The 12 Pipeline Stages

Core Principles

• Every lead lives in ONE pipeline. No floating contacts.
• Every pipeline has a Smart Plan. No orphan automation.
• Pipelines control behavior. Move the lead → automation changes.
• Activate first. Optimize later. Do not rewrite everything before it's live.

Implementation Assignment

• Create all 12 pipeline stages exactly as shown
• Confirm stage order matches training
• Remove unused or duplicate stages
• Clean up naming inconsistencies
• Set up your email signature
• Activate Smart Plans for: New Leads, Follow Up / Nurture, Appointment Set

Core Principle

Pipelines are decisions. Not storage. Every contact must answer: What happens next?

New Leads

Entry: Opt-in leads only:

• Website forms
• Paid ads
• Referrals
• Sign calls

Never import cold lists here.

Goal: Contact within 5 minutes. Appointment within 48 hours.

Required Actions: Immediately: Call, Text, Apply New Lead Smart Plan

Exit:

• Appointment booked → Appointment Set
• No response after 48 hours → Attempted Contact

Leaving leads here longer than 48 hours destroys conversion.

Attempted Contact

Dormant leads. Not dead. Two options:

• Reactivation Smart Plan
• Home Reports drip

Exit:

• Reply → Follow Up / Nurture
• Appointment → Appointment Set

Failure mode: letting leads live here permanently.

Follow Up / Nurture

Purpose: timeline + intent sorting. Every contact must have:

• Buyer or Seller
• Timeframe: 0–1 months, 1–3, 3–6, 6–12, 12+

Default Seller. Listings drive revenue.

Exit: Appointment booked → Appointment Set

Appointment Set

Purpose: protect the meeting. Automation includes:

• Confirmation text
• 24-hour reminder
• Day-of reminder
• Pre-selling email

Appointment Set ≠ Appointment Met.

Appointment Met

Single decision: Did paperwork get signed?

• YES → Signed Agreement
• NO → 12-Month Follow Up

They did not reject you. They delayed commitment.

Signed Agreement

Daily onboarding for 5 days. Weekly education thereafter.

Then:

• Seller → Marketing Not MLS
• Buyer → Showing

Under Contract

Automations follow transaction milestones:

• Inspection
• Appraisal
• Financing
• Closing

Keep pipeline updated immediately as status changes.

Closed

Required actions:

• Send review request
• Deliver client gift
• Move to Lifetime

Every closing becomes marketing.

Lifetime Clients

Automation includes:

• Monthly relationship text
• Quarterly value email
• Client events
• Investor workshops

This is your referral engine.

Reporting

Track weekly:

• New Leads
• Appointments Set
• Appointments Met
• Signed Agreements
• Under Contract
• Closed

If appointments are high but signed is low → sales issue

If leads are high but appointments low → speed issue

The CRM reflects reality.

Daily Rules

Every day:

• Inbox zero
• Tasks complete
• Pipelines updated

Weekly Rules

• Reject bad leads
• Clean duplicates
• Confirm automation
• Update tags

Dirty data breaks automation.

Rejected Pipeline

Bad leads. Lost deals. Protects:

• Deliverability
• Focus
• Team morale

Support

Slack or email. Include:

• Screenshots
• Pipeline name
• Clear question

Final System Truth

You don't manage leads. You manage pipelines.

You don't chase deals. You execute systems.

Real Estate OS removes friction so people can perform.
