The buyer journey is now as in a way that your buyer wants it
In today’s digital landscape, buyers are more demanding than ever before. Especially in the early stages of the customer journey, most prefer self-service options for a better evaluation.
In this case, for most of the prospects who don’t want to be the ones in the evaluation stage, business owners can lead them to the CPQ platform for a test, configuration and feature evaluation. Means sellers can guide their buyers once they’re ready to have a product bundle or a conversation around the pricing.
Product configurations are ready to demo now
In the traditional B2B sales cycle, sellers have to make their customers wait for the product’s configuration, demotivating the sales process.
Now, presenting a custom product configuration is ready to present for buyers thanks to Salesforce’s CPQ solution.
Because CPK owns the responsibility of product configuration, there is no custom coding required anymore.
All in all, it leads to a unified approach between different departments for a better operational process and sales is faster than ever before!

Physical products in B2B have always been a problem because buyers had to see them statically with 2D photo properties.
With a CPQ virtual demo of a product, it is precisely the same as how it would be in a trade show!
CPQ helps deals to be closed fast by connecting everything on one platform
Time is the most crucial ingredient of a sales process and the CPQ solution helps sellers overcome the challenges of the pricing process and shorten the deal closure.
