Variant A
Variant B
Check the bell
Click the bell icon (top right). Anything new? Hot lead alerts, renewals coming up, stale deals - knock these out first while they're fresh.
Clear overdue tasks
Go to Tasks, filter to "Overdue". Reschedule what you can, complete what you can, delete what's stale. Empty by lunch.
Move your pipeline
Open Pipeline. Drag at least 2 deals forward today. If something's been in Negotiation for 7+ days, it's stale - act now or kill it.
Touch one cold lead
Sort Leads by score. Make 1 call to a Hot lead. Send 1 email to a Warm lead. Compounding effort = compounding pipeline.
Power Moves
Hot Leads First, Always
Sort the Leads board by score descending. Anything over your hot threshold deserves a same-day phone call. Email is fine for warm; cold leads can wait.
The 2-Hour SLA
Inbound leads that get a response in under 2 hours convert at 7x the rate of leads that wait 24 hours. Hit it fast every time.
Take a Note Every Touch
Every call, every email, every meeting - jot a note on the record. Future-you and your manager will thank you. The Notes section is right on the detail panel.
Use Recurring Tasks
When you log an activity, set "Repeat" to weekly or monthly for check-ins. Forge auto-creates the next one when you mark this one done. Never forget a touchpoint.
Friday Forecast Review
Every Friday, open Forecasting. Update each deal's category (Commit / Best Case / Pipeline). Your manager pulls this exact view on Monday morning.
Templates Save Hours
Write your best follow-up email once, save it as a template (Setup > Email Templates). Next time, send in 10 seconds with merge fields filled in automatically.
Drag and Drop Stages
Don't open the deal to change its stage. Just drag the card on the Pipeline board. Forge auto-updates probability and logs the change for your manager.
Qualify Means Qualify
Move a lead to "Qualified" and Forge auto-creates an Opportunity in your Pipeline. Don't qualify until they have budget, authority, need, and timeline.
Lost Reasons Matter
When you mark a deal Closed Lost, Forge prompts you for the reason. Be honest. Patterns in lost reasons will tell you what to fix in your sales process.
Common Questions
Why don't I see my teammate's deals?
Sales Users see only their own records. If you need to see everyone's, you'll need Sales Manager or General Manager access - ask your admin.
How do I switch users?
Click your name in the top right header. Confirm sign out, then pick a different user on the login screen.
Where's my deal? I just created it.
Check your Owner filter. If a teammate is selected, you won't see deals assigned to you. Clear the filter or pick "All Owners".
How do I send an email blast?
Marketing tab > New Campaign. Pick your template and audience, hit Send. Stats update in real time.
Can I edit a stage after it's logged?
Yes. Open the deal, click Edit, change the stage, Save. Forge keeps the full history under Activity on the record.
What's the weighted forecast?
Sum of (deal value × probability) across all open deals. Your honest expected revenue. Find it on the Forecasting tab.
How do I generate a quote?
Open the opportunity, scroll to the bottom of Details. Click Generate Quote PDF. Print or save as PDF and email it.
Mobile or desktop?
Forge works equally well on both. On mobile, swipe horizontally on the nav to see all tabs. Filters and search work the same.
