In an increasingly competitive setting, now more than ever, having a holistic view of your sales pipeline and being in control of every sales opportunity is vitally important to the success of your small business. If you’re letting things fall through the cracks, forgetting to follow up or skipping an essential step in your sales process, you’re leaving money on the table. You need a tool that will help ensure you’re making the most of every sales opportunity that comes your way.
Introducing the Daylite Opportunities Board, a new enhancement in Opportunities that will increase teamwork and let your sales soar.
Introducing Daylite Opportunities Board
The Opportunities Board lets you visually track how many open Opportunities are in your sales pipeline and see where each Opportunity is in the process, allowing you to nurture the most important or valuable ones.
In the Daylite sidebar under the Objectives section, you’ll find a new item called Opportunities Board. This board is directly connected to your Pipelines and shows the stages of the selected pipelines as columns, with cards for each opportunity.
Now, you can drag and drop your opportunities to move them from one stage to another. You can also easily classify them as “won” or “lost” by dragging them to the respective states at the bottom, which allows you and your team to stay focused on the active deals in the pipeline.
The at-a-glance view lets you see all your opportunities at once, so you can identify any areas of concern, such as deals that are stuck at a particular stage, so you and your team can focus on moving them along.
Visually Track and Prioritize Your Deals
Get an overview of the actual and expected values within every stage of your pipeline based on forecasted dates, create dates, categories, owners or types. At the top of the Board, you will see the total count and total value of all the opportunities in the selected pipeline, so you can get a sense of whether you’re on track or behind your sales target. You can then sort in various ways, including by next activity, forecasted close date, probability, days in stage, and more, to get different perspectives that allow you to spotlight the most valuable or urgent deals first.

Boost Team Collaboration and Celebrate Team Success
Daylite Opportunities Board gives you a clear view to oversee your team’s effort and impact on your business. You can visually track how many deals each team member is working on and the status of each. Filter down by owner and sort by next activity, total value and more, to have a concrete view of the pipeline and identify where you should focus your team’s time and energy to drive higher returns. If you see that a team member’s opportunities are not progressing as expected, you can offer them the support they need and work together to move the opportunities forward.
As the Opportunities Board is accessible to your entire team, everyone can work with more transparency, owning the responsibility of hitting their targets and celebrating won deals. This creates an environment that fosters team collaboration and saves time on status update meetings, so your team can focus on winning deals.
