1. A computer implemented method of assisting a sales representative with prioritizing a plurality of sales opportunities, comprising the steps of:

  • for each of the sales opportunities, determining a probability from a finite number of possible probability values that the sales representative will ultimately win the sale;

    establishing a sales cycle time line for each of the sales opportunities and dividing each of the respective sales cycle time lines into a uniform number and type of selling phases;

    for each sales opportunity, assigning a time-dependent priority value based on the determined probability values for the sales opportunity and the selling phase that the sales opportunity is in at the time that the priority value is assigned; and

    providing on a visual display for the sale representative an indication of the time-dependent priority value assigned to at least one of the sales opportunities.
