HOW CRM SALES FUNNEL UNIFIES AND STRATEGIZES YOUR SALES EFFORTS?
To convert leads is more important than acquire leads. An integrated sales funnel approach takes
you closer to optimal lead conversion more than anything else…
What’s a Sales Funnel and how i t works ?
CRM sales funnel connects and absorbs your leads, creating controlled and well optimized
process for handling and converting leads. Rather than just being a primary contact point, a lead
conversion channel helps you handle and optimize leads.
As name indicates ‘sales funnel absorbs and directs your prospective customers (Leads) into a
single stream, eventually converting them into satisfied customers at outlet.
Like a physical funnel, a sales funnel possesses a wide mouth connecting multiple online and
offline campaigns. It takes-in every lead coming through every medium, leading every lead
through a unified lead management system.
A sales funnel is usually set-up using an integrated system like CRM, which receives and processes
leads coming through multiple sources.
An incoming lead could be looking for an immediate purchase or making an enquiry based a
passing interest. At either levels, the system puts leads into a hot or cold based on inquiry or
manual entry. Later this entry is manipulated to form critical insights into business activity. For a
hot lead the lead could be directly passed into deeper stages of lead processing. If a lead is cold,
customer service automation can allocate later time where more time could be expended on
convincing a particular customer.
When every business is trying to win-over prospects, funnel simulation can drive towards most
optimal system to stream leads at various stages of your business.
Here a customer can set-up a future point of communication and possible increments in future.
For example, consider a Real Estate Business.
An interested prospect could take-up to a year to turn into a ripe customer. It requires businesses
to forward thinking and strategic in their approach.
And this brings us to our next question.
Why i t ’s requis i t e to have a Sales Funnel ?
There’s an old Indian saying that even when something is wasted, you should measure it!
But modern businesses rarely account for their incoming visitors or leads. Often a round number
of visitors and total leads are assigned based on Google analytics feedback.
This rarely pictures a clear connection between clients their activities and your business. While
analytics gives results on a short glance, you results cannot improved based on this wide
overview. One needs a more effective system to receive and convert leads.
Every product or service involving a considerable capital investment, involves multiple point of
contacts and call for responses. It’s often a lengthy and convoluted process.
A business should be able to differentiate and respond between serious and casual responses
within a limited time window. One needs to prioritize. A sales system automates client responses
and segregates into different section.
For running any business, one should possess a trusted and predictable revenue source. In an
uncertain business environment, a funnel system can segregate and score on your potential lead
sources.
A sales funnel clearly demonstrates leads at various stages of conversion. When a lead at primary
stages couldn’t be accounted into immediate revenue, a lead at later stages could be taken-into
account.
For most business a certain percentage for final revenue could be expected to turn into final
customers.
Also a lead conversion channel helps you identify clients at each stage of business. It enables you
to provide specific information required for each customer.
Thus a lead conversion channel also helps you foresee and predict the conversions for each sales
person. This could form an important part of your performance evaluation.
One rarely has enough data for understanding conversions and likelihood of conversions in
upcoming month or season.
When looking to increase conversions, business should be able to clearly oversee interactions
with all leads.
