Sales and Marketing Pipeline alignment - looking for advice

We are aiming at reaching sales and marketing alignment in Pipedrive. For example we've built a marketing pipe to reflect the stages before a lead turns into a sales qualified one. Sometimes Pipedrive doesn't meet our needs in the marketing department though. 

I'm looking for fellow Pipedrivers who also work with a marketing pipe, meaning you've built a pipe with stages that reflects the full customer journey, not only reflecting the sales process. 

I'm looking to pick your brain on what's working and not. For example: 

  • What stages do you have and what are the definitions?
  • How do you make sure the deals move along the pipeline?
  • Do you do the work manually or do you use automation?

Please let me know in the comments below! Thanks!

    In another post today, I asked about how to have Leads self-complete the variables we want to have in our CRM (based upon which we'd start Marketing or Sales campaigns), so I'd add "Incomplete Lead" and "Complete Lead" to your list of Stages...
