When to start a Sale

Sales opportunities help you track your total sales efforts from first contact to final sign off. In Accelo we envision the Sales Process starting the moment you are ready to close new business.

Whether it’s a potential lead or a client you’ve been working with for years, you can Create a Sale easily and never lose track of where you are in the process. By storing all information related to your sale in one place, you can easily track your pipeline and forecast sales within your Accelo account.

• Track all your emails, meetings, documents and time spent winning your deals, and easily analyze your overall sales efforts.

• Use Sales Metrics to gain the visibility you need to close more deals faster.

Anatomy of a Sale

With your new sale open in front of you, you can see all of the information you added earlier, separated in a two-column format. On the left column, you will find all Sale Details, and on the right side an Overview of your Sale.

Sales pages help you track the current status of each sales opportunity, your team’s sales correspondence with your client, and any upcoming work to be done on the sale.

Across the top of the page, you’ll find your Sale Status so you can see easily where you are in the sales process. Below the status you’ll find key metrics gathered throughout your Sales process including your Sales Amount, Probability, and Sales Rating, so you can make the most of your resources and focus on whichever leads are the most valuable.

Your sale information is separated by tabs. Open this page at any time to quickly see most recent sales communication with your client on the Stream, Attachments you’ve uploaded to the Sale, and Tasks created for this Sale. Streamline all information for your Sale in one easy place so that everyone always knows exactly what’s going on.

Just below the sale name in the navigation bar, you will see easy ways to edit your sale details and record your work on this sale through Activities.
