CRM GUIDE

Managing Your Pipeline

Your pipeline tracks every lead from first contact to policy bound. Here's how to use it effectively.

PIPELINE STAGES

Every Stage, Explained

Your pipeline has 7 stages. Each one represents a step in your sales process, and many trigger automations when a lead moves into them.

01

New Lead

A prospect just entered your system via form submission, phone call, referral, or manual entry. The Speed-to-Lead automation engages them immediately.

02

Contacted

You've made first contact. The lead is aware of your agency and has been engaged.

03

Quote Requested

The prospect has asked for a quote. This triggers internal alerts so your team knows to prioritize this lead.

04

Quote Sent

You've sent a quote. The Pipeline Stage Alert, Quote Sent automation fires, triggering a follow-up sequence to keep the prospect engaged.

05

Negotiation

The prospect is comparing options or discussing terms. Active follow-up is critical at this stage.

06

Closed Won

Policy bound! The Pipeline Stage Alert, Closed Won automation fires, triggering review requests and onboarding workflows.

07

Closed Lost

The lead didn't convert. Tag the reason (price, coverage, competitor, no response) for quarterly analysis.

HOW TO MOVE LEADS

Moving Leads Through Your Pipeline

Moving a lead isn't just organizational. It activates workflows that keep your sales process running.

Drag and Drop

In the board view, simply drag a lead card from one stage column to the next. The system automatically triggers any automations tied to that stage.

Stage Changes Trigger Automations

Moving a lead isn't just organizational. It activates workflows. Quote Sent triggers follow-ups. Closed Won triggers review requests. Every move does something.

STALE LEADS

Don't Let Leads Go Cold

Leads that sit untouched go stale. The Deal Pulse automation monitors for this and flags leads that need attention. Check your Stale Leads dashboard widget daily and take action. A quick call or text can revive a cold lead.
