Hey Alex, nice video overview of opportunity workflow. We are using multiple pipelines to track opportunities for certain service offerings. For example in my company we can sell printing and fulfillment services and we want to track these opportunities separately and maintain visibility across pipelines for any given sales person. Any ideas?
Hey Doug! Glad it could help in some way! We typically do not recommend multiple sales pipelines and instead leveraging filters (with a required "service" dropdown field), this is unless the sales process between the two offerings are majorly different (along with the datapoints you're selecting). It's tough to make specific recommendations without actually seeing the existing process, but we regularly get our customers to combine any sales pipelines, and to instead get creative with filters instead. This will make managing the sales team and reporting way easier, and if you do build any automations in the future, you only need to build it once (also cheaper to maintain). We believe in simplifying whenever possible, and pipeline filters are way more powerful than most realize.
If you have any questions about how you're currently using your opportunity pipeline, let me know! Happy to help 🙌
