meeting encryption for added security, team chat, recording functionality and transcription. The app is perfect for those who want to take meetings on the move. Plus, you can get started for free. It’s downloadable on both iOS and Android.
2. Slack
The Slack chat app enables salespeople to keep in touch with colleagues and clients from their mobile device. It’s free to start and available on both iOS and Android.

Microsoft Teams is free for Office 365 users, and the mobile app enables you to chat and join/schedule meetings via your phone. Plus you can share and collaborate on work. It’s available on both iOS and Android.

Simply snap a picture of a document on your phone, and get a nice, shiny PDF or JPG in exchange. It’s free and available on both iOS and Android.
5. LinkedIn
LinkedIn’s mobile app is free and available on iOS and Android. It means you can join face to face meetings after scouting the person’s LinkedIn profile first. Or, just network on the move!
6. Dropbox
Dropbox is great if you need to send and receive large files and you don’t have your laptop to hand. It’s available on both iOS and Android, and has a freemium model based on how many users and the size of storage you want.

Similar to above, the taxi app Uber is a life-saver for getting to exactly where you want to be, without having to take public transport or hailing a taxi. Uber also doesn’t require cash, plus you’ll get picked up from your exact location. It’s free and available on iOS, Android and Microsoft.
10. HubSpot
HubSpot’s mobile app (only applies if you use HubSpot) allows you to get your CRM information on the move. Plus, you can update records outside of the office, which is great after meetings or calls.
