Free Access Salesforce Salesforce-Sales-Representative New Release

According to the Salesforce Sales Representative Learning objectives, one of the skills that a sales rep should have is to ensure customer satisfaction through streamlined fulfillment and order management. This includes collaborating with internal teams to handle any special requests or requirements from the customer, such as tax, shipping, or billing issues. By working closely with the relevant departments, the sales rep can ensure that the customer’s tax requirements are met and that the order is processed correctly. This will also help to avoid any delays, errors, or disputes that could affect the customer’s experience and satisfaction. References:

During the prospecting stage, a sales representative identifies and reaches out to potential leads to assess their interest and fit for the company's offerings. Completing a qualification call with new leads at this stage is crucial to understanding their pain points, needs, and whether the company's solutions can meet those needs. This step is essential for efficiently allocating resources to leads with the highest potential for conversion. Salesforce emphasizes the importance of effective prospecting and qualification processes to ensure sales efforts are focused on the most promising opportunities.

A sales representative can frame a solution around a customer’s business challenges by addressing the customer’s pain points. Pain points are the specific problems or issues that the customer is facing or wants to avoid. By understanding the customer’s pain points, the sales representative can tailor the solution to meet the customer’s needs and goals, and demonstrate how the solution can solve the customer’s problems or prevent them from occurring. Addressing the customer’s pain points also helps the sales representative to build trust and rapport, and to show the value and benefits of the solution. References: [Sales Rep Training: Present Solutions], [Cert Prep: Salesforce Certified Sales Representative: Present Solutions]

BANT is a sales qualification model that stands for Budget, Authority, Need, and Timing. It helps sales representatives identify and prioritize the most qualified prospects based on four key criteria:

• Budget: The prospect has the financial resources to purchase the product or service.
• Authority: The prospect has the decision-making power or influence to approve the purchase.
• Need: The prospect has a specific problem or pain point that the product or service can solve.
• Timing: The prospect has a clear timeline or urgency to buy the product or service. BANT helps sales representatives focus on the most promising opportunities, avoid wasting time on unqualified leads, and align their sales process withthe customer’s buying journey. References: [Cert Prep: Salesforce Certified Sales Representative: Qualify Leads], [Sales Rep Training: Qualify Leads]
