Potentials

Updated over 2 months ago

Potentials are sales deals that are in the pipeline. The potentials in Scopevisio help you to implement a standardised, structured sales process for all your sales employees. A contact to whom a potential is assigned is automatically assigned the role of "lead". Possible sales positions are stored in the potential data record together with a lead qualification, responsibilities and follow-up activities. This data accompanies the marketing and sales process through the entire sales pipeline and is continuously refined. This ensures data consistency and minimises data entry effort.

Relevant data, comments, emails and other information are linked to the lead for a complete overview. Once a clear need has been identified and an offer submitted, the lead becomes an interested party.

A potential is always assigned to a person responsible, the potential processor. Potentials can be converted into offers with a single click.

Create and edit potentials using text modules and the product catalogue.
