Most good CRM solutions, including SugarCRM, provide this capability. If you choose to keep leads and contacts separate from each other, you will find that at some point, you will need to promote a lead to a contact. This promotion usually does not occur until after the lead has been qualified. The qualification process is used not only to confirm basic information about the individual, such as their e-mail address, but also identify potential revenue opportunities they may represent. Once an opportunity has been identified, they can be promoted to a contact, linked to an account, and an opportunity.
The good news is that nowadays most quality CRM systems, including SugarCRM, provide this customization capability through out-of-box functionality. Lead and opportunity management The next major differentiator between firms and their associated CRM implementations lies in the area of leads and opportunities. Leads are commonly recognized as an individual representing potential revenue, usually having demonstrated some level of interest in your products or services. They differ from contacts, as contacts are individuals who already have an established relationship with your business as a buying customer.
While this can include functions such as dashboard, fundamentally, sales force automation is an automated flow of sales leads into the CRM, their conversion into opportunities, and their tracking as a successful or unsuccessful conclusion. This includes features, such as the following: • Lead capture from a public website, or from partners • Promotion of a lead to an opportunity or contact after it has been qualified • Automatic e-mail notifications to sales people when a new lead or opportunity is assigned to them • Tracking of current and historical account activities against both contact and account profiles • Association of key documents to accounts and contacts, such as proposals, contracts and agreements, and marketing collateral A key improvement in productivity comes from automated lead capture into your CRM, from an information capture form on your public website, or from leads sent to you from a supplier or other partners.
