That is the reason it is also called Sales Funnel so you will have more deals in the initial stages and becoming less and less when you come to the last stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-gray-200-background-color has-background cnvs-block-core-media-text-1727773444942\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bhea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/streamlining-lead-capture-process-bhea.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7061 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bhea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/streamlining-lead-capture-process-bhea.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bhea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/streamlining-lead-capture-process-bhea-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bhea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/streamlining-lead-capture-process-bhea-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/www.bhea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/streamlining-lead-capture-process-bhea-550x367.png 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The default Sales Stages for SugarCRM Opportunity module are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get more information about the meaning of each stage here: &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/support.sugarcrm.com\/Knowledge_Base\/End_Users\/Opportunities\/Default_Opportunity_Sales_Stages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/support.sugarcrm.com\/Knowledge_Base\/End_Users\/Opportunities\/Default_Opportunity_Sales_Stages\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the company, there may be an existing Opportunity Stages or Deal Stages that can be quickly brought into SugarCRM.
