5 Top PST Migration Tools For Your Office Migration
Have you ever encountered a circumstance when you could not access your emails? That is most likely a result of your inability to connect to the Exchange Server.
PST (Personal Storage Table), a proprietary Microsoft file format, can be used to get around such situations.

Microsoft Outlook stores emails, contacts, calendar entries, and other data locally on your computer using PST files, a file format.

When a user is not connected to an Exchange server, local storage formats called PST files are used to store data. Locally stored PSTs are valid when Exchange or network is unavailable to access data on their device as and when necessary.

Most organizations during a downturn are not inclined to hire additional salespeople, so there's a need to increase the total number of potential deals that the existing sales team is trying to bring over the goal line in any given quarter.

The challenge is that most sales representatives don't spend the bulk of their time selling. A global survey of 7,700 sales professionals conducted by Salesforce finds, on average, sales representatives only spend 28% of their time in any given week actually selling.
