Build a sales pipeline you can trust
Now that your team are using Gold-Vision for managing their pipeline and opportunities you can use some of the tips below to help you focus your forecast on those Opportunities that are likely to close.
Use a simple concept - we call it the "Gold-Vision Bloodboard", to help you highlight those opportunities which will close by your Estimated Closed Date.
Simply, highlight those opportunities that are high probability to close and lock in the estimated closed date as a "Bloodboard date". This then allows you to manage your Bloodboarded Opportunities in your Sales meeting - it's a practice that will allow you and your sales team to trust your forecast and maintain it.
We have created an alert which sets the 'Bloodboard Date' when the Probability is set to 90%. This date has also been made 'read-only' so the date can not be amended.
Filter your list of Opportunities to show those over 90% probability and by 'Bloodboard' date, then simply pin the list to a Dashboard so you can focus on these Opportunities in your sales meeting.

This can then be used to create a favorite list so the sales team can focus on these priority opportunities:
