A Framework
Pipeliner is, in fact, a rapidly adaptable framework for your sales operationsSales Operations Sales Operations is a collection of aligned business processes, strategic implementations and other activities aimed at achieving organizational goals, specially in the areas of sales revenue, market coverage and growth.. Some major elements of this framework:
- Instantly tailor Pipeliner’s Sales Stages to exactly match your sales process.
- If you have more than one process—for example for pre-sales and existing customers in addition to your regular sales process—Pipeliner allows multiple customizable Pipelines.
- We have not tried to second-guess the various activity types—calls, meetings, webinars, etc.—that your sales force needs to engage in. Within Pipeliner you name them and order them.
- We also don’t know what types of accounts you deal with, and allow you to name those as well so they can be properly organized and followed.
- We have no way of knowing the reasons why a deal might be lost within your company—so we leave it to you to name your own “lost reasons.”
- Every contact you have will have a different role in the buying process for your prospect or customerCustomer Customer is an individual or an organization that purchases a product or signs up for a service offered by a business.. We leave the naming of the “Sales Roles” (buyer, influencer, budget-holder, etc.) to you.

Auto-Calculated Fields

Auto-Calculated Fields are available for Leads, Opportunities, Contacts, and Accounts.
An Auto-Calculated Field can be as simple as creating a mathematical function between two fields. For example:
- A “commissionCommission Commission is the amount of money a sales professional earns for reaching a specific sales volume or for executing one or more business transactions.” Field could consist of opportunity value multiplied by commission percentage.
- A “profitabilityProfitability Profitability is the potential, degree, metric, ability or relative efficiency of a business to yield financial gain (i.e., profits) after all relevant expenses and costs have been deducted.” Field could be created by subtracting “opportunity cost” from “opportunity value.”
