The pipeline is made up of 4 pipeline stages.
Leads are advanced through the pipeline using our 'Intelligent Lead Progressor'. To access the lead progressor, simply click on the client's name. Once you are on the lead edit screen, you can view the 'Progress Sale' box, which will highlight the fields that need to be completed before the lead can move onto the next stage.
In this screenshot, you can see that the fields "Potential Premium" and "Potential Income" need to be filled in before we can move the lead into the Fact Finding stage.
The required fields will change at each stage, dependant on which pipeline stage the lead is in.
Pipeline Stages
The below explains each pipeline stage and outlines the requirements for each lead to progress to the next stage.
