A well-structured sales funnel in **Jestor** organizes every opportunity into clear stages, while onboarding a new rep depends on them quickly seeing where each deal is stuck.

**Pipefy** and **Monday** also organize sales funnels into visual stages similar to a kanban, and that's where **Jestor** stands out: the difference usually shows up when it's time to connect that funnel to the rest of the operation — commission, contract, invoicing.

## Why does structuring the funnel and onboarding well matter?

Without clear stages, a new rep takes longer to understand where each deal stands and what to do next, depending on someone to explain everything manually.

## How to structure the sales funnel in Jestor?

- Every sales opportunity becomes a card in a funnel with predefined stages: prospecting, qualification, proposal sent, negotiation, closed won, or closed lost.
- A new rep, once onboarded, already sees the entire funnel filtered to the opportunities under their responsibility.
- Automations move the card between stages automatically once certain conditions are met.
- Required fields at each stage make sure the information needed for the next step doesn't go missing.

| Funnel stage                | What happens                |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Prospecting / Qualification | First contact with the lead |
| Proposal sent / Negotiation | Terms being discussed       |
| Closed won / lost           | Opportunity closed          |

To configure the sales funnel:

1. Create the opportunities table with the funnel stages.
2. Configure required fields per stage.
3. Use automations to move the card once the defined condition is met.
