Custom stages can be set up to match your sales process and you can easily track and view your sales potential overall at each stage, or by individual customer.
The Events functionality in Advanced Business Cloud allows your sales team and the wider company to log, track and manage your customer contact. Events can be set up to manage customer contacts or follow up campaigns from marketing events and exhibitions. Each event can be tagged up so they can easily be reported on and follow up events can be set quickly so that future contact opportunities with customers are carried out at the correct time.
The CRM system within Advanced Business Cloud Essentials allow your sales team to quickly and easily create estimates and quotes directly from their sales opportunities. Key information about the customer is automatically added to the resulting document and as items are added details around stock availability and pricing are shown, saving huge amounts of time during the quoting process and preventing orders being processed that can’t be fulfilled in time.
