Lifecycle: Returning Customer Sales/Conversion Tracking
I

Business Problem
For many businesses after the lead has made their first sales there is repeat business. Business owners would also like to know the conversion rates for the repeat business. Some of examples of this could be:
- Customer comes back to buy an additional product or service
- Customer inquires about a new service and an appointment needs to be booked
Business Owners would like to know the following
- How many new opportunities from existing customers do they have each day/week/month
- How many of those opportunities were converted

We also work with clients who often return for a second or third service, and we’ve felt the gap in the lifecycle after the "Won" stage. I understand Lifecycle currently ends at "Won", but what happens when the same customer comes back later? Right now, we’re unsure if we should reopen the deal, duplicate it, or manually track as a new lead.
My suggestion is to introduce a post-Won stage—something like:
New Lead → Discussion → 1st Booking Confirmed (Won) → Existing Client (when they return for a 2nd session/product or more).
This would help businesses track repeat conversions more clearly and align better with customer retention strategies. Hope this feedback helps—would love to see this added to the lifecycle!
