Business Sense in Mobility of CRM apps

By sundi_iyer ·
Is there any ROI sense in making CRM mobile?

I can see some ROI stories in Field Service where a field technician can get wireless access to technical documents, make online trouble tickets, get enterprise data relating to equipement, parts etc.
I do not see any ROI stories in Field Sales - If a sales person makes an online lead enquiry, is that going to convert into a sale ( compared to making an online lead enquiry through a wired internet application)

I am not doubting the ROI of CRM but doubting the ROI of mobility of CRM.

Any views on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Customized products

If you're dealing with an industry where customization can make the difference in a sale, having the proper tools can help.

Assume you're working with semi-trailers as an example. A potential customer may say that they like the way a company hastheir custom trailers configured. A Field Sales person might be able to access information about the custom trailers and come up with a proposal on the spot.

Another consideration is that some Field Sales reps also do a certain amount of Field Service, even if it is only delivering parts. If the Field Sales rep knows that an organization tends to go through a certain part or assembly relatively fast, they might have that in their vehicle for their next sales visit.
