Manage lost opportunities
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
While working with your opportunities, you might lose some of them. You
|
||||
will want to keep track of the reasons you lost them and also which ways
|
||||
Odoo can help you recover them in the future.
|
||||
Not all opportunities result in successful sales. In order to keep the pipeline up to date, lost
|
||||
opportunities need to be identified. Specifying the reason why an opportunity was lost provides
|
||||
additional insight that can prove useful for future opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
Mark a lead as lost
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
While in your pipeline, select any opportunity you want and you will see
|
||||
a *Mark Lost* button.
|
||||
To mark a lead as lost, open the :menuselection:`CRM` application, and select a lead from the
|
||||
pipeline, by clicking on its corresponding kanban card. Doing so reveals that lead's detail form.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then select an existing *Lost Reason* or create a new one
|
||||
right there.
|
||||
Then, click :guilabel:`Lost`, located at the top of the lead's detail form.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Manage & create lost reasons
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
This opens the :guilabel:`Lost Reason` popup. From the drop-down, choose an existing lost reason. If
|
||||
no applicable reason is available, create a new one by entering it into the :guilabel:`Lost Reason`
|
||||
field, and clicking :guilabel:`Create`.
|
||||
|
||||
You will find your *Lost Reasons* under :menuselection:`Configuration --> Lost Reasons`.
|
||||
Additional notes and comments can be added below the lost reason designated in the :guilabel:`Lost
|
||||
Reason` field.
|
||||
|
||||
You can select & rename any of them as well as create a new one from
|
||||
there.
|
||||
When all the desired information has been entered in the :guilabel:`Lost Reason` pop-up window,
|
||||
click :guilabel:`Submit`.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Upon clicking :guilabel:`Submit`, the pop-up window disappears, and Odoo returns to the lead detail
|
||||
form, where a new red :guilabel:`Lost` banner is now present in the upper-right corner of the lead.
|
||||
|
||||
Create/edit lost reasons
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new lost reason, or edit an existing one, navigate to :menuselection:`CRM app -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Lost Reasons`.
|
||||
|
||||
To edit an existing reason, click on the reason that should be modified. When clicked, that reason
|
||||
becomes highlighted. Once highlighted, change the description of the selected lost reason by editing
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Description` field. When done, click :guilabel:`Save` in the upper-left corner.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new lost reason, click :guilabel:`Create` in the upper-left corner of the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Lost Reasons` page. Doing so reveals a new blank line in the :guilabel:`Description`
|
||||
field. Then, proceed to type in the new lost reason in that new line. Once ready, click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieve lost opportunities
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
To retrieve lost opportunities and do actions on them (send an email,
|
||||
make a feedback call, etc.), select the *Lost* filter in the search
|
||||
bar.
|
||||
To retrieve lost opportunities in Odoo *CRM*, open the :menuselection:`CRM app` to the main
|
||||
:guilabel:`Pipeline` dashboard. Then, click the :guilabel:`Filters` drop-down menu, located beneath
|
||||
the search bar.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Search bar with lost filter emphasized.
|
||||
|
||||
You will then see all your lost opportunities.
|
||||
From the :guilabel:`Filters` drop-down menu, select the :guilabel:`Lost` option. Upon selecting
|
||||
:guilabel:`Lost`, only the leads that have been marked as `Lost` appear on the :guilabel:`Pipeline`
|
||||
page.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to refine them further, you can add a filter on the *Lost
|
||||
Reason*.
|
||||
To filter leads by a specific lost reason, select :menuselection:`Filters --> Add Custom Filter`.
|
||||
Doing so reveals another drop-down menu with three fields.
|
||||
|
||||
For Example, *Too Expensive*.
|
||||
In the top field drop-down menu, select :guilabel:`Lost Reason`. In the second field drop-down menu,
|
||||
select :guilabel:`Contains`. Then, in the third field of the :guilabel:`Add Custom Field` sub menu,
|
||||
type in the specific keyword(s). Lastly, click :guilabel:`Apply`. Upon clicking :guilabel:`Apply`,
|
||||
Odoo reveals all the lost leads with a reason that contains that specified keyword(s).

|

|
||||
Restore lost opportunities
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
From the Kanban view with the filter(s) in place, you can select any
|
||||
opportunity you wish and work on it as usual. You can also restore it by
|
||||
clicking on *Archived*.
|
||||
To restore a lost opportunity, navigate to the main :guilabel:`Pipeline` dashboard on the *CRM* app,
|
||||
open the :guilabel:`Filters` drop-down menu, and select the :guilabel:`Lost` option. Doing so
|
||||
reveals all the lost opportunities on the :guilabel:`Pipeline` page.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: lost_opportunities/lost_opportunities04.png
|
||||
Then, click on the kanban card of the desired lost opportunity to restore, which opens that lead's
|
||||
detail form.
|
||||
|
||||
From the lost lead's detail form, click :guilabel:`Restore` in the upper-left corner. Doing so
|
||||
removes the red :guilabel:`Lost` banner from the lead form, signifying the lead has been restored.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can also restore items in batch from the Kanban view when they
|
||||
belong to the same stage. Select *Restore Records* in the column
|
||||
options. You can also archive the same way.
|
||||
Restore multiple opportunities at once
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: lost_opportunities/lost_opportunities05.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
To select specific opportunities, you should switch to the list view.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: lost_opportunities/lost_opportunities06.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can select as many or all opportunities and select the actions
|
||||
you want to take.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: lost_opportunities/lost_opportunities07.png
|
||||
To restore multiple opportunities at once, navigate to the main :guilabel:`Pipeline` dashboard in
|
||||
the *CRM* app, open the :guilabel:`Filters` drop-down menu, and select the :guilabel:`Lost` option.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, select the list view option, which is represented by the three-line :guilabel:`☰ (list)` icon
|
||||
in the upper-right corner. Doing so places all the leads from the :guilabel:`Pipeline` page in a
|
||||
list form. With the list form chosen, select the checkbox to the left of each desired
|
||||
opportunity/lead to be restored.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the desired opportunities/leads have been selected, click the :guilabel:`⚙️ Action (gear)`
|
||||
drop-down menu at the top of the :guilabel:`Pipeline` page. From the :guilabel:`⚙️ Action (gear)`
|
||||
drop-down menu, select :guilabel:`Unarchive`.
|
||||
|
||||
Doing so removes those selected lost opportunities from the :guilabel:`Pipeline` page because they
|
||||
no longer fit into the `Lost` filter criteria. To reveal these newly-restored leads, delete the
|
||||
`Lost` filter from the search bar.
