Sales

What it is

The process for turning qualified interest into revenue through discovery, demonstration, proposals, objection handling, and follow-up.

Why it matters

Marketing creates attention; a defined sales process converts it and exposes why real buyers hesitate.

What Flir develops

Sales stages, qualification criteria, scripts, proposal structure, objections library, and pipeline measures

Target objective

Build a measurable route from qualified prospect to paying customer with known conversion rates.

Bloom's B2B partnership pitch helps plant shops reduce returns and add recurring service revenue to each sale.

Monitoring brief

Signals Flir should keep checking as this part of the plan evolves.

  • Win rate and sales-cycle length
  • Repeated objections and lost-deal reasons
  • Pricing and procurement changes
