Sales Process Flowchart Symbols
The Sales Process
For most commercial organizations, the sales process is inherent to its existence and ability to create profit. Although each company will achieve this aim in its own way, the core selling process remains similar throughout — a potential buyer or prospective customer exchanges money with an organization in return for goods or services. Despite this rather simplistic definition, there exists huge scope as to which approach is taken. Indeed, it is not uncommon for the sales division to be the largest within a corporate structure, employing a team of salespeople, analysts, and the sales managers, who are in charge of sales division operations.
Sales operations is an umbrella term for all the processes and business activities that a key to running a sales division. The sales operation team is responsible for its smooth and efficient running, and to act as a liaison between other parts of company structure, such as IT, Legal, HR, Finance, or Marketing. There is a continual focus on sales process engineering, which is the analysis and refinement of a sales process in order to increase its efficiency or to identify problems within the workflow; other benefits might include the ability to standardize customer response into the form of a process, or as a platform to conduct buyer and seller risk management. A sales process itself is defined by strategy, sales targets, quotas, forecasting and demand; some theories also ascribe to a generic framework to build your process around — Rich, Spiro and Stanton identify 8 steps that make up a sales process in Management of a Sales Force (12th Ed. p. 66). They are as follows:
- Prospecting/initial contact
- Pre-approach — planning the sale
- Identifying and cross questioning
- Need assessment
- Presentation
- Meeting objections
- Gaining commitment
- Follow-up
The ideal method with which to represent these step-by-step processes is through the flowchart medium. Using flowchart symbols create the color-code for your sales objects to convey things like who's responsible, critical resource for process flow, risk levels or milestone critical decisions, etc.
Example 1. Sales Process Flowchart — Hunting and Fishing License
The most easier way of creating the visually engaging and informative Sales Process Flowcharts is to create the new ConceptDraw document and to use the predesigned vector symbols offered in 6 libraries of the Sales Flowcharts Solution:
- Sales Flowchart
- Sales Workflows
- Sales Arrows
- Sales Department
- Sales Steps
- Sales Symbols
Example 2. Sales Process Flowchart Symbols
These libraries are the real godsend, because now you don't need to be an artist for drawing professional looking and attractive Sales Process Flowcharts.
Example 3. Sales Process Flowchart Software
This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Sales Arrows and Sales Symbols libraries from the Sales Flowcharts solution. These samples successfully demonstrate solution's capabilities and professional results you can achieve. An experienced user spent 10-15 minutes creating each of them.
The Sales Flowcharts solution is a great tool for anyone involved in sales process management. A user can show a workflow at multiple hierarchical levels across and entire business, on a single diagram, thanks to the wide array of graphics and templates at their disposal.

A process flow chart is a sequence diagram on events, actions, tasks and decisions that are visualized in a form of inputs and outputs. Such flow chart involves a defined number of standard symbols and notation keys used to help one understand and pass the information.
Process flow charts have become a day-to-day tool for chemical engineers, technologists and production engineers as well as software developers. However, their use has recently increased in other areas such as business, manufacturing and, especially a service sector.

There are many ways to define the flow of information within a system. Structured-systems analysis method often uses data flow diagrams to show data flow, data storages and data processing visualization. These diagrams are easy to develop and quite useful.
Here is a dataflow diagram presenting an example of the manufacturing process flow. The oval process shapes represent a process that controls data within the current system. The process may produce data or make some action based on data. Data flows are represented by lines. They show the movement of information through the system. The direction of the data flow is depicted by the arrow. The external entities are shown by rectangles. They represent the external entities interacting with the system. The data store objects (unclosed rectangles) are used to show data bases participating in a process flow.

A competent delegation of responsibilities between workers guarantees business success in most cases. At first sight, it might seem that workflow diagram symbols are quite similar to a regular flowchart. But workflow diagram is a more accurate way to present working processes.
Workflow diagrams are helpful for a working process analyzation, to depict a pathway of process issues, personalize responsibilities and identify resources that will help to optimize a workflow. Generally, Workflow diagram deploys flowchart symbols for displaying work process steps and relationships. But, often it require some additions and improvements to become more professional and illustrative. The Workflow solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides the user with a big library of symbols that are designed especially for workflow diagrams.

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams.
This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.
