What this gets you
- One board for every client opportunity, with the stage, value, and next task on each card.
- A forecast: open value weighted by each stage’s win probability.
- Alerts for deals that have gone quiet, before they are lost.
Steps
- Open Deals in the sidebar, under Sales.
- Choose Create pipeline and pick a template: Sales pipeline, Executive search, or Account development.
- Adjust the stages, set a win probability for each, and set an inactivity alert in days. Save the pipeline.
- Choose New Deal. Describe the opportunity, choose the client account, and add the expected value, currency, win probability, and estimated close date. Add the people involved.
- Open the deal and add its stakeholders with their roles, such as Hiring manager or Economic buyer.
- Log notes and tasks on the deal’s Activity, and drag the deal to the next stage as it moves forward.
- When it closes, choose Mark won, or Mark lost with a reason.
- For a won deal, use Link existing Job or Create internal Job to start recruiting.
Ideas to get more from it
- Save the filters you check every week, such as your own deals closing this month, as a saved view.
- Associate client meetings with the deal, so AI meeting preparation knows the commercial context.
- Use the Business development reports to see your win rate and why deals are lost.
