SALES & FOLLOW-UP / 7 MIN READ

Move an opportunity through the pipeline

Track stages and amounts without treating a deal as booked revenue.

Follow the steps

01

Create the deal

Open Opportunities and add a descriptive name. Link the person or company involved.

02

Record known inputs

Choose a stage, owner, currency, amount and expected close date only where you have a real basis for them.

03

Advance deliberately

Move the opportunity when the customer process has actually changed; add a note or task explaining the next step.

04

Review the board

Use the pipeline view to see what is open, won or lost according to your configured stages.

BEFORE YOU MOVE ON

Check the result

The deal appears in the intended pipeline stage with the correct relationships.

Worth knowing

Deal value and weighted forecast are estimates, not recognized customer revenue.
