Worcester, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 24 October 2014 -- The power of the Sales Pipeline is often underestimated. We still come across organisations with sales teams that either don’t use a sales pipeline at all or don’t use this key functionality within their CRM system.

MAS new blog features the top 12 reasons why a Sales Pipeline and Process is needed. http://blog.marketinganswers.co.uk/12-reasons-to-use-a-sales-pipeline-found-in-all-crm-systems

Without a Sales Pipeline, companies do not know where they are going or what they need to do.This is a fundamental requirement for all businesses with paying customers.

Post this

According to Simon Williams of Arrivista (and Action Coach Award Winner) companies without a Sales Pipeline are at serious risk in a business context of floundering tremendously and in 7 years of coaching in the UK and overseas, this is one of the first actions that he implements with both SME‘s and larger sales teams. From this all other actions are based, as Simon says: “Without a Sales Pipeline, companies do not know where they are going or what they need to do. This is a fundamental requirement for all businesses with paying customers.”

This is not only at the heart of any Customer Relationship Management system, but a loss of one the three core elements and denies Management perhaps the single most important function from a sales perspective of introducing this software.

So, whilst we have listed over 27 good reasons for using this tool with the free download ebook, within this blog give our top 12 reasons for introducing a Sales Pipeline, starting from a sales perspective, a few of the reasons included are:-    

• Sales Persons can see their own Opportunities at a glance and can focus on these (if you measure it, then you tend to see better results).
• Sales people are held accountable and responsible for their pipeline and so the Monday morning Sales Meeting becomes quicker, no more chasing for Excel spread-sheets, enabling the key opportunities or problem opportunities to be focused on.
• Having a Sales pipeline usually means using a common Sales Process methodology for tracking and actions, this in itself is proven to improve sales performance ...

Nine more reasons are contained within the blog. http://blog.marketinganswers.co.uk/12-reasons-to-use-a-sales-pipeline-found-in-all-crm-systems

The blog and ebook contain more examples of why a Sales Pipeline can be so important to the future success and planning within a business, as well as giving two reasons why Sales People don’t want to use a sales pipeline!

Finally, the blog concludes with some rationale and discussion on what to do next as well as the offer to download the Free Book listing over "20 reasons for using Sales Pipeline" and featuring some views of how best-of- breed CRM software now present the sales pipeline. http://info.marketinganswers.co.uk/using-sales-pipelines-with-crm-systems
