Salesforce CPQ managed services

Efficiency and accuracy in the sales process are crucial for increasing your profits. Salesforce Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions streamline and automate the quote-to-cash cycle, enhancing productivity and customer satisfaction. However, to fully leverage the power of Salesforce CPQ, partnering with Aspire CRM’s managed services and training can transform your sales operations post-deployment. Here’s how Aspire CRM supports your business in every aspect of Salesforce CPQ, ensuring long-term success.

 

What is Salesforce CPQ?

Salesforce Revenue Cloud, previously known as Salesforce CPQ, is an advanced CPQ software that offers native integration with Salesforce, which significantly extends the sales capabilities of your Sales Cloud CRM. As the most popular CPQ software globally, it provides various tools and features for customising your business needs.

CPQ solutions are built to create and manage quotes, configure products, calculate pricing, and produce quote documents. CPQ tools also include approval flows, order management, contract lifecycle management, and connections to eCommerce and external portals. CPQ also offers Quote-to-Cash (QTC) functionality. This covers the entire sales process from orders, contracts, invoicing, and payment collection to cash. Aspire CRM ensures these processes are optimised and managed efficiently.

 

How Aspire CRM Supports CPQ Tools Post-Deployment

Streamline and Automate the Whole Lead-to-Cash Process:

A robust CPQ solution automates manual, error-prone work and accelerates deals through the quoting, ordering, and billing phases. Aspire CRM guides your sales reps to select the right products, apply optimal discounts, quickly generate proposals, convert quotes into orders or contracts, and even create invoices and collect payments. Approval processes are a quality assurance layer, maintaining control over sales and discounts. Aspire CRM’s solution architects, with years of experience, design and implement the best lead-to-cash process tailored to your business.

Manage Complex Product Configuration and Pricing:

CPQ tools offer guided selling, value-based selling, and configurable bundles to simplify product selection, configuration, and pricing for sales reps. This ensures accurate pricing, regardless of the pricing model, allowing sales reps to focus on selling. Aspire CRM guarantees that your product pricing will always be correct, irrespective of your pricing model.

Effortlessly Sell and Manage Subscriptions:

Selling subscriptions, with their varying contract lengths and frequent amendments, can be complex. Aspire CRM leverages Salesforce CPQ’s subscription engine to calculate the correct price and automatically manage contract changes and renewals, reducing manual work and errors. Aspire CRM’s expertise in Salesforce CPQ’s standard features also simplifies handling customised pricing, discounts, and terms.

Enable Sales Through Different Channels:

Salesforce CPQ functionalities can be accessed via Experience Cloud portals or integrated with B2B Commerce, applying contracted prices automatically and connecting to Salesforce Billing if needed. Creating a well-integrated solution that involves multiple applications enhances efficiency for all stakeholders. Aspire CRM helps you set up these integrated solutions, ensuring seamless sales operations across various channels.
