Salesforce contract management with Concord – streamline your sales process
Imagine that your sales team has to send orders to customers for 10 different products, with different prices and quantities for each. Sales representatives need to copy and paste the information into the contract one by one and double-check the data to prevent errors. Sales teams often complain that this is a tedious and time-consuming manual task. Your legal team is also caught in a dilemma, with a large number of contracts stored in different Google Drive folders, it is almost an impossible task to keep track of contract amendments in real-time. The legal team not only has to handle a lot of contract review work every day but also has to suffer from the hassle of contract clutter.
Is this happening in your business? In fact, integrating your contract management software with Salesforce can effectively alleviate the pain points of your legal and sales teams. Concord contract management software for Salesforce allows you to streamline your sales and contract management process by automating manual tasks, coordinating complex workflows, and eliminating unnecessary risks.
Before we explain how to manage your contracts with Concord contract management software for Salesforce, let’s first get to know what Salesforce and Salesforce contract management actually means.
Salesforce is a cloud-based CRM software that allows businesses to better connect with partners, customers, and prospects. Companies can use the Salesforce CRM to track customer activity, market to customers, and much more.
A CRM tool is an essential part of any business strategy today. Salesforce allows you to manage all your customer’s information in one place. You can view all customer data inside one tool and make sure that you know who is contacting them at all times. This will help you better understand what your clients need and how they want it delivered to them.
Salesforce contract management helps companies effectively close deals and manage customer requests by covering the entire contract management process from contract creation to storage, search, and renewal. Salesforce allows sales teams to easily create contracts, seamlessly negotiate terms with customers and approve electronic signatures all in one place. Once the contract has been signed, the legal team can continue to approve the contract on the Salesforce platform without switching to another one.
However, to efficiently manage your contracts you should integrate your contract management software with Salesforce. The best feature of Concord contract management software’s integration with Salesforce is that all of this automation happens within Salesforce and enables real-time, two-way migration of contract data. With one click, Sales teams can automatically extract product data, create and send this order form with every product line item included — no manual entry, no worrying about formatting tables, data omission, etc. Automating the entire contract management process will speed up the pace of doing business and closing deals, enhance compliance, strengthen order accuracy and improve the employee and customer experience.
