Hover over the navigation bar to the left of the dashboard and select ‘Deals’.

This guide walks you through creating a deal using the Deals application, enhancing the efficiency of your sales process.

Start by clicking on the '+ New Deal' button located at the top right of the page. Remember, the new deal will be associated with the active sales pipeline. If required, select the suitable sales pipeline by clicking the adjacent button.

A 'Create Deals' menu will emerge on the right side of the screen.

Key fields required for a deal include 'Deal Name', 'Stage', 'Status', and 'Currency'. The 'Deal Name' can be descriptive of the lead, the business, or any other significant details. The 'Stage' reflects the deal's position in your sales pipeline, usually at the start, but it can vary. The 'Status' can be 'Open' for new deals, 'Won' for closed deals, and 'Lost' for deals not achieved.

Additionally, you need to enter the 'Deal Value', which is the anticipated worth of the deal. You can then select the 'Currency' type for the deal.

Next, choose an 'Expected Close Date' for the deal by clicking on the respective field. The date defaults to the current day.

Default contract type is 'One-Time', signifying a single transaction. However, for recurring transactions, you can select a 'monthly' or 'annual' contract type and specify the length in the following field.

After filling in all necessary details, review your deal. Once satisfied, click 'Create' at the bottom of the menu to finalize the deal. If needed, you can immediately begin creating another deal by selecting 'Create and Add Another'.

Upon completion, navigate back to the 'My Deals' tab. Your new deal should appear in the designated stage of your pipeline.

At any time, you can move the deal card to any stage in your pipeline by clicking and dragging the card. You can also mark deals as 'won' or 'lost', or delete a deal by moving the card to the respective field.
