Create Opportunity

An opportunity is the second step of the sales process.  Although sometimes you’ll start the process of a new sale by creating an opportunity, usually you want to convert a lead into an opportunity. If you haven’t taken a look at the Leads App yet, head over the  Leads App Quick Start Guide to get started with sales force automation. There are still scenarios where you want to create an opportunity without a sales lead first.  This will happen if you are working with an existing customer, or you are very confident the deal is likely to proceed forward.
