Quarterly company and deal pipeline activity reporting

SOLVE

Hi,

 

I'm currently looking for a way to create a report for my team dashboard that will report on the quarterly deal and company pipeline activity for a particular quarter.

 

Basically, I want something that will be able to tell me:

- How many companies this quarter have moved in the sales pipeline to any stage further down the funnel, compared to the stage they were at at the beginning of the quarter

- How many deals have moved in the respective product pipelines to any stage further down that funnel, compared to the stage they were at at the beginning of the quarter

 

Also, I don't want to show deals that have gone through stage 1 AND stage 2 AND stage 3, rather I want to be able to show deals that have gone through stage 1 OR stage 2 OR stage 3 etc.

I tried to use the date properties in reports, using the 'Date entered X stage' but it only gives me the option to use the 'AND' operator, not the 'OR'.

 

I'm thinking about creating a separate property with the latest company/deal stage update and then a worflow that will automatically update that property based on latest pipeline movement but I don't know if this is the right direction to go? Maybe there's something simpler that I havent though't of yet that you can point me towards.

 

Thanks in advance!

Justi

This is not possible out of the box, at least if you're referring to the company object. You would have to create a date property for each status that you'd like to track. Using a workflow, you would set a date stamp whenever a changes to the corresponding status. You can then create custom reports based on the count of companies on a date by referencing this date property.

 

This will result in one report by status. It's not possible to create funnel reports (like for contacts and deals) for companies.

This can be achieved easily by changing All to Any in the report settings of a funnel report:

This is also explained here: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/create-custom-funnel-reports

 

In general, these types of reports, once you stray from the default, aren't a strong suit of HubSpot. Wherever you need to track changes from one status to another, you're limited to what I described above. Either the default reports and report templates or one custom date property per status, stamped by a workflow.

 

(Date stamps will not automatically populate historically. You can export the history of the property you'd like to keep track of and re-import the information but it requires spending some time in Excel files.)

 

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!
