Everyone wants custom these days. It’s especially hard for Tech companies, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Professional Services companies who need to build their operations to deliver customized products and services so that they can meet the unique needs of their customers. However, creating a custom lead-to-cash process that is efficient and effective can be challenging, particularly if you’re dealing with a large volume of sales.
This is where we recommend Salesforce CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) – a powerful tool that helps businesses streamline their lead-to-cash process and deliver a seamless customer experience.
What is Salesforce CPQ?
Salesforce CPQ is a software application that allows companies to automate and optimize their quote-to-cash process. The tool enables sales teams to configure products, price them accurately, and generate quotes quickly and easily. It also allows companies to manage contracts, track revenue, and gain insights into their sales pipeline.
