A sales process is a series of repeatable steps that the sales team will take with a prospect to sell them the product. Sales Funnel is commonly used term for a Sales Process, I feel that a sales funnel is different though as it basically based on activity rates, basically the more you do the more that you will hopefully close. Another commonly used term is Sales Pipeline , and I think it’s a really good term that fits. Building a good sales process will take a lot of time and effort but it will improve your business. Defining a Sales Process is important so that managers can accurately forecast and create realistic pipeline reporting. A properly defined process reduces wastes and is able to scale. In the past, companies simply used to pay high commissions and let the sales staff figure out how to prospect and make the sales that’s proven to work okay in times of rapid growth but it makes on boarding new hires difficult, and predicting revenue incredibly difficult.
