How to Build a Simple WhatsApp Sales Pipeline

A sales pipeline is simply a shared view of every deal and the stage it has reached. Set up well, it shows exactly where to focus each day.

Step 1: Define your stages

Keep it short. A typical pipeline:

• New enquiry
• Qualified (real need and budget)
• Quote or proposal sent
• Negotiation
• Won
• Lost

Each stage should have a clear meaning everyone agrees on.

Step 2: Give every deal an owner

One person is responsible for moving each deal forward. Shared ownership usually means no ownership.

Step 3: Record the next step

Every open deal should have a next action and a date. A deal without a next step is a deal at risk.

Step 4: Capture why deals are lost

Price, timing, competitor, no response — recording the reason shows what to improve.

Step 5: Review weekly

• Which deals moved forward?
• Which are stuck in the same stage?
• Which follow-ups were missed?
• What is the expected value of deals close to winning?

Keep it simple

Too many stages or fields means nobody updates the pipeline. Start small and add detail only when you need it.
