Automate Deal Value with Our New Products Feature

Calculating the value of a potential deal is not always quick or easy when you’re selling. You can enter an estimated deal value, but wouldn’t it be nice if this deal value was automatically calculated? Well, now you can have Agile calculate and automate deal value through the use of our new Products feature.

The idea behind the feature is simple but powerful: enter a list or your products and their book value, then when you create a deal you just select the products and the expected quantity for the deal. The deal value then is automatically calculated based on the products you’ve selected. You can also apply a discount to a given product, reflecting the actual value of the sale.

This new Products feature is just another way to bring a little more automation to your sales process. Here’s how you can automate deal value and get started with this new feature right away.

How to Use Products with Deals

Products can be added to individual deals, and these products will accurately calculate the value of the deal. When creating deals in the deal popup, the selection of products will be added to the total of the deal value. This displays the total value of the products in the deal value.

You also can manage the discount respective to the individual deal. The discount will be automatically updated to the deal value once applied. The discount field at the bottom will let you specify the discount for the individual deal. The discount can be applied in terms of value or percent.

The quantity of the products can be updated directly from the deal creation page by clicking on the ‘Qty’ column of the products table.

To summarize: Deal value = [product value * quantity] – discount

Agile CRM is constantly improving, and our new Products feature is a prime example of that. Give it a try!
