A sales representative has a low conversion rate during theproposal phase of the pipeline.

A customer-centric proposalis one that emphasizes the value and benefits that the solution will provide to the customer, rather than the features and specifications of the product or service. By focusing more on the anticipated outcomes, the sales rep can show how the solution aligns with the customer’s objectives and needs, and how it will help them achieve their desired results. This will also help the sales rep differentiate themselves from the competition and build trust and credibility with the customer. References:
