And, that’s where the mind reading, private detective work, and cat wrangling comes into play. Sadly, only 19 percent of those managers we surveyed find the data captured in their CRM to be “extremely helpful,” with 70 percent admitting they rely on 1:1 meetings, reports, or team calls to get better visibility into pipeline health. In a way, that’s probably for the best - but I digress. Unfortunately, sales reps don’t have the resources and discretionary time that a Starfleet commander has - or a nifty captain’s chair from which to bark out a summary of the day’s activities, and launch the occasional torpedo. Like a CRM, the captain’s log works great - as long as you have a reliable way to accurately enter and record all that data.

Beyond being a clever way to catch the TV audience up on key plot points, the captain’s log was a record-keeping device used to keep superiors abreast of what was happening on a mission, and to preserve historical data for future generations. In fairness, the CRM is a little like the “captain’s log” on Star Trek. Findings from a recent Clari survey of enterprise sales organizations reveal that 70 percent of enterprise sales managers look beyond CRM to find the insights they need to understand deal status. It’s hard to get an accurate read on pipeline when your team of strapped-for-time reps either fails to log their activity or captures only scant deal details that don’t tell the whole story. On a daily basis you’re compelled to perform the tasks of private investigator, mind reader, cat wrangler, and other sundry professions just to get the job done. If you’re a sales manager, you can identify with Bones. And, despite his protestations, he inevitably completes the task that needs to be done with whatever seemingly inadequate tools he has on hand. He’s not a “bricklayer” or an “engineer” or an “astrophysicist.” He’s a doctor. Of course, McCoy’s probably best known for his signature catchphrase, “I’m a doctor, not a (insert wildly inappropriate job title here). He’s a driven leader and a pragmatist who trusts his instincts and has justifiable reservations about technology. McCoy (AKA “Bones”) would have made a great 21st century sales manager. Oddly, Enterprise chief medical officer Dr. If the OTC process is like Star Trek, then today’s sales manager is the real McCoy.
