Purpose: 

The purpose of this article is to provide information to Outreach Users regarding the Opportunity List View. 

Intended Audience: 

  • Outreach Users

Notes: 

  • Outreach recommends Users create an Opportunity in the CRM and sync it down to Outreach as Opportunity management platforms, such as Salesforce, have tools to define attributes such as deal close dates and amounts. For more information refer to the How To Sync Salesforce Opportunities in Outreach article. 
  • Prospects must be added to an Opportunity to view the activity and data tied to the Prospect record as it updates through an Opportunity. Outreach recommends adding Prospects to the Opportunity in the CRM and syncing content back to Outreach. For more information on adding Prospects to an Opportunity, refer to the Assign a Prospect to an Opportunity article.

The Opportunities List View is separated into six columns as described in the table below: 

 

Column Description
Name Displays:
  • The Opportunity Name
  • Opportunity Close Date (if assigned)
  • Deal Amount (if assigned)
  • Number of Prospects - Hovering over the number of Prospects provides users with a quick glance of the associated Opportunity, Prospects, their title, and when they were last contacted.
    • Click the decorated Prospects link navigates users to the Opportunity's Prospects tab which lists Prospects associated with the Opportunity in more detail.
Note: Close dates and deal amounts are defined in the CRM when creating an Opportunity. For more information regarding close dates and deal amounts, refer to the applicable CRM support content.
Stage
  • The stage (i.e. Prospecting, Nurturing, Closed, etc.) associated with the Opportunity.
  • Click a stage in the column to sort and filter the current list view by the selected stage.
Emails
  • Hovering over the email bars displays the amount of outbound and inbound emails processed within the past 12 months.
  • Each bar represents a month and is color-coded to indicate engagement.
    • A grey bar indicates an engagement did not occur during the month.
    • A blue bar indicates an engagement occurred during the month.
    • When there is email activity with the account, the bars appear dark and light blue to illustrate the outbound to inbound email ratio.
    • Light blue is outbound and dark blue is inbound broken out by month.
Status Displays:
  • Meeting - Hovering over the calendar icon displays the date of the last and upcoming meetings, when either has been set. A blue calendar icon indicates an upcoming meeting has been scheduled. A gray icon indicates there are no upcoming meetings scheduled.
  • Tasks - Hovering over the tasks icon displays the number of due tasks associated with the Opportunity.
    • Click the task icon to navigate to the Opportunity's Task tab which lists open (not completed) tasks for Prospects associated with the Opportunity.
  • Sequence - The sequence icon tells you if the Opportunity is active in a sequence.
    • A blue paper plane indicates the Opportunity is associated with a sequence.
    • A gray icon indicates the Opportunity is not active in a sequence.
      • Click the blue paper plane icon to navigate to the Opportunity's Sequence tab which displays a list of sequences associated with the Opportunity in more detail.
  • CRM Sync - The cloud icon represents CRM synchronization (Salesforce or Dynamics). When the cloud icon is blue, the Opportunity is synced to the corresponding Opportunity in the CRM. A gray cloud indicates no sync has been created between Outreach and the CRM.
    • Click the blue cloud icon to navigate to the corresponding page in the CRM.
Next Steps Displays the next steps and is color coordinated to identify if information for next steps is available. If the paper icon is blue, the text has been added regarding next steps, if the icon is gray, information has not been added about next steps.
This field can be synced with Salesforce if users have inbound sync enabled. Outreach only recommends inbound sync at this time.
Note: The Opportunity modified date is based on when the Opportunity was last updated in any way, not based on when the next step was last updated.
Owner Displays the owner of the Opportunity. Click the owner's initials or avatar to display a list of opportunities owned by the user.
More Options (...) Provides users a dropdown menu to edit or delete the record.
