ID683 - Sales Opportunity MIF Report Overview & Sample:

Knowing how many territories you should have is important. Too few, and the reps have it easy just waiting for prospects to call in, too many and you're facing a turnover issue as reps struggle to meet quota. This report assumes one rep is in charge of the equipment at a customer.

Overview

Deciding on whether a sales person is successful because they have better selling skills or work ethic versus they just have a great territory can be a challenge. The opposite is also true, are they not making it because the territory just stinks? We teamed up with Tom Callinan to create this report using the assumptions he presents in his training seminars.

Knowing how many territories you should have is important. Too few, and the reps have it easy just waiting for prospects to call in, too many and you're facing a turnover issue as reps struggle to meet quota. This report assumes one rep is in charge of the equipment at a customer. Multiple reps per account based on business type is not applicable to this report.

This process will calculate a sales opportunity ‘value’ for each machine in a territory based upon the model category (segment) assigned. The model categories each will be assigned an AvgSellingPrice (determined by you), an AvgTurnRate in months (how long a model segment typically is in the field before being upgraded), and a RetentionRate expectation (95% is recommended assuming 5% of the base gets lost due to bankruptcy, account closing, bad service - things out of the rep's control).

Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

-This report assumes one rep is in charge of the equipment at a customer. Multiple reps per account based on business type is not applicable to this report.

-Results of report are always only as of last completed month (refreshes monthly, RM01-RM12)

-Basis for the $$ values are setup for the Model Category using the CEOJuice ModelCategory mapping application. These values are Average Selling Price, TurnRate (in Months), and the expected retention rate.

-Weighted Value = ((AvgSellingPrice / TurnRate) * Retentionrate) * 12 to arrive at an annualized value.

-Proj turn date (Projected turn date for the machine) is calcuated by using the turnrate for the machines model category (in months) and added that many months to the InstallDate on the equipment record. So the accuracy of the projected turn date is assuming you are updating the install date on the eautomate equipment record as you install machines in the field.

-The projected oppty value is derived by your selection of : AvgPrice ( as set in the Juice Model Mapping app)

-The Potential MIF Upgrade (Sold from Inventory) will reflect the value on machines that were sold out of your inventory vs the entire active MIF value (which might include MPS devices you are servicing but might not be legitimate hardware sales oppty)

Requirements:

Requirements:

1. eAuto Equipment Record must have install date to properly calculate the potential.

2. Subscription to our alert ID320 for sales rep assignment mapping. We use this mapping info for tables used on this Sales Opportunity MIF Report. If you don't have separate CRM or territories, this report will use sales rep assigned to customer record in eAuto.

3. eAuto Model Category to be updated per ID295 Mapping App.

4. Be sure you are subscribed to our alert ID157 to ensure all equipment not on contract and not serviced in X days has been marked as inactive (otherwise the waters will be muddied!).

5. In order to exclude ship ins and ship outs from territory value, please use status of, OR a territory named "Ship In" or "Ship Out," for example, so you can filter these out.
