How to Create and Manage Pipelines

Pipelines in ClickFunnels are a visual tool that helps you track and manage opportunities from start to finish. They break down the workflow into different stages, making it easy to see where each opportunity stands at a glance. This is incredibly helpful for keeping your business organized, ensuring tasks are completed on time, and identifying any bottlenecks that need attention. For example, if you’re managing sales leads, a pipeline can help you track each lead from initial contact to closing the deal. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up and manage your pipelines to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.
