Our self-gradable test will show you where you can improve the management of Leads and Opportunities to Increase Sales Velocity and Close Rates
From a Lead to a Closed Sale
As a Lead moves along the sales pipeline, at some point it becomes an Opportunity. This means it has the real potential of becoming what everyone in the sales force is after: a closed sale.
Whereas qualifying a Lead might be relatively simple, Opportunity management is a bit more complex. This is because the stakes are higher. A salesperson is now going to invest valuable time into working the Opportunity, engaging key people at the target company, making presentations, and using any sales technique to move the Opportunity along. Other departments will likely become involved also.
Tech support might be standing by if the prospect company is testing a trial version. Marketing might be armed to provide specific materials to help the sale along. Executives in the company could be standing by as tags on the sale. Everyone is betting that this Opportunity will pay off, but there is always that risk factor. Not all sales close. Will this one turn to profit, or become expensively wasted effort?
