# Create a Sales Event

Sales events help you schedule estimates, meetings, and other activities for your team. You can create a new event from several places in PaintScout.

## Creating a Sales Event

1. Click the **+New Event** button.
2. Select the **event type.**
3. Select which **deal** the event is associated with.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro tip:** When scheduling a day and time, look at the map to see where your teammate will be throughout the day so you can schedule sales events that are geographically close to one another.
