One of the most powerful features of LeadSpheres CRM is its pipeline-based workflow. It lets you visually track deals from start to finish.

4.1. What is a Pipeline? #

A pipeline represents the sales journey your leads follow — from the first contact to closing the deal.

For example, a simple pipeline could be:
New Lead → Contacted → Proposal Sent → Negotiation → Won / Lost

You can create multiple pipelines for different business models or services.

Each stage represents a step in your sales process.

  • Customize stage names to match your workflow.
  • Assign probabilities to predict deal success.
  • Drag and drop deals between stages to keep your pipeline updated.

4.3. Using Workflows #

Workflows allow you to automate actions within your pipelines:

  • Assign leads automatically when they enter a stage.
  • Send emails or WhatsApp messages when deals move forward.
  • Trigger follow-up tasks based on inactivity.

⚡ Example: When a new lead enters your pipeline, you can set up a workflow that:

  • Assigns the lead to a salesperson
  • Sends a welcome email
  • Adds a follow-up task automatically

4.4. Tracking Pipeline Performance #

LeadSpheres provides built-in pipeline reports so you can:

  • Monitor deal movement
  • Measure conversion rates per stage
  • Identify bottlenecks in your sales process
