      What Is a HubSpot Deal, and How Do I Set It Up?

      In HubSpot, deals represent transactions with contacts or companies. Deals are tracked through your sales process in pipeline stages until won or lost.

      Use deals in HubSpot to track potential revenue through your sales process. You can associate deals with other records, such as contacts and companies involved in the deal. Once records are associated with a deal, HubSpot can associate the relevant activities to the deal record.

      Deals are captured in HubSpot's standard "Deals" object. Once you have created a deal, it'll have the same look and feel as the other standard objects, e.g.,  Contacts, Companies, Tickets, or any Custom Objects you can set up.

      HubSpot Deals are part of HubSpot's Sales Hub. The Sales Hub is available in several tiers, Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. HubSpot Academy has numerous resources covering training and certification in HubSpot Sales Software and general selling skills.
