What are Opportunities?
Opportunities can be a great addition to your sales and marketing strategies. The article below details how your team can approach and implement using Opportunities and why they are important.
What is an Opportunity?
- An Opportunity happens when a contact has been given some form of proposal for a product or service, but has yet to become a closed deal.
How can Opportunities help Sales:
- Give greater insight into the success of sales efforts
- Improve accountability with frequent check-ins and conversations around Opportunities
- Improve strategy by reviewing the outcomes of conversations and what messages resonated with leads and prospects
What you should be reviewing on a monthly basis regarding Opportunities:
- Why were opportunities lost?
- What can you do to address the loss?
- How much labor time did you spend on the loss?
- How many touchpoints did you have with this Opportunity?
- Was it a sales qualified lead?
- Why were opportunities won?
- How much revenue will they be bringing in monthly?
- Is this a break fix/time managed customer, or a managed services customer?
- How much labor time did you spend on the loss? Was the dollar amount in labor more than the revenue?
