Step 1 — Workspace Basics

  1. Go to Settings → Workspace.
  2. Enter your company name, upload a logo, and set your timezone.
  3. Optionally customise terminology (e.g. rename "Deal" to "Opportunity") under Settings → Terminology.

Step 2 — Invite Your Team

  1. Go to Settings → Users.
  2. Click Invite User and enter the email address.
  3. Assign a role: Admin, Manager, or Member.
  4. Optionally add users to Teams for shared pipeline visibility.

Roles at a glance

  • Manager — can view all deals and reports; cannot change billing.
  • Member — can only see their own assigned deals and contacts.

Step 3 — Set Up Your Pipeline

  1. Go to Settings → Pipeline Stages (or open the Pipeline board and click Manage Stages).
  2. Add stages that match your sales process (e.g. Prospecting → Proposal Sent → Negotiation → Closed Won).
  3. Set a probability % for each stage — used in forecast calculations.
  4. Optionally add Custom Fields under Settings → Custom Fields for deal-specific data.
