Odoo CRM : Odoo CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management Module within the Odoo System. It allows you to see all your leads/opportunities in one location, manage them from one stage to another, and analyze your results.
In this blog we will discuss how Odoo CRM Module Systematizes the Pipeline : Odoo CRM helps us to organize our sales activities: track leads, close opportunities and get accurate forecasts. Keep opportunities organized with the pipeline and manage your day-to-day activities with meetings and next activities.
- Get Systematized by Planning Activities : Whenever you plan an activity that means you minimize the risk of uncertainties, as you provide clear directions for the course of your next action.
Where can I see my schedule activity ?
Access and manage your activities wherever you are in Odoo by the Activities menu.
Plan Activities : Activities can be planned and managed from the chatter by clicking on Schedule activity, or through Kanban views.
By default Odoo provides a number of activity types (email, meeting, call etc.) However, you can set new ones going to Settings ‣ Activity types.
Recommend next activity : Odoo helps you to plan a flow of activities by allowing you to set Recommended Next Activities.
When the relative activity is completed, select Done & Schedule Next and next steps are suggested to you.
- Administrate lost Opportunities : When you are working with your opportunities, it can be possible that you can lose some of them. You will want to keep track of the reasons you lost them and also which ways Odoo can help you recover them in the future.
Mark a lead as lost and Manage and create lost reason : While in your pipeline, select any opportunity you want and you will see a Mark Lostbutton.
