Notes
Attention

Engagement
The Lead makes contact and asks questions.
Investment
The Lead invests quality time to explore your offer. If you qualify the Lead. The Lead becomes a Prospect.
Conversion
The Prospect becomes a Customer.
The purpose of the Lead ‘master’ is to capture sufficient first contact information to enable salespeople to reach out to the contact to discover the customer’s ‘problem’, qualify the sales opportunity, and if appropriate convert the Lead to a Prospect.
Create Leads on Prospect and Customers
New Leads can emerge at any stage after the original Lead was captured. You can create Leads from the Prospect and Customer masters.
Alternatively, you can assign a Lead to a Prospect or Customer by selecting a ‘trading partner’ from the select action in the Company field on the Lead master.
