= Understanding Pipelines, Stages, Deals, and Tasks =

ActiveCampaign provides a robust framework for managing your sales process through the use of pipelines, stages, deals, and tasks. This article aims to clarify these concepts and how they interrelate within the ActiveCampaign platform.

== Pipelines ==
Pipelines are visual representations of your sales process. They allow you to track deals as they progress through various stages until they are closed. Each pipeline can be customized to fit the specific needs of your business.

== Stages ==
Stages are the individual steps within a pipeline. Each stage represents a specific point in the sales process, such as 'Lead', 'Negotiation', or 'Closed Won'. You can customize the stages in your pipeline to reflect the unique workflow of your sales team.

== Deals ==
Deals are the individual opportunities that you track through your pipelines. Each deal is associated with a specific contact and represents a potential sale. You can add details to each deal, such as the deal value, expected close date, and associated tasks.

== Tasks ==
Tasks are actionable items that help you manage your deals effectively. You can create tasks for yourself or your team members to ensure that important steps in the sales process are not overlooked. Tasks can be linked to specific deals and stages, providing context for their completion.

== Conclusion ==
Understanding how pipelines, stages, deals, and tasks work together is essential for effectively managing your sales process in ActiveCampaign. By utilizing these features, you can streamline your workflow and enhance your sales performance.
