Leads and sales

Sales pipeline

Move opportunities across configurable stages with value and customer context in view.

How it works

Move real opportunities through clear stages

Track deal value, owner, expected dates and customer context as opportunities progress. Configure stages for your process and use more than one pipeline when teams sell in different ways.

01

When to use it

Useful situations

  • Review opportunity stages and ownership during a sales meeting.
  • Spot deals with missing next steps or expected close dates.
  • Separate teams’ workflows when they use different sales pipelines.

A working path

How the work moves

  1. Choose the right pipeline

    Open the pipeline used by your team and scan deals by stage. Compare the owner, value and expected dates in context rather than treating stage position alone as a forecast.

  2. Open the opportunity

    Select a deal to review its customer links, notes and activity. Confirm the current facts with the owner before editing value, stage or timing.

  3. Move the work forward

    Update the deal to reflect a real change in the sales process and create a dated follow-up where one is agreed. Keep stage definitions meaningful so pipeline reviews stay consistent.

Illustrative scenario

Weekly opportunity review

A manager filters to a regional pipeline, opens a late-stage deal with no recent activity, confirms the next customer meeting with its owner and records the agreed close-date update.

Before you start

What to check

  • Pipeline stages and multiple-pipeline configuration can depend on workspace customization, plan and permissions.
  • A stage or amount is a team-maintained record, not a guarantee that a deal will close or revenue will be received.

Questions about Sales pipeline

Useful details before you start.

All questions
Can different teams have different stages?

Multiple pipelines and configurable stages are supported where the workspace plan and permissions allow customization.

Does moving a deal update a forecast automatically?

Forecast views use deal values and forecasting fields, but teams should review the assumptions and categories behind the result.
