Step up your sales game with cloud file transfers
How a cloud file sharing service can help streamline your workflows
The role of file sharing in your business
File sharing plays an essential role in almost every business operation. Business processes rely heavily on the transfer of critical business data not only across departments within the company, but also when data is sent to customers, suppliers, and partners outside the company. Payrolls and transaction data, as well as product and marketing materials, must be delivered to the intended recipient while remaining secure.
Business file transfers can be carried out in different ways, such as through email, integrated applications, or cloud storage. However, using a variety of different methods to transfer data can increase the risk of data leaks, which can have a significant impact on your company’s overall data security.
Ultimately, the best thing you can do for your business is to implement a file transfer system that secures your data while also streamlining the transfer process for all endpoints.
Sharing materials with customers
It’s a given that many documents are involved in most business processes. Take a sales department, for example. Sales and marketing materials are not always freely accessible to the general public, and sometimes, new product data sheets or other information are only available to specific customers or VIP clients.
Furthermore, some sales materials may include confidential business data, such as a customer’s business profile, along with any contracts or sales quotes. This makes it essential that files are shared in a simple but secure manner, so that they are only accessible to the intended user and any sensitive data is kept under lock and key.
Not only that, but wouldn’t it also be useful if you could not just transfer data, but also track customer views and downloads to gauge overall engagement? If you answered “Yes!”, then you may want to see if a cloud-based file transfer service is right for you and your business needs.
File sharing for all of your sales needs
A cloud-based file transfer service is an excellent option for those who want to not just send files, but also keep them safe and secure while taking advantage of a variety of useful features. C2 Transfer is a service that does exactly that.
File transfers made easy
One of the biggest pains for salespeople is the amount of time that must be spent on organizing files for a range of different customers. The right file sharing service, however, will allow you to do this quickly and easily, without all of the hassle of manual file transfers.
C2 Transfer makes file sharing easy by creating shared transfer links, which you can copy and send to others. Plus, C2 Transfer’s modern and simplified interface allows you to efficiently manage and keep track of all of the files that have been sent to external parties.
And, with the C2 Transfer Add-in for Outlook, available in Microsoft AppSource, you can generate a secure file-sharing link and insert it directly into your email with a few clicks. To make things even more convenient, the add-in can also sync all of your email attachments and recipients.
What’s more is that C2 Transfer comes with a number of other helpful and convenient features, like simple user management and a file-request feature. This is all to make your work day go as smoothly as possible. But the features don’t just stop there…
So you’ve sent some files. What’s next?
After you’ve sent out your files, have you ever wondered if the other party actually received them? If you’re a salesperson, you’re probably familiar with this feeling, and you’ve also likely spent a good amount of time reaching out to check in with the other party. Well, with C2 Transfer, you can stay involved with your files even after you’ve sent them out.
C2 Transfer offers real-time email notifications for when your customers view or download any document link you share. That’s not all, you can also get detailed information on how recipients engage with your files, including download counts, view counts, and even the last time the link was opened. At the same time, C2 Transfer’s prioritizes your data security throughout the entire process.
Got confidential files? No problem.
When you’re sending out confidential data, you might want to add some extra layers of security for extra confidentiality. Luckily, C2 Transfer offers several security features that provide extra layers of protection and security, such as:
- Military-grade encryption to protect your data before it even leaves your device, allowing only the recipient to access it (see the C2 Transfer Security White Paper for more details).
- One-Time Passwords (OTP) to require verification on the recipient’s side before they can access your shared files.
- One-time downloads so that files can only be downloaded once per recipient, even if you send the file-sharing link to different people.
- Watermarks in the form of company logos or other information that can be applied to your documents.
