Using 3 stages of the sales funnel to increase conversion

“Sales is an outcome, not a goal. It’s a function of doing numerous things right, starting from the moment you target a potential prospect until you finalize the deal.” This is a quote by Jill Konrath, a well-known sales strategist. As an employee working in a sales-driven environment, the ultimate outcome (not goal!) for you is to win a sale. But there are three global steps that need to be taken before finalising the deal and signing the contract.

Step 1: Finding a new lead

The first step in closing the deal is to gain new leads. Atlas CRM can help you enriching the lead with information such as the customer and company involved in this sale and the estimated revenue the sale will bring. The information present in a sale is shown in the picture below.

Step 2: Turning it into an opportunity

The second step to take before winning a deal is turning the lead into an opportunity. In Atlas CRM it is possible to add the estimated probability that the sale will be won in percentages. While moving the sale to another sales funnel stage, you might want to increase the probability!

Step 3: Signing the contract

The third and last stap to win your deal is creating and signing the contract. Within Atlas CRM, you can easily change the status of a sale. Either change status: Won (Hopefully) or change status: Lost (maybe this customer wasn’t actually worth it ;).
