Quotation from the web link:
Scenario: Working the Pipeline
Entellium eSalesForce, our hosted CRM solution, offers best-in-class sales workflow that supports multiple sales processes, complete with unique sales stages, tasks and forecasting rules - other hosted CRM vendors just can't match this level of opportunity management. Entellium eMobile gives you this same powerful functionality when you're away from the office. You get full-blown access to the sales workflow you need to step through the most appropriate sales process, no matter what kind of deal it is (major accounts, channel sales, and so on).

Hope this helps!

agree  Can Altinbay: Yes, and also, what is in the pipeline is in different stages of readiness. Recent additions still need to be worked through the whole process, later ones are more ready to come out, in this case, the company is ready to sell, and you are ready to buy.

agree  Ioanna Karamanou: or keeping informed/ gathering information on all points. That is the only thing to which pipeline could relate in the full context provided. Doing your as much due diligence as possible before the deal is a deal, and keeping all the channels open.
