What is NetSuite Sales Force Automation?
NetSuite CRM sales force automation (SFA) capabilities power your sales organization with unified processes — from opportunity, upsell and quote management to sales forecasting, order management, fulfillment and commission payments. NetSuite’s SFA solution gives your sales team unprecedented visibility into every aspect of the customer relationship, including support cases and back-office information such as contracts, inventory and order history. With real-time dashboards, sales representatives and managers gain better insights to sell, upsell and properly set customer expectations.
Improve Collaboration and Efficiency
A central customer database amplifies employee collaboration by breaking down the silos that divide sales, accounting, credit, purchasing and other back-office functions. Improve efficiency by eliminating multiple sources of data — and the redundant processes needed to support them.
NetSuite Sales Force Automation Features
Equip sales teams with real-time access to prospect, customer, opportunity and order records, and build reliability, predictability and trust into the sales process.
Opportunity Management
Standardize best practices for winning deals by linking your sales process with the customer buying process. Manage opportunities across status, revenue, key contacts, notes and related documents. Provide sales managers with a complete view of all leads and opportunities in the pipeline.
Quote Management
Streamline the quote and order process with a fully integrated quote-to-order, cash and fulfillment solution. Easily convert quotes into approved sales orders and automatically process them via links to back-end financials. Provide recommendations based on intelligent upsell management and buying-pattern insights.
Sales Forecasting
Make sales more predictable with real-time forecasting and a system of checks and balances that triangulates the sales forecast. Allow users to categorize transaction forecast types to appropriately identify opportunities, quotes and estimates. Utilize probability forecasting with adjustable weighted measurement of pending opportunities, quotes and orders. Analyze actual sales and recurring revenue projections in forecasts and variances.
Incentive Compensation Management
Design and manage complex multitiered commission plans based on multiple criteria, such as quota, quantity sold, service item, product profitability and even incentives, including one-time “spiffs.” Visibility into sales compensation calculations ensures the sales team spends more time selling and less time double-checking their commissions. Split commissions among team members on the same transaction, and easily calculate indirect commissions that are due to managers and executives.
Contract Renewals
Automate contract renewals through a flexible and powerful process that lets you track renewable assets and maximize renewal revenue. Gain real-time reporting and visibility into your installed base and renewal pipeline, as well as the status of renewal revenue, upsells and returns. Simplify revenue recognition by having the contract renewal and billing follow one process, while revenue recognition can follow a different process, all from within NetSuite.
Intelligent Item Recommendations
Leverage data on customer purchase history and buying patterns to increase average order size and order frequency. NetSuite Intelligent Item Recommendations uses AI to provide personalized product recommendations. Recommendations are configurable to prioritize aggregate buying behavior such as “people who bought X also bought Y,” recently added items, items the shopper has likely not seen before, and items similar to one another. These recommendations are presented when entering a sales order in NetSuite and also on a customer facing NetSuite ecommerce solution.
