The default opportunity stages offered within the CRM module are initial contact, suspect, application of initial fit criteria, need assessment, qualified prospect, proposal, negotiations, closure/transaction, unsuccessfully closed. Their detailed description can be found on the 'Opportunity Stages' page of the 'Settings' tab.
