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?
