For years I had worked and worked knowing there was always more work around the corner; and when a customer called, I put them on a list of “things to do”.

I had one customer who, until recently, I thought was my best client and my companies “bread and butter.”

In 2015, they provided my company with almost $300,000 worth of work.

In 2016, they were keeping us busy now and then and, as always, handing me projects to provide estimates for them, which in some cases were quite substantial and time-consuming.

Fortunately, I implemented PipelineDeals CRM and started keeping track of my numbers, as well as sources that the revenue was being generated from.

Knowing your top 10 Sources of CLOSED sales is HUGE!

Do you know your Top Ten Sources of CLOSED Sales, with the real numbers to back them up?

To my surprise, after utilizing PipelineDeals for a little over a year, I found what I thought to be my “best” customer was actually third in line and slipping quickly to lower on down the list.

Moreover, what I thought to be my “best” customer was also very demanding of my time; the rest were not.

Also, my “best” customer referred me to very few other customers, whereas my first and second ranking sources provided me referrals over and over again.

We have all heard Steve Burnett say that they would not have scaled Burnett Painting as near as fast had they not used PipelineDeals, and now…

PipelineDeals has become a vital part of scaling my company, and sourcing our revenue has never been easier.

As you can see, revenue is color-coded and can be modified as new sources are added or eliminated.

To add a source on Pipeline Deals you “click” on your profile picture and a drop-down menu appears:

Click Account Settings:

Click Sources toward the lower left:

You can add, modify or delete sources.

This will allow you to hone in on the specific sources that are providing your business with positive revenue and also limit resources to the sources that are taking away your precious time and efforts.

A quick snapshot of the business is also available on the home screen of Pipeline deals where you can view your financial picture as according to the deals that you have entered and move through your sales funnel.

Please note that if a deal is not changed in status (estimated, won, loss, etc.) during the sales process, the numbers will become skewed.

An added bonus is that PipelineDeals displays your “win ratio” percentage.

No more guessing or pretending to know our numbers as the numbers are here in black and white.

About the Author

As a newly single father of two from MI, he struggled to start over as a paint contractor in FL, going door to door. His situation was so bad, even the IRS had mercy on him.

 Feeling completely hopeless, he remembered the story of King Solomon praying for wisdom. Could it be so easy? 

He felt he had absolutely nothing to lose. So, as a bankrupt, divorced, high school dropout, single father of 2 young kids, now living 1250 miles away from all friends and family, started to pray for wisdom.
 And while he continues to wait for the wisdom to arrive, what did come was an insatiable desire to learn and read books… 
Thanks to God for giving him the burning passion to read books, and attend seminars, (oh and winning the wife lottery) he not only cracks the success code and overcomes the struggle, but also streamlines his painting business in less than 3 years, published a how to book, then sold the company. Now he leads a business coaching company for painting contractors so he can help other businesses, like yours, to do the same. Hear more... http://www.DYBCoach.com/01 Or JoinDYB.com
