The RelayWare Sales Opportunity Manager Process

Capture leads

Leads are captured through sales and marketing initiatives and stored in a central lead repository for future distribution.

Distribute leads

The distribution process involves matching new leads to the partner with the best fit skills and expertise to meet the customer's requirements.

Lead notification

The notification process is driven by closed loop lead management functionality that both evaluates the lead and partner utilized to pursue the lead. Partners can accept or decline leads based on their ability to fulfil the leads. Declined leads are routed back into the central lead repository for redistribution to a new partner.

Lead tracking

Once a channel partner has accepted a lead, it will be tracked through to close. The tracking process provides the ability to proactively communicate with the partner on the status of a lead and integrate the information into the forecasting application.

Measure lead closure rate

Measure the effectiveness of channel partners and track their productivity through closed-loop reporting analysis. This enables you to determine which partners have the best closure rates and utilise the information for future lead distribution.

Integration

RelayWare integrates with other enterprise systems and data sources ensuring consistency and integrity and interfaces seamlessly with your intranets, corporate website and customer extranets.

Because for most companies, it will pay for itself within the first quarter after deployment and then keep on delivering massive gains in lead closure rate, incremental sales, increased profits and lowering your cost of sale.

How does Lead and Opportunity Manager deliver ROI?

RelayWare offers the most cost effective and non resource intensive program for your lead and opportunity program management, automating the entire back office. It enables you to keep the cost of the program low, yet delivers far improved results in comparison to a manual approach.

Improved Relationship with your Partner Network

The collaborative nature of the RelayWare Lead and Opportunity Manager allows your partners and your direct sales force to work together from lead capture to deal closure, thus increasing their overall ability to close business. It gives you a greater understanding of how your partners are selling and what resources they are using.

Lost or Unaccounted-for Leads

Qualified leads that have been generated by any business come at a price. If they do not enter an effective management system, they are all too often left to stagnate in spreadsheets, are not followed up in a timely manner or can simply be lost along the way. An automated system will allow you to classify your leads and give them a priority status, ensuring that every piece of business that can be won will be won.

Reduction in Administrative Costs

Aside from the risk of loss, a manual lead and opportunity tracking process can be costly to maintain. Depending on the number of leads coming into the business, the process of allocation, tracking, feedback can run to extensive head count costs.

Investment in Marketing Programs

Each of your marketing programs will deliver a different type and quality of lead. Using an automated system to elicit feedback on each lead will help you to understand which programs are delivering return on your marketing investments.
