Assign Opportunities via a Round Robin

Now that you have your sales reps set and your pipeline stages ready to go, you'll need to figure out how you want to distribute leads as they come in. If you have multiple sales people, the best way to manage this is with a Round-Robin lead distribution rule.



Integrate Pipeline Automation into Your Marketing Campaigns

Now it's time to automate! Learn how to automatically create and distribute opportunities in a campaign. You can also automate marketing messages based on a sales person changing the sales stage of an opportunity.



Configure your Dashboard to Manage Sales Rep Activity & Effectiveness

  • The Opportunity Pipeline Summary is a good start to get a big picture snapshot showing opportunities in each stage, projected and weighted revenue, and average number of days spent in each stage.
  • To get a more detailed report showing all opportunities per rep, the best thing to do is simply to search for opportunities belonging to a specific rep and then adding that report to your dashboard - then rinse and repeat so you have a dashboard widget for every sales person. Now, you can sign in to Keap and know exactly what leads each sales rep is working on.
