Map Stage-Probability values

Defining the criteria for Sales Stage is important to identify the performance of an organization-wide Sales pipeline. Stage probability can be determined based on two important factors - Forecast Type and Forecast Category. These two values are useful in describing the stage of a potential.

In the Stage-Probability mapping page you can perform the following operations:

  • Create different types of Sales stages according to your organization-wide Sales process.
  • Associate Probability values to the Sales stages.
  • Associate Forecast types (Open, Closed-won, or Closed-lost) to Sales stages.
  • Associate Forecast categories (Pipeline, Closed, Omitted, Best Case, Committed)

Note

  • For a better sales pipeline analysis assign different probabilities to sales stage values.
  • For each stage assign probability in the range of 0 to 100.
  • You may consider using probability value as 100 when the deal is closed-won and 0 for deal closed-lost.

To map stage and probability values

  1. Log in to CRM with Administrator privileges.
  2. Click Setup Customization Modules >
  3. Click the Potentials module from the Modules list view.
  4. Click the Module Settings icon and select Stage-Probability Mapping.

    • To modify the existing Sales Stages, double click inside the desired Stage Name and enter the new name.

Customize Contact Roles

While prospecting, there is a need to contact different people (contacts) to finalize the sales deal. Contact Roles help in knowing the role of the contact in the prospective organization so you always have the right discussion with the right person. For instance, explaining details about the product price and discounts is always better with the Financial Manager whereas explaining product features should be discussed with the Product Manager.

Some of the contact roles such as, Decision Maker, Product Management, Purchasing and other roles are available. However, the contact roles can be customized according to specific business processes.
