Prospects are potential Customer Accounts. The system allows you to maintain information on Prospects—and then, when the time is right, it enables you to convert Prospect Accounts to Customer Accounts.
Here are some tips for using this screen:
Use the right-click menu to edit a Prospect in the list.
To convert a Prospect to a Customer, simply select the "Customer" button on the Prospect's CRM Account. This will prompt you to convert the Prospect information—and also give you the chance to convert any existing Prospect Quotes to Customer Quotes.
When exporting information, be sure to activate all the column headers you want to include in your export file. Many of these columns may be hidden by default.
Build Customer reports using the search filters.
