You want to track each prospect through every stage, see who is active, and know your next action. Here’s a structured way to do it:

 

Perfect question — this is where a sales pipeline system becomes a real tool instead of just a diagram. You want to track each prospect through every stage, see who is active, and know your next action. Here’s a structured way to do it:

1. Use a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Tool

Even a simple CRM can track each person stage by stage. Some options:

  • Simple/Free: Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Trello

  • Network Marketing / Sales-oriented: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Salesforce

2. Define Each Stage in Your CRM

Based on your expanded pipeline, stages might be:

  1. Market / Leads Identified – added to your list but not contacted yet

  2. Contacted – first conversation done

  3. Qualified – confirmed fit and interest

  4. Appointment Set – agreed to presentation/meeting

  5. Presentation Completed

  6. Validation / Proof Shared – testimonials, results, reviews

  7. Follow-Up – waiting for decision or more questions

  8. Closed / Decision Made – bought product, joined business, or declined

  9. Onboarding / Support – new customer/team member actively using/training

  10. Retention / Duplication – follow-up for repeat purchase, mentoring, or growing their team

Each person gets one stage at a time, which updates as they progress.

3. Track Actions and Notes

  • Keep next action date for each prospect.

  • Record conversation notes: needs, objections, interests.

  • Track communications: calls, WhatsApp, email, social messages.

4. Optional: Use a Pipeline Visualization

  • Many CRMs allow Kanban-style boards: columns = stages, cards = people.

  • Drag the card as they move through stages.

  • Example: Trello board → columns = stages, cards = prospects.

5. Metrics to Monitor

  • Total leads in each stage

  • Conversion rates (e.g., Contact → Presentation → Close)

  • Time spent in each stage

  • Number of follow-ups needed per person

✅ Pro tip:
For network marketing, I recommend Trello or Airtable for simplicity and drag-and-drop visualization, and Google Sheets if you want full control with formulas to track conversion percentages.
