In an ideal world, your CRM is the backbone of your sales and customer data and insights. But this can only happen if you and your reps take a timely and meticulous approach to filling everything in. Otherwise, you end up with a messy and incomplete CRM that hinders sales productivity and forecasting accuracy.

The good news is that it’s possible to use various automations that will reduce manual work, remove room for error, and seriously streamline your sales process within your CRM.

So if you’re a Salesforce admin, sales manager, or working in RevOps, we want to share 5 automated flows designed by GetAccept for Salesforce to help you transform your sales efficiency at different stages of the sales process, including:

Let’s dive into it.

1. Auto-create Digital Sales Rooms based on changes in Opportunity Stages

When a lead is qualified by sales and converted into an Opportunity, it’s important to follow up with the right documents quickly.

Automating the content creation can increase efficiency and maintain a unified sales process.

After a lead is qualified and converted into an Opportunity, GetAccept automatically creates a deal room based on your templates, showcasing related sales documents like welcome videos, presentations, use cases, and more. Once created, the deal room will be in draft mode, which allows your reps to add personal touches and share the content effectively.

2. Identify and track key stakeholders

One key step in accelerating your deals is identifying and engaging more stakeholders early in the sales process. But when your reps have many ongoing deals, it’s hard to keep track of which stakeholders are absent and which deals you should act on.

Here’s how the GetAccept integration for Salesforce helps you automate the stakeholder management process:

2.1 Activity tracking and live notifications

Every time a stakeholder views the document, leaves a comment or chat message, or forwards the document to other stakeholders, your rep will get a live notification within Salesforce, making it easier to follow up with the right action.

2.2 Auto-create a task in Salesforce if key stakeholders are missing / not engaging with your content

If there haven’t been stakeholders invited to view a Deal Room, you can set up a flow that auto-creates a task for your reps within Salesforce to remind them to follow up and add the appropriate contacts.

2.3 Auto-save newly-added stakeholders as Contacts within Salesforce

When a new stakeholder is invited to view the sales documents you shared with them earlier, GetAccept’s integration for Salesforce automatically saves the stakeholders as Contacts within Salesforce, including name, title, and email address.

3. Auto-update deal stages based on Mutual Action Plan

Salesforce should be your single source of truth, but in most cases, it’s far from that.

The solution? Our Mutual Action Plan automation.

A Mutual Action Plan consists of a set of milestones, tasks, and deadlines agreed upon by both sales reps and their buyers. By using a Mutual Action Plan, your sales team can better align stakeholders and collaborate with them to move deals to a signed contract more efficiently.

4. Auto-create a dynamic quote using Product Line Items saved in Salesforce

Sharing your quotes in a PDF can be problematic – you have to generate and resend a new version every time there’s a change.

GetAccept’s pricing table automatically fetches Product Line Items stored in your CRM, creating dynamic and mobile-friendly quotes in no time.

5. Automated quote-to-cash process (sync the signed contract back to your CRM)

Your job is not done when the contract is signed – there’s still more admin work to do. You have to save the signed contract to Salesforce, make sure the billing address and VAT number are correctly stored, and ensure the invoice is sent out accordingly.

With GetAccept’s integration for Salesforce, your quote-to-cash process is super smooth and fast.

Conclusion

Automating your sales process with GetAccept and Salesforce makes everything more effective and efficient. From creating content and tracking activities to managing stakeholders and updating deal stages, automation takes the hassle out of your hands.
