Funnel Vision – The Board Game
Funnel Vision is a sales training game that helps sellers see just what sales funnel management is and show them through gameplay the impact and consequences of their choices, behaviours and actions.
It shows the value in customer management, prospecting, marketing and prioritising the right sales opportunities.
It’s a dynamic, immersive and engaging way to SHOW and INVOLVE sellers on the criticality of the sales process.
Using a Sales Process
Using SPANCOP as the sales process, sellers will spend money on marketing activities and manage their time to create Suspects for their business or territory.
