What is a sales pipeline? It is a process that takes the customer on a journey from lead or prospect to becoming a lifetime customer.
In an effective sales pipeline, you’ll need to take the customer from previous stages to the next, through a process of nurturing and follow-ups.
Then you can quickly analyse where you are in the process, and if you should continue to pursue a prospect or not. This helps you save time and prioritise more promising leads.
Also, find out why deals may not be closing, so you can see where you need to improve.
INControl’s software has a built-in sales tool that lets you automate and streamline the lead management process, through lead qualification, nurturing, and tracking.
Time is money. More prospects, and the right ones in your hands, will help grow your business.

Basically, you’ll be able to see what’s going on in your sales process and get insights to make proactive decisions. If it’s working, you can always make it better. If not, then you can make changes to manage it effectively and avoid spending unnecessarily on inefficient sales tasks. For example, identify how long it takes to move one prospect from one stage to another and see if you can make adjustments. Or identify at which stage you’ll get the most leads, and then focus on that stage to increase profits.
With a sales pipeline, you’ll know how to distribute your sales and marketing resources properly, so you don’t waste money on irrelevant tasks. If you know which types of prospects are converting, then you can deploy resources to nurture those leads and leverage the working formula. If the results are unpromising, then you should reserve your resources and expenditure for other marketing tasks.
Your goal should be to make sales with less effort, resources, and time, minimising errors or damage in the process. This entails finding loopholes in the process, to increase efficiency and optimise sales performance. It’s important to evaluate the sales process continuously, make it extremely organised, and take measures to make improvements and accelerate sales.
When managing a sales pipeline, you should not only focus on acquiring new customers but also maintaining and strengthening relationships with existing ones. With INControl, you can set up automation on your CRM that allows you to conduct efficient follow-ups with your customers, which will ensure timely responses to all inquiries. Or you can provide proactive support to resolve customers’ concerns. As a result, you’ll get more satisfied customers who are advocates for your brand, allowing you to boost your sales.
