A sales process is a systematic approach to selling a product or service. A growing body of published literature approaches the sales process from the point of view of an engineering discipline (see sales process engineering) [1]. Reasons for having a well thought-out sales process include seller and buyer risk management, standardized customer interaction in sales, and scalable revenue generation. A major advantage of approaching the subject of sales from a "process point of view" is that it offers a host of well-tested design and improvement tools from other successful disciplines and process oriented industries[2]. In turn, this offers potential for quicker progress. Quality expert Joseph Juran observed, "There should be no reason our familiar principles of quality and process enginnering would not work in the sales process"[3]. A sales team's fundamental job is to move a greater number of larger deals through the sales process in less time.[4] Specific steps or stages in a sales process vary from company to company but generally include the following elements Mapping a process provides a starting point for further careful analysis and continuous improvement[5]. Diagramming a process flow is considered to be one of the seven basic quality improvement toolsf[6]. Elements in the list above (among many others) have been described and/or flowcharted in the published literature. Some examples have primarily focused on functions performed by a sales "department"[7]. At least one cross-functional approach depicts and integrates a variety of interdependent areas, such as sales, marketing, customer service, and information systems[8].

November 06, 2009
As a company expands and finds itself with both greater revenues and greater responsibilities, a number of programs and services are bound to become necessary.
