When prospecting new sales, adding potential clients as Leads in CRM can help sales teammates manage and track accurate pipelines. When a prospective customer has more than a 10% (customizable) chance of becoming a sale, it’s time to qualify the Lead and convert it to the Opportunity stage. Sales associates and managers can easily track Leads and prospects through all stages of the sales life cycle under Opportunities in Nextiva CRM.
Qualifying a Lead creates a new Opportunity using existing Account and Contact records and also provides easy access to add new details during conversion. The Lead itself will be deleted during conversion.
