An Excel-based Sales Pipeline Funnel Graphic template has been added to the extensive Business Tools Store portfolio.

It allows you to quickly answer two questions:

Based on a specific number of New Leads how many Orders will I generated?

How many New Leads do I need to generate a specific number of Orders?

It also calculates and shows graphically the number of Opportunities at each stage of the Sales Pipeline.

It is an excellent tool to review and analyse the impact of a range of “what-if” questions related to the shape and metrics of the sales pipeline funnel and produces a Funnel Graphic image for the specific sales pipeline.

The template also allows you to define your own specific pipeline stages and to assess the impact of changes to any parameter of the Sales Pipeline, such as, changing the ratio of New Leads moving to Qualified Leads.

The Actual Sales Conversion Rate from New Leads to Orders is also calculated.

As with all other products in the portfolio the Funnel Graphic template is sold with a NO QUIBBLE MONEY BACK GUARENTEE.

A Cause and effect diagram, aka a fishbone diagram, Ishikawa diagram and herringbone diagram, has been added to the Business Tools Store. It is a tool used for problem root cause analysis that helps to identify, sort and display possible causes of a specific problem or quality characteristic. In Root Cause Analysis (RCA) it graphically illustrates the relationship between a given outcome and all the factors that influence the outcome.

The root cause analysis results are typically grouped into categories to identify the sources of variation.  Standardized categories have emerged depending on the industry sector.  This has given rise to three popular Cause and Effect Fishbone diagrams based on the root cause categories.  These are:

6 Ms used in manufacturing sector

7 Ps used in marketing environments

5 Ss used in the service industries.

Our extensive portfolio of strategic planning tools now has a SPACE Matrix Excel template added.

The Strategic Position & Action Evaluation matrix or SPACE matrix, as it is frequently described, focuses on strategy formulation particularly from the competitive position of an organization and helps companies to decide the appropriate type of strategy analysis the company should undertake.

The SPACE matrix analysis outcome can be used as a basis for deciding other appropriate analyses, such as the SWOT analysis, BCG matrix model, or assessing strategic alternatives (IE matrix).

The SPACE matrix has four quadrants. Each quadrant suggests a different type of strategy and the SPACE analysis places the organisation in one of the quadrants indicating the type of strategy the company should undertake.

The different types of strategy suggested are:

Aggressive

Conservative

Defensive

Competitive

SPACE Matrix Analysis

The SPACE Matrix analysis framework has four dimensions in order to determine the organization's strategic positioning in the industry.

These are:

Financial strength (FS)

Competitive advantage (CA)

Environmental stability (ES)

Industry strength (IS).

To complement the very popular SWOT Analysis template the Business Tools Store has added a PEST Analysis template to the extensive portfolio of other strategic planning templates.

The standard format used is the universal 4-cell matrix that incorporates the Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors/outcomes of the analysis.

The PEST Analysis template allows the results of the analysis to be presented in a standard format and incorporated into any Word compatible document, business plan or report.

PEST analysis is used to analyze the external macro-environment.

SWOT analysis is used to analyze the external micro-environment and the internal environment.
