Purpose / goals[edit | edit source]

A standardized sales process allows our employees to work more efficiently and helps them to perfect their sales techniques. It must be used in parallel with the acquisition strategy. This is important for both customer satisfaction and lead conversion. In addition, the sales process allows the sales team to work more consistently as it structures their operations better. The goal of the sales process is higher completion rates, better customer loyalty and, ultimately, an increase in sales.
