    The definition of a sales pipeline is:

    • Selling pipes in market

    • Active sales opportunities in various stages of a company’s defined sales process

    • Managing a proper supply chain

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Active sales opportunities in various stages of a company’s defined sales process
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "active sales opportunities in various stages of a company's defined sales process". This definition refers to the concept of a sales pipeline, which represents the different stages that a potential sale goes through before it is closed. It includes all the active sales opportunities that a company is currently pursuing, from initial contact to closing the deal. The sales pipeline helps companies track and manage their sales process, allowing them to prioritize leads, forecast revenue, and identify areas for improvement.

    Below is an image showing two Pipelines with the same TOTAL value. Which is the healthier pipeline?

    • A

    • B

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    In the given image, both pipelines have the same TOTAL value. However, to determine which pipeline is healthier, we need more information. Without additional details or criteria for assessing pipeline health, it is not possible to determine which pipeline is healthier based solely on the provided image.

    Sales pipeline has many closely related terms that are mistakenly used as synonyms:

    • Sales process

    • Sales funnel

    • Sales forecast

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All the above" because sales pipeline, sales process, sales funnel, and sales forecast are all closely related terms in the field of sales. While they may have slightly different meanings and nuances, they all refer to various stages and aspects of the sales journey, from prospecting and lead generation to closing deals and predicting future sales.

    If the current month is January, and you are looking at someone's Pipeline with Close Dates limited to January, which Pipeline looks the healthiest?

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    For the current month, the healthiest pipeline has a majority of their opportunities past the Proposal stage and into Probable, Verbal, & Contract territory. This means what they "estimated" would close this month is further down in the sales funnel.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A Pipeline is created by the following information:

    • Proposal/Contract Amount

    • Expected Close Date/Actual Close Date/Declined Date

    • Last Modified Date

    • Pipeline Stage (prospect, proposal, verbal, contract, etc.)

    • You told Nathaniel in your 1:1

    • Probability of Close (%)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Proposal/Contract Amount
    A. Expected Close Date/Actual Close Date/Declined Date
    A. Pipeline Stage (prospect, proposal, verbal, contract, etc.)
    A. Probability of Close (%)
    Explanation
    Incorrect Answer Explanation:

    - Last Modified Date: Your pipeline from a monthly perspective is not intended to show your "activity" or what you are working on. Do not mistake modified date with close date--put as close to the actual estimated close date as you can and you will have a healthier pipeline!

    - You told Nathaniel in your 1:1: Telling your manager what deals are coming in is great, but does not make up for updating in Salesforce. Try using your Salesforce pipeline to demonstrate to your manager what you have tee'd up!
