Opportunity Management


An Opportunity in economic terms refers to a potential business deal that can generate commercial profits. In ShareCRM, the Opportunity module not only helps enterprises manage key sales funnel (Sales Pipelines) metrics like sales teams, products, forecasted amounts, expected closing dates, and win probabilities, but also supports the entire Opportunity lifecycle—from lead conversion and Opportunity creation to follow-up, closure, and Sales Order generation—covering pre-sales, sales, and post-sales processes.

Opportunity Creation and Identification

Prevent duplicate Opportunities and improve sales resource efficiency by setting up deduplication rules in the Opportunity backend object management before creating new Opportunities.

2. Validation:
- Stages with existing Opportunity data cannot be deleted.
- Active stages must precede closed stages.

Pipeline Setup:

- Approvals: Trigger workflows upon stage completion.
- Skipping: Configure if stages can be bypassed.
- Entry/Completion Conditions: Define prerequisites (e.g., decision-maker details).

  • Closed Stages:

    • Bypass Rules: Skip validation for Deal Lost/Invalid stages.

    • Actions: Require reasons for lost/invalid statuses.

Task Configuration:
- Edit Objects: Update Opportunity-related fields.
- Create Associated Objects: Generate linked records (e.g., Quotations).
- Batch Edit Sub-objects: Modify Sub-objects (e.g., line items).
