Sales CRM · Forecast & insights

Know by the 15th if you’ll hit the goal.

See won, commit and best case against each person’s goal, then trace it back: how many conversations became deals, where deals wait, which ads pay for themselves and why deals are lost.

Forecast against goal

Every person, every team, against the number.

Managers set the goals. Each open deal counts as commit or best case. When a manager doesn’t believe a number, they adjust it and say why.

Where the numbers come from

A forecast fed by what customers actually say.

When a customer names a date in the chat, the copilot suggests it. Once someone applies it, the deal lands in the right month, and winning it moves the number from commit to won.

  2. 2CategoriesEvery open deal counts as commit or best case. Won is already closed.
  3. 3AdjustmentsA manager can change someone’s commit, with a reason. The original stays visible.
  4. 4TeamsSales teams with members and managers. Choose what agents and managers can see.

FAQ

Forecast questions.

What sales managers ask before they trust a forecast that isn’t in a spreadsheet.

ACTStill have a question?

Ask ACT, running on this site, or bring last month’s numbers to a 20-minute Workflow Review.

Each open deal sits in a forecast category. Commit is what the owner expects to close in the period; best case is what could close if things go well. Won is already closed. Progress compares won plus commit with the goal.

Yes. A manager can adjust a person’s commit and must say why. The original number stays visible, struck through, so everyone can see what changed.

Managers set a goal per person for the period. The forecast then shows each person, each team and the total against it, with the gap or “On track”.

Revenue by source shows leads, won deals, revenue and return on ad spend for each source, including Click-to-WhatsApp ads, so you can see beyond cost per message.

From the reason picked when a deal is marked lost. Insights adds them up so you can see the main reasons deals are lost in the period.
