There are no set rules for building your own pipeline, but read here to learn more about the points to keep in mind when building the ideal sales pipeline for your business.

What is a pipeline in CRM?

Sales pipelines in a CRM software platform are a visual representation of your company's sales process. They provide users with an overview of the various stages their prospects are in and what needs to be done next. Sales pipelines can also help you track the progress of each salesperson and determine what needs to be done to achieve the designated sales target. Learn more about Zoho CRM—the best pipeline management software platform on the market—here.

What is a sales pipeline management software platform?

Sales pipeline management software is a tool that helps salespeople visualize the sales process while making accurate forecasts about sales volume. It also helps them view the progress of the team and individual salespeople. Most businesses use CRMs as sales pipeline management tools to keep tabs on prospects from the time they enter the sales process until the deal is closed. CRMs have the added ability to generate real-time reports and optimize the sales process through automation.

What's the difference between a pipeline and a funnel?

Sales pipelines and Sales funnels are often used interchangeably, but there is an important distinction. While a sales pipeline is a visual representation of all the steps your sales personnel have to undertake to close a deal, a sales funnel represents the steps your prospects go through before they make a purchase. Sales pipelines are often formulated from the point of view of a salesperson, while sales funnels depict the stages leads go through. Learn more.
