When to Use It
This template can help you turn prospects from ads and page visits into a reliable customer base for your market. Handy when you need to:
- Create a complex sales process that another participant can successfully interpret
- Create qualification criteria
- Create observable measures of progress
- Set up a CRM in a spreadsheet
Who Should Use It
A sales funnel template can help you if you’re looking for the next step to move a sales lead forward, if you want to know when the demo should occur, or if you want to know when to send the proposal.
Teams that are dealing with complex sales with multiple stakeholders will also find it useful, or those facing the challenge of long sales cycles and complex bidding practices that make rapid prototyping and lean startup difficult for their business.
How It Works
Sales CRM Template (Google Sheet)
Follow the template stages listed below, and then conduct some basic analysis and triage. For example, look for bulges and gaps in your sales funnel, and analyze whether there are enough sales leads going through the funnel overall.
After looking at the high-level funnel and addressing any noticeable symptoms (like volume of incoming leads, the shape of the funnel, bulges, and gaps), begin an analytical dig into the data and consider actions to take. If there are bulges, consider splitting the phase. If there are gaps, look for a bottleneck. If there is not enough throughput, fill the funnel.
