Our Sales Roadmap® Process

To be effective and consistent at making anything in a business work, there needs to be Directions, a how-to manual, and a process.

Even though many of us don't think of it in these terms, a sales organization is no different.

As in any department, The Sales Roadmap® becomes your sales organization's methodology and language - defining, guiding, and tracking your sales process, including metrics, pipeline, and results - from lead to sale and beyond.


Developing Your Sales Process

Designing your sales process is often Focus’ first step with many projects as it becomes the foundation and “language” that both sets and manages the team’s sales metrics and drives the CRM.

Review each Stage to reveal some questions you need to consider when developing your sales process:

Stage 1. Opportunity Identified But Unqualified

A conceptual need/interest exists but little is known (re: scope, budget, and timing).

How to Best Use the Sales Roadmap:

In order to maximize the capabilities of the Sales Roadmap, it should be built directly into your CRM program. This will give you maximum visibility, accountability, sales metrics and information without having your team do “call reports” on Sunday.

Focus will help you design, customize and document your new Sales Roadmap (working hand-in-hand with your team) and then build it directly into your existing or new CRM (link here to CRM page) to fit your business and your sales process.

REMEMBER: Any CRM program is essentially a very smart “filling cabinet”. The Sales Roadmap is the “brain” deciding how best to use the “filing cabinet” and what the “filling standards” are so that you have “quality in” and “quality out”.
