Purpose in Business Operations

The Sales Funnel page provides a clear, visual overview of how potential customers move through your sales process — from initial interest to confirmed sales. It helps sales managers and business leaders understand how well leads are progressing, where opportunities are getting stuck, and how effectively the sales team is converting prospects into customers.

This page supports better decision-making by showing the health and performance of your sales pipeline at a glance.
