  1. A long drawn-out sales cycle is an indication that you are not using an appropriate web quoting software tools to create quotes. This occurs, many times due to complex or configurable nature of products. Many value added resellers (VARS) have catalogs containing a wide range of possible configurations. Dealing with such complex ordering can become tricky if you are not using a CPQ solution. You will need to move to a CPQ solution due to the following reasons: Unable to Handle Complex Quoting Requirements As the complexity of product offerings increase, it can become difficult to handle quoting requirements.

This is because, while you are a preparing a quote, the CPQ software automatically offers upsell options that are appropriate to the products included in the quote. Thus with CPQ, you get an automated guide of relevant upsell opportunities during quote creation. In a way, CPQ helps to upsell products with maximum success. So to make the most of upselling opportunities, you need to use a CPQ solution.

However, if you are serious about closing the deal, you need to create and send complex quote quickly to the customer using CPQ sales quoting software.
