Manage Deals

Manage Deals

Deals are important as they generate revenue for the organization. Ideally, Deals undergo the complete sales cycle, right from identifying the right prospect to the deal being won or lost.
 
For example, you own a web hosting company called Zylker. James the Marketing Manager of XYZ corporation likes the package you offer for complete web hosting and wants you to host a website for his company and gets in touch with you regarding the same. 

Now, James is the Contact associated with the company XYZ Corporation. The deal here is hosting a website for XYZ Corporation. 
 
Before finalizing, the deal has to go through the following stages defined by Zylker. They are
  • Qualification
  • Needs Analysis
  • Identify Decision Makers
  • Quote price 
  • Negotiation
  • Closed won/lost
These stages are collectively known as Sales Pipeline. 
 
Likewise, many deals can pile up and there is a need for organizing them accordingly to ensure you achieve the expected revenue.
 
Bigin allows you to specify your sales process and start adding deals inside your account. You can see the number of deals present in a specific stage and how they are performing. Moving them across stages is done with a simple drag and drop. Various activities have to be performed to close a deal successfully. You might have to carry out certain tasks or get in touch with customers via call, etc. All these can also be recorded for a deal in your Bigin account.

View Deals

Bigin allows you to view the deals that you have created in two ways:
  1. List View
  2. Pipeline View

List View

The Deals list view displays the deals one after the other in rows and columns. The list view is helpful when you wish to see the maximum details of your deals at one glance.


Pipeline View

The pipeline view is helpful when you specifically want to see view deals categorized by their stages. A single glance at the pipeline view will tell you which deals are in the Closed Won stage, how many in the Closed Lost stage, Negotiation/Review stage and so on and so forth. This view is also applicable when you customize the Deal Stages.
