Sales Pipeline Stages

* Page referenced in this article: sales pipeline stages page.

In this page you can configure your pipeline stages. Each stage has the following attributes that can be configured:

  • Order: the stage order in the workflow, you can drag and drop stage using the handle under the column order.
  • Open or closed stage. This is used in a lot of reporting. If you close a lead, the closed_at date will be set to today, but you can change that from the Leads Overview page.
  • State: the stage state can be won, lost, or other. This is also used in reports and determining important measurements like ROI, CAC, etc.
  • Stage name, color, and icon

Tip: there are two more stages that appear on top of the sales pipeline, OPEN LEADS and NEW LEADS. Both are system stages that can't be changed. OPEN is a grouping of all open stages and NEW is all leads that don't have a stage yet.

Tip: You can't delete a stage that has leads assigned to it. Even if the lead is deleted or marked spam.

We recommend the following stages based on best practices of implementing sales pipeline with financial advisors. But you can come up with your own:

Order Stage Name Stage Description Open or Closed Stage Won or Lost
1 New This is for all the new leads that don’t have a defined stage yet. This is a system stage that can't be modified Open Other
2 Attempting New leads that are actively being engaged Open Other
