Sales leadership at Universal Containers is concerned that sales reps are negotiating deals with contacts without the authority to make a decision, resulting is lost deals.
What should the consultant recommend to resolve the issue?
To avoid lost deals due to negotiating with non-decision makers, requiring sales reps to identify and designate a contact as the decision maker on each opportunity ensures that the appropriate stakeholders are involved. This approach enforces the validation of the decision maker role, which can help prevent deals from stalling or being lost due to lack of authority on the contact's part. Salesforce allows configuration of required fields or processes to make sure critical information is captured before advancing stages, helping align the sales process with effective decision-making structures.
