Visualizing Your Sales Pipeline
A sales pipeline is a simple, graphic overview of where your sales are, and where you can expect them to be at the end of a given period. Used properly, it is both an at-a-glance snapshot of current opportunities and a predictive tool that can help you move forward effectively.
Like all sales tools, a pipeline is only as good as the data that’s being fed into it. Useful analysis requires looking beyond the bottom line at a range of different factors, including geographic and demographic realities for each of your sales territories.
That’s where MapBusinessOnline comes in. MapBusinessOnline is a cloud-based data-mapping platform that can be used to develop more accurate sales pipeline visualizations based on your business data.
How It Works
Sales pipeline mapping with MapBusinessOnline is easy and affordable. Import business data from your normal management system and view it against accurate, up-to-date maps with demographic information, adding vital context that shows you where your team is most effective and where additional resources are necessary to meet and exceed your desired quotas.
From there, MapBusinessOnline lets you create custom sales territories that ensure your staff is evenly distributed and positioned where they will have the most impact. Map Business Online even lets you share data among team members, leading to improved collaboration and ultimately more sales.
