Sales management refers to managing “things” and “money” out of the “people,” “things,” “money,” and “information” that arise in business activities. In other words, it is recording and managing everything that is involved until the product is sold. By managing this series of events, you can run your business successfully, and it is often used these days when thinking about business strategies.

There are generally two ways to manage sales: the first is to manage it using Excel, and the other is to use sales management software.

The merit of using Excel is that it is free. Since you can manage sales without spending any money, anyone can easily get started. On the other hand, the demerit is that as the number of items you want to manage in sales increases, it becomes difficult to manage them in Excel. As such, if it becomes difficult to manage sales in Excel, we recommend using sales management software.

The merit of using sales management software is the ease of management. Unlike Excel, sales management software is designed for sales management, so it has a well-defined format and comes in a wide variety of types. On the other hand, the demerit is that it incurs costs. However, by using sales management software to manage sales, you can create a business strategy, so we recommend that you do not worry too much about the costs.

If you are a small business, you can probably manage your sales using Excel, but you will run into some difficulties if you don’t use sales management software. Therefore, if you can afford to purchase sales management software, we recommend you to use it to manage your sales.
