Sales Force Automation
Streamline Repetitive Tasks and Close More Deals with Sales Process Automation
Sales process automation helps you nurture your leads, close more deals, and create a remarkable sales experience — all automatically.
What is sales process automation?
Add up the hours it takes your sales team to run through their daily administrative tasks: scheduling appointments, following up with leads via email or phone call, prioritizing leads, tallying up the numbers, and logging the outcome of their efforts. That’s a hefty, demanding workload that can be taxing on both your team’s time and their productivity. Did you know there’s a way to take most of this manual work off your plate?
Sales process automation (also called sales force automation) takes all repetitive sales tasks and drops them into one automated, repeatable system, facilitating a smooth experience tailored to any sales model as well as the unique buyer’s journey. Imagine the rate at which your sales team could close sales with a short, predictable sales cycle. What if they could avoid all menial sorting and prioritizing, freeing them up to speak only to those who are likely to buy? That’s the beauty of automating your sales force.

Why does your sales process need sales force automation?
For a small sales team, fully automating your sales processes puts a full-stop to all menial tasks your sales reps and sales managers conduct over the course of their day. In doing so, you’re equipping your sales force to work smarter, not harder.
Generate more sales

Where Does Ontraport Fit?
Ontraport’s sales force automation gives you the ability to generate more prospects, nurture your leads and close more sales. The platform allows you to optimize your entire sales process to create a remarkable and consistent sales experience for your customers.
Regardless of your industry or products, Ontraport can be tailored to your unique sales model. Automated lead prioritization — based on the degree of interaction with your business — feeds only the hottest leads to your sales team. When a qualified lead has entered your pipeline, automated task prompts can notify your team to perform a non-automated action, such as a follow-up phone call to a lead. Task “outcomes” further streamline the process by allowing sales reps to choose a designated outcome after a task has been completed. What all this means for you is a solution-oriented sales cycle requiring little to no manual data entry.

“The return on investment with Ontraport is huge. We are a sales and service organization for water conditioning systems. We mostly deal with homeowners. The automated messaging and task management is the best investment we have made in our company. Humans make errors. Ontraport ensures that my clients get a consistent experience and our referrals prove it. Nothing is worse for goodwill than dropping the ball on a client. We have our Ontraport system set up to ensure that never happens.”

Examples of sales process automation using Ontraport
Automate demo requests
Ontraport makes it easy for businesses that demo products to streamline their sales process. Your sales funnel depends heavily on this lead qualification step, so it’s critical that each task is executed consistently and correctly. In Ontraport, when a warm lead signs up for a demo on your website’s demo request form, the system triggers a Task to a sales rep with a prompt to call the lead. Prior to the call, the system can send a reminder to the lead via email or SMS to boost the likelihood of attendance. Once the call has been completed, the sales rep may select an outcome from a predetermined series of custom outcomes such as “Made Sale” or “Not Interested.” Those can then trigger a number of automated outcomes, based on your business model, ranging from a simple follow-up email to subsequent phone calls.
Offer free consultations
Phone or video call consultations are opportune moments to make new sales using a combination of Tasks and internal forms in Ontraport. Rather than burden your prospects with filling out an additional web form beyond a consultation request, your sales staff can enter any data collected during your consultations into an Ontraport Form on their behalf. Here’s how it works in Ontraport: Any time someone submits a consultation request on a web form on your website, an automated trigger Task prompts the appropriate team member to reach out to this prospect. The Task will include instructions on how to facilitate the consultation as well as a link to an internal web form to collect any additional information the team member can gather from the prospect. This eliminates any likely drop-off on your web forms and allows you to qualify prospects for your products or services while acquainting them with your offering.
Optimize inbound call sales
If your sales model revolves around inbound calls, all reps receiving calls are able to capture lead info on internal forms to be used in subsequent sales or marketing automation depending on the quality of lead. For instance, your next step may be a follow-up email with a link to a sales page with targeted content based on the data you entered about the lead during your call. From there the lead will be able to buy your product or be pushed further down your sales pipeline.
Streamline inbound sales
With a streamlined inbound sales funnel in Ontraport, you can support your prospects through the buyer journey by sending them to targeted landing pages pertaining to their unique pain points, interests or goals. When new leads visit your sales page, they’re prompted to fill out a quick survey form, the results of which allow you to profile your lead and get insight into their motive for interacting with your business. Based on their survey answers, each prospect is sent targeted emails gradually priming them to purchase your product. From there, you’re able to feed them to your sales team and close the sale.
Systemize outbound sales
For sales reps tasked with emailing high-impact leads one-by-one, tasks can be set to perform any action upon completion of a goal. In this case, your goal could be to receive an email response from a lead to your personal inbox. Actions can include an automated prompt to a sales rep to follow up with a lead via email or phone. Afterwards, the outcome of the follow-up correspondence can be logged and used to trigger a number of additional actions on a campaign.
Utilize lead scoring and routing
Not all cold leads added to your database are ready to buy; in fact, most aren’t. Lead qualification lets you score leads based on behavior and explicit contact information. Once you've established a lead scoring framework, Ontraport delivers leads of only the utmost quality to your sales team automatically. This happens by assigning leads a point value. Once they hit a threshold, determined by you, leads are routed to designated sales reps on your team OR added to a Cold Lead Nurturing funnel for further attention.
