What It Is
Machine learning models that predict quote-to-order conversion probability and recommend improvement actions with continuous learning from outcomes.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Rep submits quote and hopes for the best.
- Rep follows up via email/phone at random intervals.
- Customer eventually buys or doesn't (rep often surprised).
- No tracking of conversion rates or win/loss reasons.
- No predictive insights into deal risk or actions to improve odds.
Characteristics
- • ERP Systems (e.g., SAP, Visibility ERP)
- • CPQ Software (e.g., Salesforce CPQ)
- • AI & Machine Learning Platforms (e.g., Klizer AI)
- • Email & CRM Systems (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)
- • Excel & Spreadsheets
- • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Tools
- • Dashboards & Visualization Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
Pain Points
- ⚠ Manual Data Entry and Errors: Leads to inaccuracies and delays in the quoting process.
- ⚠ Lack of Real-Time Insights: Sales teams struggle to access timely information on quote status and conversion probabilities.
- ⚠ Fragmented Systems: Disconnected tools create inefficiencies and complicate data analysis.
- ⚠ Slow Approval Processes: Manual approvals delay order processing and responsiveness.
- ⚠ Limited Predictive Capability: Many companies lack advanced analytics for forecasting conversion rates.
- ⚠ Inconsistent Follow-up: Without automation, quotes may expire or be overlooked.
- ⚠ Dependence on Manual Processes: Many steps still require human intervention, increasing the risk of errors.
- ⚠ Integration Challenges: Difficulty in integrating various tools and systems can hinder seamless data flow and analytics.
Future State
(Agentic)1. ML model predicts quote-to-order conversion probability (0-100%) based on: customer engagement, price competitiveness, delivery timeline, relationship strength, past behavior.
- Agent recommends actions to improve conversion: pricing adjustments, faster delivery, financing options, executive engagement.
- Agent monitors quote aging and triggers proactive follow-ups.
- Agent captures win/loss reasons via automated surveys post-decision.
- Agent continuously learns: adjusts models based on actual outcomes to improve accuracy.
Characteristics
- • Historical quote and order data
- • Customer engagement signals (email opens, portal visits)
- • Competitive pricing intelligence
- • Customer relationship data (tenure, satisfaction)
- • Win/loss survey responses
- • Quote aging and follow-up history
Benefits
- ✓ 50-80% quote conversion rate (vs 20-40% traditional)
- ✓ 70-85% predictive accuracy for conversion probability
- ✓ Data-driven actions improve win rates 15-30%
- ✓ Proactive deal management prevents last-minute surprises
- ✓ Win/loss insights inform future pricing and strategy
- ✓ Continuous learning improves predictions over time
