What is a Business Opportunity?

 

A Business Opportunity is a type of CRM record that represents a potential revenue generating arrangement between TAFE and an external organisation. This can be a potential contract (e.g. Training Services Agreement), or a commercial sale of an existing TAFE offering.

 

Important Note: Some contracts may also need to be linked to a Partnership Opportunity CRM record (e.g. Third-Party Agreements). See: Business Proposal

 

The Business Opportunity form is made up of a Header, Business Process Flow, messages, Body, and Footer, as shown below.

What is Business Opportunity

 

The Business Opportunity record is broken down into multiple sections within the Body of the form. These sections are aligned with the stages that make up the EduRe sales business process flow.

 

The business process flow provides a focus on the information required for each stage of the EduRe Business Opportunity sales process.

 

The stages are Qualify, Prepare Proposal, Cost Proposal and Internal/External Approval. These stages are meant to guide you through creating a business opportunity, preparing the business proposal, and submitting the proposal for internal approval and acceptance by the client.

 

Only the sections within the body of the Business Opportunity, corresponding with the current and/or completed stages, are visible to the user; all other sections are hidden.

 

Users can read all Business Opportunities regardless of the “owning” Business Unit, however, you may only update and assign Business Opportunities that belong to your Business Unit.

 

Qualifying a Business Opportunity means that there is alignment between the client and TAFE Queensland on the cost to the client, the service can be delivered in an agreed timeframe and the expected outcome(s) of the client can be met.

Business scenario

 

Business Development Managers (BDM) can progress through a sales process following a pre-defined sequence of stages, presented as steps within the EduRe Business Opportunity module.

 

Mark has converted an Enquiry into a Business Opportunity because Andrew Ross from Roma Hospital has shown interest in the product/service that is available from TAFE Queensland. However, Mark now needs to determine if there is a match on price (budget), timing of delivery and expected outcomes.

 

The first step in the EduRe Business Opportunity Module is to ‘Qualify’ the opportunity.

 

Mark has spoken with Andrew and there is an alignment on price, outcomes and delivery times but Andrew is also speaking with a private education provider and a University.  Mark speaks with internal stakeholders at TQSW and prepares the details of the proposal and associated costs. Mark receives Internal Approval for the Proposal Content and Associated Pricing and moves the Business Opportunity through the stages.

 

Mark negotiates the proposal with Andrew and gets agreement on the details.

 

Having won the Business Opportunity, Mark uploads all relevant documentation, completes the details on the Business Opportunity form in EduRe, and converts the Business Opportunity into a Project Delivery (Contract Management).

Business standards

 

1. Qualify means that there is alignment between the client and TAFE Queensland on the cost to the client, the service can be delivered in an agreed timeframe and the expected outcome(s) of the client can be met. If these elements cannot be met, then the Business Opportunity should be closed as lost with a relevant description provided. It is important not to spend time on Business Opportunities that cannot be won.

2. All conversations are recorded as notes and all activities such as meetings, phone calls, emails, proposals, other documents, etc.… are recorded against the business opportunity as it moves through the stages.

3. An Opportunity is won when the SIGNED contract is received. Verbal acceptance does NOT mean the Opportunity is won. For Opportunities that are not formal contracts, the Opportunity is won when the sale has been made.

4. If at any time during the sales process the opportunity is lost then the opportunity is closed as lost with a relevant description and reason code.

1. Select EduRe in the navigation bar

2. Click on Business Opportunities in the menu options

Qualify stage

 

The Qualify stage is used to capture, and maintain, information regarding the BDM, subject, related records including the client, estimated value, and any competitor details.

Details

 

The Details section is used to capture business opportunity’s identity, the Business Development Officer (mandatory), the Referred by reference (e.g. If the opportunity was referred to you by a colleague or a staff member from another region), Subject (mandatory), Estimated Sign Date and Estimated Value, plus the Probability % for winning the business.

 

Note: Although there is nothing mentioned in the business standards regarding Subject naming conventions for Business Opportunities, we recommend that the subject name should enable anyone to understand what this business opportunity is for, without needing to open the record.

Qualify

Prepare Proposal stage

 

The Prepare Proposal stage is used to capture and maintain information regarding whether the customer has multiple Business Opportunities, start and end dates, associated TAFE personnel, contents of the business proposal, and who (TAFE or Client) is providing what.

Details

This Details section is used to capture the proposed start and end date of the business deal, and whether this Business Opportunity is the “parent” or a “child” opportunity.

 

If Has Multiple Opportunities field is set to Yes, then this identifies the record as a parent of other Business Opportunities.

 

This may be applicable where a client is requesting multiple scenario proposals, for customized training for 10, 20 or 25 participants. Each participant value, possible proposal content variations, and set of costs, would require a unique “child” Business Opportunity to be created.

 

Multiple “child” Business Opportunities may be easily created using the Clone a Business Opportunity function, then using the Edit a Business Opportunity function to vary the proposal values, content and costs.

 

If Has Multiple Opportunities field is set to No, and the Parent Opportunity is blank; then this identifies the record as a single unique Business Opportunity, without any “parent” or “child” Business Opportunities.

 

If Has Multiple Opportunities field is set to No, and the Parent Opportunity field contains data; then this identifies the record as a “child” Business Opportunity. “Child” Business Opportunities may only be closed as lost or won via the “Parent” Business Opportunity.

 

The Start Date and End Date fields are required to calculate the set of “proposed invoice dates” in accordance with the proposed contract or course start and end dates.

Prepare Proposal

Lead Personnel

The Lead Personnel section is used to identify the TAFE Queensland region, teams and business managers associated with the Business Opportunity.

 

The Lead Region field is tightly linked to the Business Unit of the Business Development Officer/Owner of the Business Opportunity.

 

The Lead Team and Lead Faculty fields is used to indicate the Lead Faculty and/or Team associated with the Business Opportunity.

 

The Lead Business Line Director (BLD) field is used to assign a first level approver for the Opportunity (e.g. Faculty Director or Business Development Manager).

 

Important Note: Entering a user’s name in this field will require their approval through the CRM before the Opportunity can be won. You may leave this field and the 2nd approving user field blank if your region’s established approval process is external to the CRM.

 

The 2nd Approving User field is used to assign an additional approver after approval has been given from the first approver (e.g. contract team or Director of Business Unit).
