• 09:45 - Close 

Sales teams must understand that they should be expected to ‘live or die’ by their pipeline. It should flow through the DNA of any sales organisation. Utilising the latest CRM is crucial. Agreeing the pipeline stages is also critical for employee engagement. For example: prospect, qualified, submitted. Sales Teams become more engaged when they see the benefit of ‘Pipeline Turn’, ie, keep it fresh, keep it real – if it’s not moving through the pipeline, take it off. Holding critical internal stakeholders accountable to support pipeline through stages quicker is key to success, sales people must be strong coordinators and collaborators.

Key takeaways:

• Sharing of best practice
• Alignment of priorities
• Speed of pipeline execution
