When growing your B2B operations, having an effective sales process in place is key.
It serves as a guide for you and your clients - from the initial interest stage until you finally close the deal.
But in B2B operations your sales funnel is more complex. There are more decision-makers, longer sales cycles, and more barriers to sales such as company accreditation or procurement checklists and so on.
If you don't have an effective sales process in place, things can get chaotic really fast.
Without structure, your team gets overwhelmed, leads pile up, you might miss out on weeding the bad leads and deals start to fall through.
So how can you regain control?
What do you need to do to streamline your sales process and safeguard the growth and success of your business?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
