<h2>The HealthSherpa-Integrated Pipeline</h2>
<p>Most agents track enrollments with a simple list or spreadsheet. A pipeline gives you visual, stage-by-stage tracking with conversion metrics at every step. When integrated with HealthSherpa, pipeline stages advance automatically based on webhook events — no manual dragging required.</p>
</section>

<h2>Recommended Pipeline Stages</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>New Lead:</strong> Contact captured from any source. Automation: instant SMS + speed-to-lead sequence</li>
<li><strong>Contacted:</strong> Agent or AI has made first contact. Automation: nurture sequence begins</li>
<li><strong>Appointment Set:</strong> Plan review call scheduled. Automation: appointment reminder sequence</li>
<li><strong>SOA Signed:</strong> Scope of Appointment documented. Required before plan discussion</li>
<li><strong>Sent to HealthSherpa:</strong> Contact pushed via API with pre-filled data. Automation: agent opens plan comparison</li>
<li><strong>Quoted:</strong> Client has viewed plan options. Webhook: plan comparison activity</li>
<li><strong>Enrolled:</strong> Application submitted and confirmed. Webhook: enrollment confirmation</li>
<li><strong>Cross-Sell Opportunity:</strong> AI identified supplemental product gaps. Automation: cross-sell sequence triggered</li>
</ol>

<h2>Pipeline Velocity Metrics</h2>
<p>Track how long leads spend in each stage:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New Lead → Contacted:</strong> Should be under 60 seconds with automation</li>
<li><strong>Contacted → Appointment:</strong> Average 1–3 days</li>
<li><strong>Appointment → Enrolled:</strong> Average 1–2 days during AEP</li>
<li><strong>Enrolled → Cross-Sell:</strong> Should trigger within 24–48 hours</li>
</ul>

<h2>Revenue Forecasting</h2>
<p>With stage conversion rates, you can forecast AEP commission:</p>
<p>If you have 100 leads in pipeline, 60% reach Appointment, 70% of those get Quoted, and 80% of Quoted become Enrolled — you're looking at 34 enrollments. At $400 average commission, that's $13,600 in projected revenue.</p>
