# Tracking Deals by Size

In an ideal world, you always want to give each of your deals the same amount of attention. Each one of your clients should feel special, no matter how large or small the deal. However, it is important to prioritize your deals so you can focus your attention on the largest ones first.

Tracking deals by their size is a powerful way to increase income and grow your business because it helps stay on top of those big deals. With Daylite, staying focused on the deals that have the biggest impact on your business is easy.

Any time a lead or client expresses interest in a product or service, you want to create an **Opportunity** and then add an **Estimate**. If you are not familiar with creating Opportunities, start by reading the Learn article [How to Capture New Business.](https://docs.daylite.app/help/learn/close-more-deals/capture-new-business).

## Capturing the Value of a Deal

Daylite lets you enter a **Value** into an Opportunity card with a single click, which can be incredibly beneficial for those "on the fly" meetings or phone calls, where you may just want to quickly enter a value as a placeholder.

1. Select the **New Opportunity** menu, or double click an existing Opportunity card.

2. If you are creating a new Opportunity, select **value** to enter how much the deal is worth.

3. If you already have an existing Opportunity that you would like to enter a **value** for, double click on the Opportunity card, then select **edit** to add a value.

## Creating a Full Estimate

If you wish to add greater detail to your value, you can create an **Estimate** to capture the full value of your deal:

1. Select an **Opportunity** and click on the **Estimate** tab.

3. The **Estimate** for your deal will now be reflected in the Opportunity's **value**.

## Creating a Product or Service in Daylite Preferences

If you repeatedly sell the same Products or Services to your clients, you can save them in the Daylite Preferences to be used any time you create an Estimate.

1. Navigate to **Daylite Preferences > Products & Services**.

3. Now you can enter the information for **Details**, **Pricing**, **Extras** and **Comments**. These are all optional entries, so you only have to fill out what's useful to you.
