Qualifying Leads


A qualified lead is one that has been accepted, retired, or rejected. To accept a lead means that a sales person can continue to work with the lead, with the objective of converting it to an opportunity. To retire a lead is to designate it as not being a lead at all. A retired lead can be archived for future reference. To reject a lead means that it will be assigned to someone else. Changes in lead status are tracked in the Lead Status field and its associated date fields.

This task is a step in Process of Creating, Modifying, and Qualifying Leads.
