Note: Probability in Pipedrive is the likelihood that a deal will be marked as WON.

Programming probability for each stage in your pipeline gives you an understanding of your company’s income so you can budget effectively.

Setting up stage probability

Go to the pipeline view and click on the pencil icon next to the pipeline dropdown, or hover your cursor over a pipeline and click the pencil icon there.

In the probability section of the stage, provide a number between 0 and 100, then click “Save changes.”
