Salesforce Sales Cloud - Weighted Sales Pipeline

by Tableau

Description

Sales Pipeline is the process by which an organisation converts its sales opportunities (or leads) into sales.

The Tableau Accelerator allows you to:

  • Conduct overall sales pipeline review
  • Assess and improve your sales performance:
    • Pipeline generation
    • Ability to convert opportunities
  • Understand & grow each opportunity owner’s profile (based on profiling & recommended trainings)
  • Breakdown your pipeline at any level of detail
  • Focus your efforts on areas with best conversion
  • Assess performance improvements over time
  • Drill-back at Opportunity level of detail, directly in your Sales Pipeline Application and take immediate actions

Demo video

Compared to a standard Pipeline, a Weighted Pipeline introduces the concept of “Probability of Closing” (expressed in %) for each opportunity, which allows a more accurate and realistic analysis of the pipeline.

Answer key business questions

  • What is the size of our sales pipeline: overdue, short, medium and long term?
  • What was our ability to convert opportunities?
  • Which opportunities do we have in our sales pipeline? Which opportunities do we win the most?
  • How is our sales pipeline composed?
  • Which account(s) drive our ability to convert opportunities?

Monitor and improve KPIs
