Managing Deal Pipelines in DitLead

What is a Deal Pipeline?
A Deal Pipeline represents the stages a lead goes through, from initial contact to closing a deal. Each stage helps you track progress, identify bottlenecks, and optimize your sales efforts.
Example Stages in a Deal Pipeline:
New Lead
Contacted
Qualified
Proposal Sent
Negotiation
Closed – Won
Closed – Lost
