Frequently Asked Pipedrive Questions

In Pipedrive your deals are organised into a pipeline, which lets you visualise your sales process and move deals along these stages. As this is the main interface of Pipedrive, we wrote a whole article about the Sales Pipeline to help you understand this key concept.

In essence you're responsible for naming the different stages of your pipeline in a way that makes sense for your business. A typical pipeline will follow this order:

1. New Enquiry
2. Meeting arranged
3. Needs defined
4. Build Proposal
5. Proposal sent
6. Negotiating
