Purpose: The purpose of creating an opportunity for a customer/work is to formalise and manage potential prospects or business interactions. It allows businesses to track and manage potential deals, sales leads, or customer projects more effectively. It also helps streamline the process, set clear objectives, and ensure follow-ups, ultimately improving sales and customer relationship management.
Please note:
- Opportunities can only be created against a Customer or Work address.
- You must have at least one Job description template.
- You must have at least one Labour rate.
- Opportunity expiration feature will be available only in 'sales growth plan'. If you opt for 'starter plan', then this option will not be available.
