Opportunities
Use Opportunties to manage and drive your revenue pipeline.
Creating Opportunities
Opportunities (known as Deals in other systems) are created against Organizations. To create a task you must first have the Organization in CustomerOS that you want the Opportunity to exist against.
Managing Pipeline stages
Opportunties have a mandatory stage field that indicates the stage the deal is in. CustomerOS supports custom pipeline stages, the only mandatory stages are Identified, Closed Won and Closed Lost.
Default Stages are:
Identified
Meeting Booked
Committed
Closed Won
Closed Lost
We recommend keeping these pipelines as simple as possible to simplify data clarity and help enforce high velocity sales funnels.
Weighted Pipeline
CustomerOS calculates weighted pipeline by multiplying the value of each opportunity by the stage Closed Won % (this is calculated manually to be the percentage of opportunities in this stage that reach Closed Won).
CustomerOS does not support deal-by-deal opportunity weighting, this can easily be calculated outside of CustomerOS by downloading all opportunities via .csv and calculating in Excel or Google Sheets.
Linking Tasks to Opportunities
Opportunities should always have an associated task. If no task is linked CustomerOS will notify the user (angrily) every time a taskless opportunity is shown.
