Adding Disqualify Reasons

Creating a list of reasons why you might disqualify a prospect, and having them easily available to choose from is a great way to record and analyze the data in the future.

Not all prospects in a Process will fit your qualification criteria and enter the pipeline as a qualified Sales Project. They may not have a problem that you are able to resolve, the client may be too small or perhaps not have a suitable budget.

Additional uses

Recording these reasons also gives you the opportunity to deal with these disqualified prospects in clever ways, depending on their reason for disqualification.

Example - A prospect that has been disqualified due to the reason "Not Ready Now" could be brought back into your Process in 12 months' time, ready for you to try again. You can do this using Membrain's powerful Automated Events feature.
