Pipeline Management is the act of organizing, tracking, and enhancing the movement of leads and deals along the pipeline stages of a sale funnel. It gives the sales personnel a framework to evaluate leads, uncover inefficiencies, and increase the chances of conversion. When the sales pipeline has been graphed, organizations can work on those deals that are most likely to convert and forecast revenue with better information.
Pipeline management involves several key activities to ensure an efficient sales process:
Lead Tracking: Basically, monitoring customers as they progress through the stages of the pipeline.
Stage Monitoring: Defining which stage of the sale each lead is in (Have we contacted them, have we gotten information on them, have we submitted a proposal, have we closed the deal with them?).
Opportunity Prioritization: Mathematically with high reformism, working on high value or high probability leads to gaining maximum efficiency and revenue.
Revenue Forecasting: Collaboration with other functional areas of the organization to make tactical and strategic decisions on business scenarios based on pipeline data.
Pipeline Optimization: Evaluating and eliminating such IT glitches as problems or delays within the sales loop.
Improved Sales Efficiency: It gives sales teams an objective set of rankings on potential customers, thus avoiding the exertion of unnecessary effort.
Better Decision-Making: Aids monitoring current sales rate to ensure efficient decisions are made.
Increased Revenue: Consistent efforts and elegant operations lead to improved conversion ratios and increased revenues.
Predictable Sales Outcomes: Based on the pipeline data, a better projection of the future is made, which helps businesses in planning for such a future.
Enhanced Collaboration: A centralized view of the sales pipeline improves coordination among team members.
