Sales Lead
Short definition
Sales Lead: A potential customer or enquiry that still needs to be qualified.
Meaning and how it works
A lead represents potential interest, not a completed purchase or necessarily a qualified sales opportunity. Integration brings together customer records, telephony events and business workflows. Correct operation depends on consistent identifiers, synchronisation rules and permissions.
Business applications
- Business scenario:
A website enquiry creates a lead in the CRM for a salesperson to qualify before making an offer.
What to check before implementation
Test API failures, duplicate events, mandatory fields and recovery after temporary outages. Avoid exposing customer data unintentionally.
