Revenue Cloud(CPQ) Explained – Optimise Every Buying & Selling Touchpoint
Even the best product must find its way to the customer, hence “be properly sold”. However, it often turns out that the actual contact with customers is lagging behind other activities (mainly administration) that could be simplified. If your internal sales processes take longer than desired, Revenue Cloud is definitely what you are looking for.
Sales automation?
Up to half of the total time can be spent on creating offers, sending proposals, waiting for approval of requirements from the manager. The waiting is what makes the process so time-consuming. At the same time, the customer’s attention and enthusiasm for your product can wane. Fortunately, these activities can be automated to free up employees so that they have the capacity to do the essential – focus on a customer.
Revenue Cloud can be a useful tool for your business and help overcome these complications. If your employees use older configurators, manually create and check offers, or even have a habit of sending inaccurate offers to potential customers, it’s time to change that.
Revenue Cloud explained
Revenue Cloud is an abbreviation for Configure, Price, Quote. It is an extension to the Salesforce environment with a sales module that specialises in creating quotes. You can quickly move teamwork from spreadsheets and manual processing to an automated tool that can create flawless quotes. To do this, it helps merchants sell the right product combinations, checks discounts, or automates bid approvals.
Many people are directly dependent on spreadsheets and email in the final stages of the sales process. Instead of concentrating their energy on another customer, they waste time searching for the latest version of the price list, checking product compatibility, or waiting for the approval of the necessary discount. Revenue Cloud can change all this.
