Here is an example of setting up the “Unqualified” status step in a Lead Path: Having set this up for all the crucial parts of your business, you can see how helpful this will be in training new employees, keeping seasoned veterans disciplined, and sharing new information and insights. As new scenarios or questions come up, they can be addressed immediately at the right step in the process. You can provide scripts, FAQs, video, case studies, etc. (Note: Currently you are limited to five fields for each step. You can make the step fields required but will need validation rules in place.) It truly is like having a personal coach for each team member. Think about the improvements! • The contract process can now be tightened up. No more excuses for not getting the information needed to finalize the agreement. No more back and forth with clients and • • • • • them losing confidence with each iteration. The sales process can be enhanced with role-playing videos, new questions, graphics, FAQs, objection handling, and much more. The lead process can be guided and made much more efficient. Just identifying what is and isn’t a lead and making that clear in the process will be a tremendous help to everyone. Cases can be more clear and consistent. The life cycle of an account can be nurtured and cared for systematically. You’ll have education and support all the time for everyone on your team. New ideas can be added one time and delivered immediately to everyone who works with that 7 process. Teams will be more successful because they’ll have answers now. They won’t have to guess and worry. They won’t have to go back and forth with the clients and prospects for missing information, and team members will be happier because they’ll be more successful. Happy employees lead to happy customers. There are many areas in your business that Salesforce’s Lightning Experience Path can enhance.
