I have a complex design on my hand which is essentially a wizard. Following mockup should give you a fair idea:

step1,step2 .... step 5 are additional steps which must be kept separate. I have issue with "Step2" as it contains a tabbed modal ( I don't even know if I should call it that or if such thing exists) with tabs "Add Product", add link etc.
The reason Add product has been kept in separate tab is that user can go on to multiple product. Thus after clicking on submit, user will be notified that the product has been added successfully and form will be cleared for new product to add if required. Same wiht Add link.
My question is , is there a way to reduce the complexity and make it a more simpler process for the user to get by this "step 2" as easily as possible?
