Sales bottlenecks can slow down or stall the buying process, frustrating both sales teams and prospects. In B2B industries like building materials, where sales cycles are complex, identifying and eliminating these bottlenecks is vital for improved efficiency and higher conversion rates. Customer Experience (CX) audits provide a structured way to uncover pain points in the sales process and create actionable improvements. This blog explores how CX audits help remove sales bottlenecks and how Buildix ERP can facilitate this process.
What Are Sales Bottlenecks?
Sales bottlenecks are obstacles or delays that hinder the progress of deals. These can arise from unclear communication, slow response times, manual workflows, or data silos—issues that frustrate buyers and delay decision-making.
Why Use CX Audits?
CX audits evaluate every touchpoint in the buyer journey to identify areas where the customer experience breaks down or slows. By focusing on buyer perceptions and interactions, audits uncover root causes of bottlenecks that may not be obvious from internal data alone.
Key Areas CX Audits Examine
Response times to inquiries and follow-ups
Consistency and clarity of communication
Ease of accessing product and pricing information
Efficiency of order processing and delivery
Buyer feedback and satisfaction at each stage
