Pipeline Analysis

Analyze your CRM pipeline to track lead progress, measure performance, and gain insights into sales effectiveness using reports and filters.

The CRM application helps track how leads and opportunities move through different stages — from initial contact to a successful deal (Won) or closure without conversion (Lost).

Once your pipeline is structured, the Pipeline Analysis page provides powerful tools to evaluate performance, monitor trends, and understand how effectively your team is managing opportunities.

To open this view, go to:
CRM app ‣ Reporting ‣ Pipeline

Open the CRM app and click on the Reporting tab along the top, then click Pipeline.
