How to Log Your First Deal

A step-by-step walkthrough of the Deal Log form — entering customer info, selecting staff, adding trade details, and setting deal status.

1

Open the Deal Log and tap + Add Deal

From the main nav, tap Deal Log. On mobile it's in the bottom tab bar; on desktop it's in the top nav. Then tap the + Add Deal button in the top-right corner to open the new deal drawer.

💡 TipYou must have at least one salesperson added under People before a deal can be assigned.
2

Fill in the deal form

The form is interactive — here's exactly what you'll see. Try clicking the deal type buttons and status pills below:

  • → Customer name — first and last name of the buyer.
  • → Deal type — New, Used, or Dealer Purchase.
  • → Vehicle — year, make, and model are required. Stock number is optional.
  • → Salesperson — pick the primary salesperson from your team list.
  • → Status — Pending, Closed, Lost, or Delivered. You can update this later.
3

Add a split deal or BDC agent (optional)

If the deal was a collaboration, scroll down in the form to assign a split salesperson. Each person's deal will count 0.5 toward their unit total on the leaderboard. You can also credit a BDC Agent who set the appointment.

📌 NoteSplit deals appear in the Deal Log with both names shown. Both salespeople see the deal on their individual dashboards.
4

Add trade-in details (if applicable)

Check "Has trade-in?" to reveal the trade fields. You can enter the trade vehicle's year, make, and model. If your store has trade disposition enabled, a radio button group will appear to select where the trade is going (Auction, CarMax, Retail, etc.).
