This feature allows you to manage multiple business units in your Zoho CRM system.

It is a systematic method that one follows to navigate between multiple stages through which a sales prospect moves, ie from becoming a lead to becoming a customer. A sales pipeline also helps you determine exactly where your business opportunities lie as well as outlining the actions you need to perform in order to convert a prospect into a customer.
