- Best Practices As you well know, a company’s ability to achieve its quarterly revenue objectives is highly determined by the quality and size of its sales funnel. In fact most CEO’s and sales executives spend a significant portion of their time reviewing their sales funnel to determine which sales opportunities are likely to close this or the next quarter. However, our experience has been that the quality and size of the Sales Funnel is totally dependent on the quality and number of leads that feed into the sales funnel. Traditionally, marketing works to provide leads for the Sales Organization.

- Case StudiesHow we Rapidly Build Quality Sales Pipeline Over a period spanning two decades, the SOMAmetrics leadership team has worked with over 100 companies, ranging from self-funded startups to publicly traded software vendors. The industries served by our current and past clients include the financial and banking industry, education, real-estate, the IT divisions of fortune 500 companies, and more. Regardless of the industry they served, or stage of business that our clients were at when we worked with them, our mandate was always the same—help them build quality sales pipeline that resulted in rapid revenue realization. Unlike many firms that just provide leads that require more effort by the sales organization to fully qualify—and thus slow down revenue realization—what we bring to our clients is quality sales pipeline, more than 80% of which goes on their sales funnel. We are able to do this because we have assembled end-to-end best practices, tools, and systems that integrate the four funnels—Prospects, Marketing Qualified Leads, Sales Qualified Leads, and Sales Funnel. To better understand how we work with our clients, please review some of the case studies listed.
