Membrains Dashboards allow you to create powerful graphs and charts - fully tailored and customizable to your business, stragety and key metrics. 

And we understand you want full control over how you visualize your data. So we've made some improvements to help these dashboards become even more visual, to help you spot trends and see vital information at a glance.

Learn how Dashboards can give you more insight into your Sales efforts today!

Sorting Values

New options allow you to change the order information in the graphs you create, so you can view values not just alphabetically, but in other ways that make more sense to the data in the graph itself.

So now you can quickly sort By Value (largest to smallest, and vice versa), and also By Direction Dates, Stages, Health, Status and even custom field values.

Probability Color Scale

A new color scale helps you visualize how probability is distributed across the pipeline, spanning from a "weaker" color to a “stronger, more positive” color as probability increases.

Take a fresh look at the value of the pipeline and see at a glance how that relates to their probability.

n todays world of complex B2B sales, Sales Professionals play the leading role in generating revenue for businesses.

But when we take a closer look, it becomes clear that effective selling really is an inter-departmental affair. Individuals outside of the Sales Team often have a direct impact on the overall success of the sales team, with CRM assistants, technical resources, project managers, and other staff being involved at different milestones in the customer journey.  

So in order to make this collaboration between teams flow smoothly, we've introduced a new type of "light" Membrain account we call a Lite User Account - helping you involve all those key people in your business play their part and contribute to success.

 

These Lite Accounts are a bit more limited than a Full Account but can do all sorts of interesting things!

These accounts can't:

• Manage, win or archive sales projects, change sales project information or progress the sales process
• Create, qualify or disqualify prospects
• Be an admin, account manager, a coach for a sales team or have sales goals
• Have access to analytical tools or receive the weekly pipeline health report email
• Import/export information or do batch changes in the database

However, they absolutely can:

• Have access to all CRM information in companies, contacts, and deal information on prospects and sales projects
• Edit CRM information such as contact details, or company information
• Use Membrain's task management tools, calendar capabilities including sharing and syncing their calendar with the sales team and creating notes
• Send emails using templates and snippets, email tracking, Membrain Meet, and many other productivity boosters
• Use the mobile app Membrain Go
• Use Membrain comments to coordinate and collaborate with the sales team in every single deal and account
• Complete sales process steps needing their expertise that are specifically assigned to them. A huge team-selling win!

Sounds like something that could be interesting for your team?  Reach out to your Customer Success representative or email sales@membrain.com today and we'll go through it together!

It's a well-known fact that effectively qualifying leads is a crucial first step in the world of complex B2B sales.

But what happens once a prospect enters the pipeline and becomes an Active Sales Project? Situations can change and stakeholders attitudes towards a project can turn sour overnight.
Now is not the time to stop qualifying.

With that in mind, we've given Qualifiers a new lease of life by adding Importance to Qualifiers - highlighting the level of concern associated with a specific step and its Qualifier.

Add Importance to Qualifiers and use colors to indicate the severity of the situation, at a glance.

Steps are highlighted:

Blue - coaching advice
Yellow - needs attention
Red - action required

We hope you like this new update to Qualifiers and are excited to take a step towards a more versatile Sales Process today. Learn about Qualifiers and their new Visualized Importance

According to latest research, a complex B2B sale - with associated complex buying decision process - now involves an average of 6.8 actively engaged Stakeholders, sometimes more. And of course, we understand the importance of identifying and managing these Stakeholders and how this can ultimately affect the outcome of an opportunity.

To help you with this endeavour, we've updated the functionality in both the Sales Project List view and the Active Pipeline view to allow you to Group Sales Projects By Stakeholder, giving you the insight you need to manage common Stakeholders across a subsection of Sales Projects.  

But it doesn't stop there, you can also Group Sales Projects By Stakeholder Company Name, helping you manage indirect Stakeholders such as:

• Partners who have a stake in Sales Projects
• Internal Team Members who have been allocated a specific role
• 3rd party Companies - example below showing external IT Companies involved

And of course, this new functionality spans across all areas of Membrain including The Dashboard, giving you limitless possibilities for a whole new set of insights into how Stakeholders influence your success.

We're dedicated to giving you the best tools availalbe to help you manage Stakeholders. Check out these other features already available in Membrain like Stakeholders Influence and Attitude and the Decision Team Map.

Goal setting is an important part of motivating and holding salespeople accountable. The right goals give salespeople something to stretch for, plus the satisfaction of achievement when they do.

All this is great for the individual Salesperson, but what if we want to look at the Sales Team as an entity unto to itself?

Membrain has just introduced Team Based Goals - offering you the flexibility of tracking each Sales Persons personal performance, while separately keeping a close eye on the performance of the Sales Team as a separate reportable unit.

Lets take a look at 2 very different scenarios where this can be beneficial.

1. As a Sales Leader, you want to track Sales Performance of the overall team, not individuals. The main focus is not on who is bringing in the revenue, rather its the group effort that counts. In this case, setting a Team Based goal which all Sales Representatives contribute to will provide you with the information you need to track and forecast overall Sales Performance of the team itself.

2. As an individual, you want to keep track of your own personal sales goals, without skewing overall Team Goal expectations. Individual goals are great for tracking personal revenue goals, for motivation or perhaps keeping on track for commissions. But when combining each individuals goal, the overall Teams Goal can be skewed and reflect a larger than expected outcome.
In this case, creating an additional Team Based goal on top of the individual goals allows you to track the Teams performance as a separate unit, helping you see it from both perspectives. 

Learn all about Setting up Goals in Membrain for both individuals and Teams, and see the benefits goals can bring to your business today!
