Quick responses to customer requests are essential for maintaining satisfaction and minimizing churn. An effective Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solution empowers sales teams to generate accurate and competitive quotes swiftly. Companies using the right CPQ have seen significant reductions in quote creation timeāup to 85%, with one client, Manitou, reducing their turnaround from 30 days to just 1 day. Additionally, leveraging a CPQ can enhance revenue from existing customers, leading to increases of 2-5% on average, and even up to 20% for some users.
Here are three key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure CPQ effectiveness:
Quote Creation Rate: The percentage of quotes generated through CPQ software compared to manual methods; high adoption reflects user satisfaction.
Elapsed Response Time: The time taken from customer quote request to delivery, which should be minimized to improve customer experience.
Error Rate: The percentage of quotes issued with errors, which should be low to ensure accuracy and professionalism.
In conclusion, PROS Smart CPQ helps businesses enhance sales efficiency and customer engagement through AI-driven insights, delivering timely, personalized offers that keep companies competitive in the fast-paced digital marketplace.
