3 automations to speed up your sales cycle

At a time when the acceleration of the sales cycle is becoming a strong competitive axis, companies sometimes find it difficult to assess their obstacles to the implementation of new strategies in this area.

To save time, to improve profitability, to increase customer loyalty or to improve your reputation, there are many reasons to invest resources in this reflection. But, if the purpose of these strategies is to focus on the offers that have the best chance of success and to maximize their effectiveness on a daily basis, it will be important to define a strategy to establish as well as a roadmap to follow throughout the process.

Although several factors must be aligned to succeed, we advise any company that wishes to do this on its own to start this transformation with the technological axis and more specifically with the automation of its sales cycle.

‍

Here are the three automations we believe are essential to accelerate an existing sales cycle:

1. Automation of the prospecting process

Prospecting automation can help companies identify the most relevant prospects and connect with them effectively. For example, lead tracking tools can be used to identify people who have visited the company's website and expressed interest in its products or services. These tools can also be used to schedule automated emails to contact prospects and get them to start a discussion.

2. Automation of lead qualification

Automated lead qualification can help companies identify the most promising prospects and direct them to the sales team. For example, online forms or questionnaires can be used to collect information about prospects and automated qualification criteria can be set to identify the most relevant leads.

3. Automation of opportunity tracking

Automated opportunity tracking can help companies track the progress of their offers and identify the opportunities that are most likely to succeed. For example, opportunity management tools can be used within your CRM to record information about current offers and track their progress. These tools can also be used to schedule automated reminders to ensure that these offers are not forgotten and that sales teams are able to react quickly to opportunities that come their way.

Sales cycle automation can be an effective way to save your salespeople time and maximize their profitability.
If your organization has the human and technical resources, don't hesitate to implement these automations as soon as possible to get the most out of them.
