When you know what to do at each stage, it is easier than when you don't. Even the best things can go wrong if there are no clear stages or milestones, so keep this in mind.

A sales process is a good way to filter out low-potential leads and identify prospects who are most likely to buy your product. This will make the sales time shorter and reduce the amount of time spent on prospects that are unlikely to convert. It will also enhance your client's lifetime value by focusing your sales efforts on the greatest opportunities.
