The Opportunities Overview helps you understand how your leads are progressing through your sales pipeline; from initial contact to closed deal.
It’s one of the most important sections for identifying:
- Pipeline performance
- Conversion gaps
- Revenue opportunities
For a full walkthrough, watch the video below:
Start With the Right Filters
At the top of this report, you’ll see several filters.
What matters most:
- Date Range → Set this to the timeframe you want to analyze
- Most commonly: previous month, quarter, or year
- Pipeline → Make sure this is set to your Sales Pipeline
If you use multiple pipelines (e.g., recruiting or internal workflows), selecting the wrong one will skew your data.
👉 Other filters (location, stage, status) can typically be left as-is unless you’re analyzing something specific.
Key Metrics to Watch

1. Opportunities

👉 This is your top-of-funnel lead volume.
2. Booked

👉 This depends on:
