How to Shorten Your Sales Cycle with Sage CRM

With the recent release of Sage CRM Version 7.3, Sage rolled out a bunch of new tools and reports that can help you accelerate your sales cycle and make the most of every opportunity. Let’s take a look at these new sales accelerators.

New Management Dashboards

Two new ready-to-use Management Dashboards are available to provide owners, managers, and decision-makers with the insight and metrics to close more sales – faster.  Each dashboard includes configurable gadgets that use Sage CRM data from across your entire organization.
Sales KPI for Managers displays key performance indicators (KPIs) to help you identify and measure your organization’s successful activities … as well as those that aren’t performing so well. Metrics include monthly sales trends, actual vs. target, opportunities pipeline, open activities, at-risk   opportunities, and closed deals leader board by sales rep.
Sales Metrics for Managers helps you measure progress   toward organizational goals. Metrics include leads generated by source, deals lost to competitors, won vs. lost deals, average deal close rate, cross-sell deals, and top open deals.
These new dashboards provide important visual queues that help you quickly spot areas that require your attention. Then you can take action or run more detailed analysis to close deals faster or save opportunities that are slipping.
