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

The rate of sales conversion varies from person to person. It may even vary from time to time and product to product. Here is the process represented with a simple Smartart.
