by AeyeCRM on Dec 10, 2025

Client Overview

 

Our client is a fast-growing B2B SaaS provider seeking to scale its sales operations. The company faced challenges in managing leads, nurturing prospects, generating quotes, obtaining digital signatures, invoicing, and synchronizing sales data with its ERP system.

Business Challenges

 

  • Disjointed lead management and prospecting processes
  • Manual quote generation and approval, leading to delays and errors
  • Inefficient contract signature collection
  • Time-consuming invoicing and reconciliation with ERP
  • Lack of unified data for sales and finance teams

Solution Implementation

 

  1. Salesforce Sales Process Design
  • Lead Prospecting & Capture:
    Implemented Salesforce Sales Cloud to centralize all lead data and automate lead capture from web forms, marketing campaigns, and outbound prospecting.
  • Lead Nurturing:
    Automated lead scoring and nurturing journeys using Salesforce workflows. Marketing and sales teams collaborated to qualify leads, ensuring only sales-ready prospects were handed off to account executives.
  • Opportunity Management:
    Customized opportunity stages to reflect the SaaS sales cycle, including demo scheduling, needs analysis, and proposal stages. Automated reminders and task assignments kept deals moving forward.
  1. Automated Quoting and Digital Signatures
  • Salesforce CPQ Integration:
    Deployed Salesforce CPQ to streamline quote generation. Sales reps could configure pricing, discounts, and product bundles directly within Salesforce, reducing manual errors and approval bottlenecks.
  • Digital Contract Signing:
    Integrated DocuSign with Salesforce, enabling clients to review and sign quotes digitally. Signed documents were automatically attached to the opportunity record, ensuring compliance and audit readiness.
  1. Invoicing and ERP Integration
  • Automated Invoicing:
    Upon contract signature, Salesforce triggered invoice creation. The invoice data was sent directly to the client and synced with the company’s ERP system for financial reconciliation and reporting.
  • ERP Integration:
    Developed a bi-directional integration between Salesforce and the ERP, ensuring real-time synchronization of client, contract, and payment data. This eliminated duplicate data entry and improved financial visibility56.
