CRM features the sales funnel process to quickly solve customer related problems like lead lost,

decrease in customers, discontinuation of future service etc. Efficient sales funnel should be

created in a simple way to make business much stronger in sales and service. Sales funnel is

divide into several topics, they are :

1). Lead Stage

This region is very vast and an open gateway for customers to get into business. This is due to

lack of ability to understand customers. Many businesses make product first, and then look

forward to sell it to customers. But it is not profitable for long term. On the other hand very few

businesses survey about customers, to understand their needs and then provide service/product

and satisfy them.

So, this region in funnel should be expanded by marketing creatively and knowing what can be

sold easily, giving attention to customer needs and then finally, by working on service/ product.

2). Negot iation Stage

A customer dropping out creates the main problem in this stage. There is lack of communication

and presentation skills, by the employees, which results in creating mismanagement at the

negotiation stage. Leads often fall apart and very few stick on, for reasons which could be as

simple as the product being their necessity.

This is where business comes at a hand-to-mouth stage as it will have only few customers in hand.

Making a valuable product, matching customer needs can be exactly what is needed to widen

this region. Effective negotiation should be present and a firm business relationship with

customers has to be built, which goes along with persuasion skills of the sales representative.

3). Sales process Stage Once the leads progress to the next stage, it is confirmed that service has to be done. But this

region too might shrink for simple reason that state that a customer may not have liked the

product for its price, quality or the product may not be up to their expectation.

Initial marketing processes need checking and innovative ideas should be implemented to bring

more leads. With the aid of Lead automation, company sales can be improve

4). Deal Stage This may be the final stage where only limited customers continue with the business and be the

loyal customers to the brand. This loyalty ensures long term business relationship but only with

few customers. To bring in more customers creative marketing with simple ideas is the best

solution. Making use of CRM as a marketing tool uncovers many hidden opportunities to make

an efficient marketing process, over a large area of network, which now includes Social media as

well.

After getting a brief idea about sales funnel, running and managing a business becomes very easy

and simple. Sales funnel is more than a tool used to nurture business and its effect can be seen

at the final stages and also at the beginning stages of the business.
