Data first approach to increasing pipeline velocity

 

DATA DRIVEN SALES OPTIMISATION

Four Pillars of Data-Driven Sales Optimisation

  • Baseline Data & Sales Process

  • Qualification & Gates

  • Method & Call Intelligence

  • Playbook integration

 

 

Build a baseline for sales pipeline velocity and key performance indicators (KPIs) like AE productivity. Refine sales process stages, tighten definitions, and establish clear exit criteria. - Adjust CRM settings and seller actions to capture essential opportunity data by stage, integrating these metrics into reviews

 

 

Provide guidance on selecting and implementing a qualification framework that enhances accuracy. Integrate the framework into your CRM, ensuring it aligns with sales stages and exit criteria. Build qualification tools directly into the sales playbook, ensuring repeatability and consistency

 

 

We integrate your chosen sales methodology into the sales process, supported by call intelligence data that tracks sellers' behaviors against the playbook and required skills for each sales stage. This data-driven approach ensures that your team applies the sales methodology effectively, aligning actions with proven strategies

 

 

Your sales playbook is integrated and continuously refined using data insights and behavioral analysis from call intelligence. We ensure that the playbook is integrated directly into sales workflow giving your team real-time access to the best practices and skills needed at each stage of the sales cycle

 

Why a data driven view is essential

 

In many revenue organisations, CRM data is primarily used for order booking and compensation planning. However, understanding and optimising your data is critical for making holistic GTM decisions.

 

Without a clear view of where the problems lie, you may focus on the wrong fixes. Our service allow you to see the full picture, pinpoint the blockers in your data, and implement the right strategies to enhance pipeline velocity, conversion rates, and overall sales efficiency.

 

What you get

 

A clear understanding of your sales pipeline velocity and the key metrics that influence it, helping you make informed decisions on GTM strategy adjustments.

 

A refined, data-driven sales process that is repeatable and optimised for identifying and eliminating bottlenecks in your pipeline.

 

Insights into how to optimise key sales KPIs, ensuring you can focus on fixing the right problems—whether it’s sales behaviors, process gaps, or capability improvements.

 

A comprehensive framework (Bowtie KPIs) integrated into your CRM and sales systems, providing ongoing visibility into pipeline health and performance.

 

How it works

 

Delivered through discrete, 10-day sprints that focus on high-impact activities to drive pipeline velocity, improve seller productivity, and implement key sales processes

 

Once each sprint is completed, the deliverables are defined and added to a backlog. This backlog allows for flexible prioritisation and sizing of future tasks. If any sprint concludes with remaining time, additional deliverables from the backlog can be started. As results are achieved and new insights emerge, the backlog is updated with new items that further optimise sales performance.
