Stages in the Sales Funnel

from unknown visitor to satisfied customer

Someone who visits your website is not yet a customer. If you don't know interests and characteristics, they are an unknown.

Individuals or organizations desired by you with whom you would like to do business or at least become acquainted.

Person who has shown interest in your products or company. For example, by filling out a web form.

Suspect

Not yet fully qualified lead. However, this lead has the potential to become a prospect.
Qualified lead, the profile of the person is known and for business prospects also the organization.
Name, project, (indicative) amount, (expected) decision date, and likelihood of success have been researched and known and fit your offer.
You make a concrete offer. After that, the prospect decides whether to become a customer, defer, or check in with your competitor.
If your offer fits, the deal is closed. Offer becomes order, sales opportunity is scored, prospect is your customer.

Not everyone becomes a customer immediately

The prospects and leads that still need to be kept warm long term. Sales transfers these back to Marketing to keep them on track. In the short term, there is nothing to expect.
For example, the prospect turns out not to have money, the chemistry is not right or you judge that your product or service is not a good fit for the question. You (neatly) drop out and don't spend any more time with them.
The prospect does not become a customer. He will move on to a competitor or has decided to abandon the purchasing process. It is important to investigate carefully why the prospect does not want to do business with you.

Marketing monitors the journey

Generate leads, activate customers and keep nurture groups warm

The buyer journey is the route a prospect (potential buyer) takes before becoming a customer with your organization. The customer journey is the route a customer takes.

A person has a need or problem and goes looking. Consciously or by accident, this person comes into contact with your organization. Bingo! The interest has been created.
Now it's your job to serve this interested visitor. Convince the visitor that your organization can solve the problem or fill the need.

Will the visitor become a customer or not. How do you support that? Does your organization do that better than the competition? The choice falls on you. You have a customer.

Next, it's about not disappointing the customer. He has to be happy and tell everyone about it. Only then will you have a real fan.

Marketing and Sales

work together more effectively and efficiently

Marketing works with mass media and marketing automation tools and can perform this task much more efficiently than a sales team. In doing so, as a marketer, you need tools. Think of a tool to send newsletters, Vtiger CRM to capture the customer profile information and the entire track record of the relationship.

Improve collaboration between marketing and sales
