Opportunity Tracking
For salespeople and sales management alike, opportunity tracking is of paramount importance. Opportunities are deals, and closed deals equal sales target achievement and revenueRevenue Revenue is the amount of money a business generates during a specific period such as a year or a quarter; also called sales.. Tracking deals therefore means everything.

The primary method of opportunity tracking utilized within Pipeliner CRM is through its Pipeline View. Every opportunity within a pipeline can be readily seen, in the sales stage in which it currently resides. Mousing over the opportunity gives you a quick view, and double-clicking it reveals its details.
Many companies today require multiple pipelines for different types of sales, different products, or even different customerCustomer Customer is an individual or an organization that purchases a product or signs up for a service offered by a business. types. Pipeliner allows you to create as many different pipelines as you need, each customizable to your requirements.
Within Each Stage
Moving an opportunity through a single sales stage requires various tasks and activities such as calls, appointments, emails, sending of materials, meetings or others. If required, these tasks and activities can be made mandatory so that an opportunity can only be moved to the next stage if they have been completed by the sales rep.
Activities can be graphically tracked—much as opportunities—so progress can be instantly seen.

The user can accept, edit or reject the tasks.
Opportunity Fitness
The Pipeliner CRM Fitness feature, which is totally unique to Pipeliner, immediately shows the fitness level of an opportunity and provides another great indicator as to if and when it is likely to close.

The fitness indicators are color-coded so you can immediately see the status.
