Outfield’s New Closer’s Coffee Serves as an Information Source for Sales Professionals

Outfield, a field sales app and mobile CRM solution provider, announces the launch of the Closer’s Coffee, a social media community that champions sales professionals, hustlers and entrepreneurs around the world. The community is an information source for sales professionals through written content, video interviews and conversation, along with profiling top business developers.

Members of the Closer’s Coffee community can communicate with one another to share ideas about topics critical to improving skills and acquiring knowledge. In addition, members will be able to compete against others in a fantasy league type fashion based on their individual sales performance.

“The traditional way of motivating sales reps through compensation alone is no longer the most effective method,” said Austin Rolling, CEO and co-founder of Outfield. “We believe a community that allows you to compete with others in a mild way is the motivation people need to help push them forward, and Closer’s Coffee is the perfect environment for that competition.”

The content on Closer’s Coffee includes written and video content and features the site’s signature show “Closer’s Coffee”. Written content is provided by a pool of contributing authors comprised of more than 30 industry professionals. Content categories include:

• Insights – advice from industry thought leaders for sales professionals
• Field Pass – a new way of telling the sales story through sports
• Mind Matters – content focused on issues related to mental health as a business professional.
