Create Your First Customer or Lead
Your CRM is where people you do business with live. Adding a lead or customer shows how a single record connects sales, delivery, support, and reporting — with nothing re-entered.
#Lead vs customer
- A lead is a potential customer you are still working to win.
- A customer is someone you are already doing business with.
A lead becomes a customer as the relationship progresses — the same record carries forward.
#Where CRM fits
1
Lead added
A new contact enters CRM.
2
Sales follow-up
Assigned and nurtured.
3
Project handoff
Won work becomes a project.
4
Support history
Questions tracked over time.
5
Reporting
Activity reflected in reports.
One record, many departments
The customer you add here is the same record used in projects, support, and reports. That connection is what makes a Business Operating System different from separate tools.
