Why you need ValueWorks as an add-on to your CRM system

Effective sales funnel management requires a clear view of the customer journey in your sales processes. A traditional CRM system displays only current data, which is not ideal for executive management. To facilitate vital management analysis, you need a tool that provides historical data, offering insights into data trends over time, such as conversion rates. This is crucial for executives to understand the duration of each funnel phase and pinpoint where unnecessary delays occur, a capability lacking in a standard CRM system.

How ValueWorks performs advanced analytics

The sales excellence tool of ValueWorks performs a comparison between any point-in-time to calculate conversions e.g. from SQL to “offer” phase, number of “slipped deals” and sales cycle time, by taking snapshots from the CRM system, every 3 hours. Unlike a CRM system, ValueWorks integrates data from different sources, which, in addition to the presentation of classic sales KPIs, such as leads, also helps to display the costs.
