They can buy what you’re selling within the timeframe you need them to buy it
In the early-stage startup world, the deal-closing timeframe needs to be 30 days or less. You aren’t living year-to-year, quarter-to-quarter, or even month-to-month. You live and die by the day, so if that lead isn’t ready to move forward within the next 30 days, that isn’t a qualified opportunity, and you need to walk away.
Build that process into your own CRM. What do I mean? Most CRMs have an object called an Opportunity, and they have Statuses or stages of each Opportunity—that you can define. The first one is usually "qualified."
In Close, you can set up customized Lead Statuses (such as “new lead,” “qualified,” or “customer”) as well as Opportunity Pipelines to describe each stage of the deal in your sales process. Your business is unique, and so your pipeline should reflect your own unique selling methods and customer journey.

All this information will feed into the successful development of your unique sales pipeline.
