Unassigned opportunities and long-stalled ones recycle to the opportunity pool, where reps actively claim them or managers direct-assign them — so opportunities with commercial potential aren't left "asleep in one rep's drawer."
Opportunities are worth more than customers; the pool mechanism keeps every one moving forward
Opportunities lingering in a stage beyond N days auto-recycle to the pool, avoiding "stuck at initial intent, never progressing"
Reps browse the opportunity pool and claim suitable ones in one click, then advance them under their own name
Big deals need experienced reps at the helm, so managers direct-assign pool opportunities to specialists
Before claiming, view the opportunity's stage history, past follow-up records and why it entered the pool, avoiding repeat mistakes
A rep who finds an opportunity unsuitable can return it to the pool with a stated reason, for others to take over

Stall Days / Recycle Threshold
Unlike customers who can be followed up repeatedly, an opportunity is a "window of sales chance." An opportunity stuck at the "Quote" stage for 30 days means either the customer already chose someone else or the rep hasn't found the right approach. The opportunity pool forces recycling, giving others on the team a chance to step in.

Not every rep is good at every type of opportunity. New reps practice on small deals, veterans take over big ones, specialists handle their industries. The opportunity pool is the stage for the team to fill in for each other.
A departing rep's 8 opportunities auto-enter the pool, and team members evaluate and claim the 5 worth continuing.
An opportunity stuck at quote for 45 days recycles to the pool, where a new rep finds the approach to negotiate and recovers an 800K order.
A junior rep opens an opportunity but can't negotiate past the quote stage, so the manager direct-assigns it to a senior rep to close.
A channel opportunity exceeds the original rep's scope, so the manager moves it to the key-account team, tilting resources toward high potential.
