Tracking leads in Pipeline

Every lead, the stage it is at, and the next step you owe it.

Getting leads in

  • Add them by hand as you meet people
  • Let them arrive automatically from a published funnel
  • Import a list you already keep elsewhere

The stages

A lead moves through seven stages. Three of them end the story.

StageMeaning
NewThey exist. Nobody has reached out yet.
ContactedYou reached out. No reply yet.
ConversationA real exchange is happening.
ProposalThey have seen the offer and the price.
WonThey bought.
LostThey said no, or went silent for good.
ChurnedThey bought once and have since left.

Won, Lost and Churned are terminal - they stop counting as open pipeline, which is what keeps your numbers honest.

The next step is the point

A lead without a next step is a lead you have dropped. Pipeline surfaces the clearest next step for each one and feeds the daily list on your Cockpit.

This is the whole reason to keep it current. A pipeline nobody updates is a list of names; a pipeline with next steps is a plan for the week.

Follow-ups

Narrative drafts follow-up messages from your offer and the history of the conversation, so a quiet deal does not stay quiet because writing the message felt hard. You edit before anything sends.

Narrative is a tool for building and running a business — not a guarantee of income, sales, or results. What you earn depends on your own effort, market, and many factors outside our control. Testimonials and figures reflect individual experiences and are not typical or promised.
