Understanding your sales pipeline
Your sales data, front-and-center, and always up-to-date.
Getting an accurate view of your sales pipeline shouldn’t require a double major in applied mathematics and software engineering. That’s why RecordbookHQ purposely designed its sales pipeline to automatically update based on the opportunities listed below it. Just filter your opportunities however you like and boom. Your pipeline, up-to-date and in your face. Let’s take a look at the different components of a sales pipeline.

Qualified. Opportunities that have been thoroughly evaluated and meet the criteria for further pursuit in the sales process.
