Where value is commonly lost
The hand-offs deserve an owner.
- Technical enquiries reach sales without specification
- Samples and quotes lose their next decision date
- Recurring accounts reorder outside visible planning
Recommended Cornerman configuration
Built for the way b2b manufacturers and distributors work.
Website, funnel or store
Help engineers, buyers and operators find specifications, availability context, certification and the correct technical or commercial contact.
CRM pipeline
Separate specification, sample, trial, quote, approval and first order so long-cycle opportunities are measured by customer commitments.
Booking, quotation or payment
Connect price lists, account terms, minimum order, freight, approval and credit rules to the quotation and order path.
Onboarding and delivery
Carry promised specifications, lead times and account context into fulfilment and exception communication while the ERP remains authoritative.
Retention and referral
Use expected reorder, share-of-wallet, product adoption and account inactivity to prompt useful account conversations rather than generic campaigns.
Reporting and constraints
Measure what matters. Respect the source of truth.
Specifications, certification, inventory, pricing authority, credit and fulfilment remain controlled by engineering, ERP and finance governance.
- Technical enquiry qualification
- Sample-to-quote progression
- Quote-to-first-order rate
- Dormant account value recovered
Industry questions
Straight answers for b2b manufacturers and distributors.
01Can one account have several buying journeys?
Yes. Different sites, applications, products and decision groups can sit under one commercial account while retaining their own opportunity and reorder context.
02How do you measure a long technical sale?
Track verified application fit, sample or trial completion, commercial approval and dated next decisions rather than relying on enquiry volume.
