The next release of Simple Sales Tracking is scheduled for tonight, so we thought we’d give you a quick heads up of what’s on the way. There are a few big improvements and we think you’re really going to like them!

One of the main ones is the introduction of Opportunity Stages to the sales pipeline. Opportunity Stages are fully customizable – so you’ll have better control and flexibility over your sales pipeline.

One big change to the software has to do with how the detail pages for Accounts, Opportunities, Leads and Contacts are layed out. You’ll find all of the same information that was present before, as well as some extra – but presented in a 3 column format. View a sample of an Opportunity Detail page.

As you’ll notice, we’ve put a greater emphasis on Notes – which will now include not only any notes you or other team members write, but also any activity updates that have to do with that record. We’ve also introduced Notes to Contacts, which did not exist previously.

In preparation for our social integration, we’ve added the ability to upload a photo or logo for any Account, Opportunity, Lead or Contact. Once the social integration is complete, you’ll have the option to have Simple Sales Tracking automatically import this information, if it’s available, from popular social sites – like LinkedIn.
