Leads
In Dynamics 365 Sales, you use leads to keep track of business prospects that you haven't yet qualified through your sales process. A lead can be an existing client or someone you've never done business with before. You might get leads from different sources, such as advertising, networking, or email campaigns.

Einen Lead qualifizieren in eine Verkaufschance konvertieren
Does your lead have what you are looking for? Once you have identified the timeframe, budget, buying process, and decision maker for the sale, it's time to qualify the lead.
Use the Qualify button for this. Depending on how much information you have already collected in the lead, for example, the assignment to an existing account or to a contact (see section Creating or editing a lead), you have to add more information in the following dialog box.
