A sales rep can manage their funnel to win more deals by effectively tracking and managing the stages of their sales funnel. This includes understanding the status of each lead and prioritizing the most important stages or lead statuses. Additionally, they should be aware of their position within the sales team and continuously strive to improve their performance.

The different lead statuses in a sales funnel can vary depending on the specific sales team. However, they generally represent the stages a potential customer goes through in the sales process. These can include statuses such as 'new', 'contacted', 'qualified', 'proposal sent', 'negotiation', 'won', or 'lost'.
