Overview: CRM Deals Pipeline w/ Rate Agreement & AIF Process
Below is a brief overview of the deal process, how to create a rate agreement, and what happens as a deal goes through each stage of the pipeline.
-
Deal Pipelines
- There are 3 deal pipelines
- The "New Sales Pipeline" is for deals associated with new clients
- The "Existing Client - Sales Pipeline" is for deals associated with existing clients
- The "CSD" pipeline is for CSD deals
-
Deal Stages - New Sales Pipeline
- The sales process begins when a discovery call is scheduled and a new deal is created in the "Discovery Call Scheduled" stage.
- Once the discovery call is completed, the deal is moved to the "Discovery Call Completed" stage
- After the discovery call is complete, the prospect is sent a digital proposal and the deal is moved to "Digital Proposal Sent" stage.
- If a rate agreement is requested from the prospect, the deal is then moved to the "Rate Agreement Requested" stage.
- Once all of the data points have been entered for the rate agreement and the AIF, the deal should be moved to the "Rate Review" and reviewed a final time before submitting the deal to management for approval.
- After the rates and AIF data has been reviewed by the sales rep, the deal is moved to the "Rate Approval" stage to be approved by a sales manager.
- Once the deal has been approved by a sales manager, the deal should be moved to the "Rate Agreement Sent" stage and a link to the rate agreement should be sent to the client automatically or manually.
NOTE: This stage is the last stage that a deal must be moved to manually. All of the remaining deal stages will be updated automatically as specific actions are completed. - Once the rate agreement has been signed, the deal will automatically be moved to the "Rate Agreement Signed" stage.
- After the deal is automatically moved to the "Rate Agreement Signed" stage, and AIF will automatically be created and the deal will be moved to the "AIF Created" stage.
- Once the AIF is reviewed and published, the appropriate C&W signers will be notified and upon signing the AIF document, the deal will automatically be moved to the "AIF Completed" stage.
