Transfer labels from leads to deals

Hi all,

It would be great if we could transfer labels from leads to deals. This way every time you assign a specific label to a lead, that label would then stick to deal coming from the lead, which can be pretty useful, especially if you want to keep track of the lead funnel: where it came from, and what type of deal it ended up being.

The use case:  when a lead is coming from marketing I assign the "Marketing lead" label and then I want to keep such label when the lead becomes a deal, so I can evaluate if marketing activities are creating quality leads or not.

Thanks!

    any update here? we have the same issue currently. The only way now is to fill in a deal label from lead label manually upon creation a new lead. 

    Thanks.

    Hello @Ueli Schwegler ,

     

    Mike has indeed submitted this as feedback as he mentioned, but our team have not yet had the opportunity to implement this feature. 

    Leads inbox has been going through some other changes and our team is currently working improving it as much as possible.

    Feedback is always appreciated so I will also be submitting this as feedback on your behalf. The more feedback we have about a specific feature, the better it will be as it indicates the need for it.

    Meanwhile, if there is anything else we can help you with, please feel free to reach out to our support team through our chat support or via email at support@pipedrive.com.

     

    Have a rest of a great day, take care for now and stay safe!

    Hello @Michael Dudli,

    At the moment the Deal label still needs to be manually added when converting a Lead to a Deal. 

    I just mentioned to Ueli (on the post above), that this is a feature that has not yet been implemented, but the more feedback we get the better it is as it gives us a sense of urgency in what we should be focusing on next.

    I will also be submitting feedback internally on your behalf.

    Hi everyone!

    Is this feature likely to be implemented soon? It seems very non-pipedrive to me to capture information about a lead (in the form of labels) and then just lose all this info when you convert the lead to a deal. Where does the data go to?

    We capture valuable information about leads while prospecting and want to use this throughout the sales cycle. I am thinking that I will need to set up a new 'leads pipeline' rather than use the leads inbox.

    Also, I would need to create custom fields for each piece of information,  since the People Label can only be assigned one value (unlike the multiple labels in the leads inbox)

    Has anyone found a good way to manage this?

    Hi guys.  I agree with wanting this feature.  I’m a new user but I love the labels and wish they would tra over to a deal.

    We would also be interested in this feature. Very important to keep track of where the leads come from. Any updates so far?

    This is a great request. We use lead labels to understand segments so that we can quickly send messaging via Dux Soup to LinkedIn connections (populating campaigns etc). 

    It would be great for this to flow across to deals - as the prospect research has already been captured - it would be much easier to manage more personalised messaging with the labels still in place.

    In addition to the benefit of keeping the track of where come leads, it avoids a loss of time creating same labels in lead and deal parts + to reassign the labels.

    Please pipedrive, do communicate on availability date of this feature. 

    Thanks to Letizia Zappa for this valuable idea.

    +1 on this one. It is out there since Nov 2020 and all replies point in the same direction: Let's implement this or at the very least a workaround/automation to convert or copy a lead label to a deal label.

    Great idea Letizia Zappa

    This seems like a no-brainer to me !!

    What is the purpose of labels if they can't be associated with a client throughout the whole sales cycle.

    Pipedrive do such a great job in general of making a fine CRM tool but this seems at odds with the whole design philosophy of creating a piece of software that's sole purpose is to streamline the sales communication process, and then this requires the user to have re-enter such basic customer relation information.

    Please consider adding.

    Hello everybody!

    As I (as an active Pipedrive user) can see, the label transfer from leads to deals wasn't implemented yet. Any idea if this will be done soon?

    +1. no. +2!

    Pipedrive, please do this!

    And while you're at it, let the labels also be transferred to organizations )

    In any case, adding as an automation option could be sufficient for now

    Any updates? This functionality sounds extremely simple and was already requested 3 years ago. Any plans to introduce it?

    Why not just make a custom attribute? I use these more than I do labels to be honest.

    Hi @Ant and others, I've reached out to the team working on Leads, I will return here with an answer from them as soon as I have it ;)

    Hey hey everyone,

    at the moment we do not have work on Leads-Deals Labels on our roadmap however I hope I can get you excited about functionality, which is in preparation as we speak and hopefully could help you to solve some cases.

    What we are working on at the moment with the team is to add a new system field into Deals which should help you capture the "Source" of Deal (Lead) throughout your sales cycle.

    After the release you will be able to add sources of your Lead, the same piece of data will be available once converted to Deal or added if you create a Deal straight away without previous conversion.

    Please Let me know what do you think!

    Thank you

    Veronika

    Hello Veronika,

    That's perfect news, this is exactly what I wanted to utilize labels for :D

    Any ETA?

    Big thanks for the answer and really looking forward to this functionality!
