Understanding Opportunity Statuses:
Open:
Opportunities with the "Open" status are actively being pursued and are still in progress.
- These opportunities represent potential deals that have not yet been won, lost, or abandoned and are still viable for conversion.
Won:
- The "Won" status indicates that the opportunity has been successfully converted into a sale or deal.
- This status is applied when the lead has made a purchase or signed a contract, resulting in revenue generation for the business.
Lost:
- Opportunities with the "Lost" status represent deals that have been unsuccessfully concluded.
- This status is applied when the lead decides not to move forward with the purchase or chooses a competitor's offering.
Abandoned:
- The "Abandoned" status indicates that the opportunity has been neglected or disregarded, either by the lead or by the sales team.
- This status is applied when there is no further action or follow-up planned for the opportunity, and it is effectively removed from active consideration.
Data Management
- Robust data management within opportunities tracks opportunity source, contact details, opportunity value, and notes.
- Users can also streamline communication and task assignment under Opportunity - linked contacts, enhancing workflow efficiency and timely engagement.
