Getting started

Setting up your first sales pipeline

6 min read · article 4 of 8

The pipeline is the heart of Flowdeal: the visual process your deals move through, from first contact to close. A well-set-up pipeline shows you exactly where every deal stands at a glance.

Building your stages

Start from your own sales process. A typical pipeline looks like this:

  • New lead, an incoming, not-yet-qualified prospect.
  • Contacted, you've reached out.
  • Negotiation, proposal or discussion in progress.
  • Won / Lost, closed deals.
Tip

Start with 4–6 stages. Too many stages make it harder to see the big picture, and you can always refine them later.

Adding a deal

  1. In the pipeline view, click the "+ Deal" button in the right stage.
  2. Enter the deal name, value and the linked contact.
  3. Drag the deal between stages as it moves through your process.
