<\/p>\nThe aim is to focus on quality rather than quantity. You might have several prospects in your sales pipeline, but you have to identify the prospects that you can convert quickly and easily.<\/p>\n
Wondering how to do this? Profile Scoring<\/strong> is the way.<\/p>\n
By using Profile Scoring<\/em> in Vtiger CRM, you will get clarity on which prospect is genuinely interested in your product and which prospects are hard-to-get.
\nA prospect\u2019s profile score is based on their<\/p>\n- \n
- Interaction with the company,<\/li>\n
- Designation,<\/li>\n
- Company size and revenue,<\/li>\n
- Location,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
…and other parameters.<\/p>\n
If you feel that a particular prospect doesn\u2019t fit your business, don\u2019t spend too much time on them.<\/p>\n
\n
- Refine your sales pipeline<\/li>\n<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nYou might have plenty of opportunities in your pipeline, but not all of them are going to convert into sales. Don\u2019t waste time<\/a> on prospects who don\u2019t require your solution or show any signs of buying.<\/p>\n
But how do you identify uninterested prospects and refine your pipeline?
\nHere are some ways:<\/p>\n- \n
- Prioritize the prospects in your pipeline by categorizing them as Hot, Cold, or Warm, to figure out who needs the maximum attention. <\/li>\n
- Follow-up with your prospects by using Email Sequences<\/strong> in Vtiger CRM; identify the cold deals, and nurture them.<\/li>\n
- Organize your deals so that you can spot the ones that are more likely to be closed, and handle them at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Remember that having a bigger pipeline doesn\u2019t make you a better sales rep.<\/p>\n
\n
- Keep every piece of information intact<\/li>\n<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nYou need to have in-depth knowledge about the requirements of your prospects before you provide a solution to them.<\/p>\n
Imagine this scenario where you are on a call with your prospect, and you are not logging the requirements. The call ends.
\nNow you are having a follow-up meeting with the prospect after a few days, and you end up asking the same requirements. Won\u2019t this be a turn-off? You might even lose the deal.<\/p>\nVtiger CRM has an accurate solution to save you from this hassle – Customer Touchpoints<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n
With Customer Touchpoints<\/em>, you can log the interactions with your prospects and re-visit them whenever required. Interactions can happen through emails, phone calls, SMS, events, and documents.<\/p>\n
\n
- Automate tasks and save time<\/li>\n<\/h2>\n
