Deal Slippage

This article describes how Deal Slippage works in Kickscale.

Written by Team Kickscale

Availability: HubSpot only

Deal Slippage is available only when your workspace is connected to HubSpot.

The feature relies on HubSpot property history for close date and deal amount over time.

Overview

Deal Slippage helps you spot deals that are slipping in the pipeline:

Type

What counts as slippage

Close date

The close date was pushed out (moved to a later date)

Deal amount

The deal value decreased

Kickscale uses CRM field change history (when a field changed and what it changed from and to), not only the current values on the deal.

You can narrow results by deal owner, by when changes happened, and (for close date) by what the close date was set to after the change.

Where to find it: CRM → Deals → Slippage

You only see deals you are allowed to access in Kickscale—the same rules as on the Deals overview.


Filters at the top

Filters use Deal Owner plus a short sentence. They apply to the whole page.

  • Select one or more users or teams, or leave empty for all owners you can see.

  • Scopes both the main table and Users without slippage.

“Show me deals where … was changed in …”

Option

Meaning

either field

Close date or deal amount slipped in the period below (both types are included)

close date

Only close date pushed out

deal amount

Only deal value decreased

“was changed in” (date range)

Limits deals to those where the CRM field was updated in that period—for example this month (default), last 30 days, this quarter, all time, or a custom range.

Only deals with a qualifying change in this window are shown.

If you choose Custom, you must set both start and end dates or the list will not load.

“and the close date value is in …” (close date only)

This line appears only when the field is close date.

It further narrows which close-date changes count: among changes in the “was changed in” window, only those where the new close date (the value after the change) falls in this second range.

Example: close date was changed this month, and the new close date falls in next quarter.


What you see on the page

Summary table (by deal owner)

Column

Meaning

Owner

CRM deal owner

Slipped deals

Number of deals with slippage for that owner

Lost days total

Total days close dates were pushed out

Lost amount

Total decrease in deal value (decreases only)

Click a row to expand that owner’s deals.

The summary counts adverse changes only: close dates moved later or amounts reduced. Earlier close dates or higher amounts are not counted as slipped deals here.

Expanded deal list per owner

Column

What it shows

Name

Deal and company

Timeline

Recent meetings and calls; click to open Activity in the deal drawer

Deal value

Current amount; highlight when value dropped vs the previous history entry

Close date

Current close date; extra days shown when the date was pushed out

Deal age

Age in days

Pipeline / stage

Current pipeline and stage

Next step

Whether next steps are set

  • Click a row to open the deal detail drawer.

  • Long lists use pagination (5, 10, or 25 per page).

Users without slippage

A expandable list of owners in your filter scope who had no slipping deals in the selected period - useful to see who stayed stable.


Practical use cases

  • Weekly pipeline review: This month + either field → who slipped and by how much.

  • Forecast risk: close date + changed this month + close date value in next quarter → deals pushed but still near term.

  • Discount / value review: deal amount + last 30 days → where value went down.


Tips and best practices

  • Use the close date value filter when you care where dates moved to, not only that they changed.

  • Use the timeline and deal drawer to connect slippage with engagement.

  • Use the same filters for consistent reviews.
