@rachelbrowne - one thought (bandaid) that might help, if you're viewing the table view instead of the board view, is you could add the "Next Activity Date" column. If there are tasks set up on the deal, the due date should be factored in to Next Activity. (so would any scheduled meetings, etc.), and it could at least help with prioritization?
Definitely need. We are using a work around to display products in title, which in turn effects our reports. It's a lose-lose situation with this lack of functionality.
I have this requirement as our clients value different details. Added customisation at this level is always going to be a good thing for all users as it will allow the interface to be suited to everybodys M.O.
My sales team has asked for this feature twice now. As they merge away from their spreadsheets, having custom colors available for the deal stages would really help.
Are u kidding me? Look at the amount of comments and upvotes... plus how long this topic has been engaged with by Hubspot customers similar to us. UPVOTE +1 here and please Hubspot... do something???
I have seen many threads on this topic, and it is clearly important to Hubspot users for years now. This will make or break our decision to upgrade to a paid version of Hubspot, or go to Pipefy instead.
In the meantime, is there at least a view that shows only upcoming activity due dates? I found how to sort deals by most recently due acitivites, but it shows the whole board. If I could at least see a list of deals that only have tasks due today, for example, I could temporarily circumvent the need to have color coding and customizable propoerties on cards.
But in the long term, color coding for us is indispensible. Last year, I used Trello for this reason. Our customers are divided by local pickup, shipping or local delivery. Each customer type is handeled differently, therefore color coding is a must. I may either stick with Trello or go to Pipefy.
If anyone knows how to at least sort the deals by scheduled task date, that would be most appreciated!
I have had the same thought. Our deals can take up to a year or more to close. Maybe if we could even have the cards color-coded to signify Hot, Mild - still a prospect but may not happen this quarter/year, cold - they are not responding to our follow up but they are not dead yet. I rely on my deals page, but we can have so many deals in progress that I can't tell what may land this quarter. Makes meetings run long when you have to ask your salespeople about each and every deal.
