# [Deal Default Close Date [Video]](https://www.processproconsulting.com/resources/deal-default-close-date)

If you set a default close date for all new deals you no longer need to rely on your Reps to set a standard close date when the new deal is created. Use your data to automatically set the close date each time a new deal is created. 

## Two ways

There are two ways to set a default close date: 

1. **End of a certain period** - This month or next month. 
2. **Time from Deal Creation** - Any amount of days, weeks, or months can be set based on the number of days from deal creation. Take a look at your average days to close and set your close date.

## What are the benefits? 

1. **Accurate forecasting** - If you don't have an updated close date your forecast reports will be inaccurate.
2. ** Use your data** - You don't have to rely on *what you think it will take to close the deal*, you can use your average days to close as your initial close date
