What Is Adding Prospects to a Pipeline in Prospecting?

Add Prospects to a Pipeline lets you add a newly created prospect to an existing pipeline and stage while generating the prospect’s Marketing Audit Report.

What Add Prospects to a Pipeline Does

Add Prospects to a Pipeline connects Prospecting with pipeline management.

When a prospect is added, Kyrios can create the prospect record, generate the Marketing Audit Report, and place the prospect into a selected pipeline stage.

This removes the need to manually create or update a pipeline opportunity after prospecting.


Key Benefits

Adding prospects to a pipeline helps sales teams move from lead discovery to follow-up faster.

Benefits include:

  1. Instant deal tracking
    A new prospect can enter a pipeline as soon as it is added.

  2. Faster pipeline creation
    Users can build pipeline activity while prospecting.

  3. Organized follow-up
    Prospects can be placed in the correct stage for next steps.

  4. Better visibility
    Teams can manage prospecting activity and sales activity in one workflow.

  5. Improved measurement
    Prospecting-generated leads can be tracked alongside other CRM activity.

To find prospects, open Marketing > Prospecting and click Add Prospect.

On the prospect search screen, enter a keyword or business name, location, and radius. Then click Search.

How to Select a Prospect
