Feeling the stress of the quarter? Time for the Birst Pipeline Stress Test, free from Birst.

The quarter is nearly halfway over and September 30th is rapidly approaching.  You can see your current pipeline in your SFA solution, but how can you really know if you will make your forecast?  Some deals will drop out, some new deals will come in, and Salesforce.com is only telling you what a bunch of combined guesses add up to.

Want a more reliable predictor?  It's time to take the Birst Pipeline Stress Test.

The Stress Test gives you greater confidence in your forecast, since it tells you where you stand based on your actual historical results, not guesses.  The Birst Pipeline Stress Test Dashboard lets you know:
  •  What the historical odds are that deals at each stage will close or progress.
  •  A prediction of where the current quarter will end up, based on historical probabilities.
  •  A forecast of what proportion of deals will slip into the next quarter.
  •  A prediction of how new deals will likely affect current quarter pipeline.

The Stress Test helps you move beyond hunches to gain confidence in your current revenue trajectory. It's also fast - so that you can prioritize resources and maximize the probability of success for this quarter.


And it's free.

The Birst Pipeline Stress Test consists of three easy steps:
  1.  Apply. Birst will check to ensure that you have the information available to complete the Stress Test and both organizations will complete confidentiality agreements to protect your information and interests. 
  2.  Birst runs the analysis for you. We run the Pipeline Stress Test on your current Salesforce.com account. This process requires only a couple of days to complete. 
  3. Review your results. Birst reviews the forecast dashboard with you and shows you the actions that you should take to secure your quarterly sales outcome.
And did I mention that it's free?  Start to finish takes only 3 days, with no other commitments and no crazy IT requirements.  Getting started is easy.
