Business Development Process
- All new building/owner information is entered in Salesforce as a lead with associated contact (CBRA and remaining Small 1. Commercial business will be added via excel upload)
- Once a lead is ready to be moved from cold calling to a business development team member an account should be created.
- Once conversation has proceeded where account is ready to move forward with project an opportunity should be created.
- Creating an opportunity creates project in our internal project dashboard.
- Once an opportunity is created it can be one of the following stages:
- Document Collection - Financial and Energy documents are being collected. This can be Energy Watch/Nextility related paperwork or direct paperwork from client.
- External Audit - (ie TRC Audit)
- Audit Completed
- Internal Audit - BlocPower engineering audit
- Active - Active Project selected for retrofit after Internal Audit
- Complete
- Cancelled
- Once an opportunity has been created if there is work that needs to be Project Managed and worked on by internal engineering team then the Business development person should create a liquid planner project from the opportunity page.
- Management of project tasks/documents when it is in Internal Audit and Active is done in either Liquid Planner or Project Dashboard
Small Commercial Stages Document Collection ->External Audit ->Audit Complete->Internal Audit->Active->Complete
CBRA Stages Document Collection ->Internal Audit->Active->Complete
Open issues
- Do we surface any of the other state changes from Project Dashboard?
- There are certain checklists for CBRA projects (ie HPD Application). There should be a way to capture checklist in Salesforce of what needs to be collected that is a biz development responsibility.
- There are two classes of documents energy and financial that need to be collected. This should also be represented in Salesforce
