A quick word about PowerPoint Sales Funnel
A sales funnel chart, as the name suggests shows stages in the sales process. A typical sales process works as follows:
- When you contact a number of prospective customers through phone calls, you may get a few appointments for personal visit
- Out of those prospects you meet, there may be a few who are interested in listening to your sales pitch
- Of those who listen to sales pitch, a few may be interested enough to request proposal for purchase
- Of those proposals you send, a few may finally convert to sales
