[FEATURE] Implement Lead And Opportunity Pipelines For Web
Introduction
In today's fast-paced sales environment, managing leads and opportunities effectively is crucial for businesses to stay ahead of the competition. A well-structured sales pipeline helps sales teams track progress, forecast sales, and make informed decisions. In this feature, we will implement web frontend visualizations and interfaces for lead and opportunity pipelines, providing sales managers with a comprehensive tool to manage their sales pipeline.
Problem Statement
As a sales manager, tracking progress and forecasting sales can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with a large number of leads and opportunities. Current sales pipeline management tools often lack intuitive interfaces, making it difficult for sales teams to visualize and manage their pipeline effectively. This can lead to missed sales opportunities, decreased revenue, and a lack of confidence in sales forecasting.
Solution Overview
To address this problem, we propose implementing lead and opportunity pipelines for web using Svelte and the shared UI component library. Our solution will provide a user-friendly interface for sales managers to visualize and manage their sales pipeline, track progress, and forecast sales. We will also implement drag-and-drop functionality for intuitive pipeline management, connect to the lead and opportunity management APIs for data, and ensure a consistent design system, responsive design, and accessibility.
Key Features
Lead Pipeline Visualization
Our lead pipeline visualization will provide a clear and concise view of the sales pipeline, allowing sales managers to track progress and identify areas for improvement. The visualization will include:
- Pipeline stages: A clear representation of the different stages of the sales pipeline, including lead generation, qualification, proposal, and closure.
- Lead count: A count of the number of leads at each stage of the pipeline.
- Lead distribution: A visual representation of the distribution of leads across different stages of the pipeline.
Opportunity Pipeline Visualization
Our opportunity pipeline visualization will provide a detailed view of the sales pipeline, allowing sales managers to track progress and identify areas for improvement. The visualization will include:
- Pipeline stages: A clear representation of the different stages of the sales pipeline, including opportunity identification, qualification, proposal, and closure.
- Opportunity count: A count of the number of opportunities at each stage of the pipeline.
- Opportunity distribution: A visual representation of the distribution of opportunities across different stages of the pipeline.
Drag-and-Drop Functionality
Our drag-and-drop functionality will allow sales managers to easily move leads and opportunities between pipeline stages, making it simple to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
Pipeline Filtering and Sorting
Our pipeline filtering and sorting functionality will allow sales managers to quickly and easily filter and sort leads and opportunities by different criteria, such as lead source, lead status, and opportunity value.
Pipeline Metrics and Summaries
Our pipeline metrics and summaries will provide sales managers with a clear and concise view of the sales pipeline, including key metrics such as lead conversion rates, opportunity win rates, and sales revenue.
Lead/Opportunity Detail View
Our lead/opportunity detail view will provide sales managers with a detailed view of each lead and opportunity, including key information such as lead contact information, opportunity value, and sales stage.
Actions
Our quick actions will allow sales managers to quickly and easily perform common tasks, such as assigning leads to sales representatives, updating lead status, and creating new opportunities.
Pipeline Stage Configuration
Our pipeline stage configuration will allow sales managers to customize the sales pipeline to meet their specific needs, including adding or removing pipeline stages, updating pipeline stage names, and configuring pipeline stage settings.
Sales Forecasting
Our sales forecasting will provide sales managers with a clear and concise view of future sales revenue, allowing them to make informed decisions about sales strategy and resource allocation.
Technical Requirements
To implement this feature, we will require the following technical requirements:
- Svelte: A modern JavaScript framework for building web applications.
- Shared UI component library: A library of reusable UI components for building web applications.
- Lead and opportunity management APIs: APIs for managing leads and opportunities.
- Database: A database for storing lead and opportunity data.
- Frontend framework: A frontend framework for building web applications.
Implementation Plan
To implement this feature, we will follow the following implementation plan:
- Design: Design the user interface and user experience for the lead and opportunity pipelines.
- Develop: Develop the lead and opportunity pipelines using Svelte and the shared UI component library.
- Implement: Implement the drag-and-drop functionality, pipeline filtering and sorting, pipeline metrics and summaries, lead/opportunity detail view, quick actions, pipeline stage configuration, and sales forecasting.
- Test: Test the lead and opportunity pipelines to ensure they meet the required functionality and performance standards.
- Deploy: Deploy the lead and opportunity pipelines to production.
