Many field salespeople find that most of their workday is spent driving and not selling. If this sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place. 

Field salespeople and those working in field services need optimized routes to stay competitive. 

But can Google Maps help salespeople to get optimized routes?  

The short answer is no, you need a multi-stop sales mapping software to ensure you stay at the top of your game.

Badger Maps is a route planner app designed specifically for salespeople. With features like CRM integration and lead generation, Badger Maps is the Google Maps for field salespeople.

While Google Maps can help you figure out what’s the fastest way to a single destination, it’s not cut out to help field salespeople get optimized routes to all their appointments. 

For professionals who make their living on the road, like people who provide field services and outside sales reps, being able to optimize routes with multiple stops is crucial for their success.

Investing in a multi-stop route planner, like Badger Maps, is what you need to sell more and drive less. 

Badger Maps was specifically designed with field salespeople's needs in mind and that's what sets this route planner apart from the rest. 

With capabilities such as customer data visualization, check-ins, and lead generation on-the-go, Badger helps field salespeople save time on their daily planning, keep better relationships with customers, discover new business opportunities, and close more deals. 

Badger’s sales-specific features like follow-ups and advanced reporting allow you to keep track of key customer information and be proactive with your most important accounts.

It also offers great features for sales managers allowing them to gain insights into rep activities and performance in the field and easily optimize territories.

Badger Maps connects to your preferred navigation app to get turn-by-turn directions. So you can still use Google Maps with Badger Maps. 

On average, salespeople using Badger spend 20% less time driving and sell 22% more.

Field salespeople meet around 15-20 prospects and customers per day. Using Google Maps would mean spending long hours each day planning your route. 

On top of that, trying to optimize a route by yourself comes with many hidden expenses. Besides the hours spent on tedious planning, you can’t guarantee you’ve created the most efficient route. 

With Badger Maps, you can optimize routes with 100+ stops in seconds. Badger Maps lets you select the accounts you want to visit and automatically generates the fastest, most efficient route.

How does this translate into money and time savings?

Well, the average field sales rep drives about 2,000 miles per month. Meanwhile, a field sales rep that uses Badger Maps would drive only 1,600 miles to visit the same number of prospects. 

That’s 20% fewer miles driven each month!

In terms of money, the average sales team of 10 reps saves $11k per year in gas. They also sell $936k more the year, as they use that extra time to meet with more customers.

With our ROI calculator, you can calculate a personalized return on investment that Badger Maps will bring you and your business.

In fact, Badger Maps pays for itself through gas savings.
