How to Create an Opportunity on a Lead

Overview

An opportunity is commonly defined as a sales qualified lead that a sales representative has communicated with and believes has a legitimate chance at becoming a customer.

If your supplier has opportunities enabled, you can create opportunities from leads within the platform. This notifies the supplier that you are working with a particular company and should receive compensation for it.
