What is sales automation and why is it needed?
Sales automation is the use of CRM systems, chatbots, analytics, and integrations to automatically perform repetitive tasks in sales.
According to Gartner's Sales Automation theory, 65% of a sales manager’s tasks can be automated.
Example of sales automation:
-
A client writes on WhatsApp
-
A bot qualifies the lead
-
CRM creates a deal
-
An invoice is sent automatically
-
After payment — status updates to “Closed”
-
The manager receives a notification only when necessary
In 2025, sales automation is not a “nice to have” — it’s essential.
74% of companies in Uzbekistan and 68% in Tajikistan already use CRM (Uzum Business survey).
