Tracking Prospects

Accolent ERP allows creation of prospects that can be assigned to various user-defined prospect types. Set user-defined prospect types to track how you manage prospects through your sales cycle (cold prospect, warm prospect, lead, in negotiation, etc.). Enter unlimited comments on the prospect and sort by user-defined comment type. Create quotes for prospects just as you would for existing customers. At any time, once a deal is closed, convert a prospect to a customer.

Creating Calendar Tasks

Salespersons can create Calendar Tasks to schedule tasks, calls and/or meetings. Tasks are displayed on the salesperson’s calendar and can be updated to record calls notes, meeting notes and to schedule follow up. Tasks may also be assigned to other users and will appear on the assignee’s calendar. All Calendar Tasks are tracked against specific Customers or Prospects, Contacts and Opportunities and can be filtered and searched to provide the full history of interactions. Easily generate Salesperson pipeline reports by opportunity by close date, expected revenue, etc.
