BUILD QUOTE TEMPLATES

Your team’s time-to-quote could be faster, right? Think about all the time your salespeople spend creating each customer quote. In many industries, creating quotes gobbles up 25 percent of the total workday. That time could be spent selling instead.

UTILIZE GUIDED SELLING

Embrace a shift in thinking toward guided selling. Traditionally, each salesperson creates customer quotes using their own individual process. This leads to inconsistencies and errors further down the line.

BREEZE THROUGH PROPOSAL REVIEW

Here’s a simple feature in Salesforce CPQ that eliminates headaches for sales managers across the world: price quote review. As a best practice, we recommend that your team review each customer quote before it reaches the client.

FEED THE SPEED

Emphasize the importance of speed to your salespeople. Sometimes the client simply goes with whoever provides a quote first. Be that company. Here’s how.

COLLECT IMMEDIATELY

Salesforce CPQ incorporates payment collection as a seamless part of the process using Automated Payment Processing. Immediately after the generation of an invoice, payment can be collected and allocated to the proper place.

ENABLE ADVANCED AR

Make sure your Advanced AR settings are enabled in Salesforce. This small setting makes a big difference in managing billing features. When it’s disabled, you won’t be able to handle partial payments, credits, and other features that keep receivables flowing.

RENEW AND UPSELL

Many companies miss opportunities to reconnect with existing customers purely because their CPQ process focuses on single deals. This limits your long-term customer lifetime value (CLV).

Let Salesforce CPQ Do the Work of Creating Orders

Salesforce CPQ can quickly convert order products into assets. This means not having to rely on your sales ops team to create them manually.
