Lead Record. In Salesforce, leads are defined as prospects, or potential customers —
people that you hope to do business with. Perhaps you met them at a trade show or
they filled out a form on your website, but they are not yet customers.
Converting Leads
Once you’ve qualified that a lead is interested in buying your
products and is an active sales opportunity, that’s when you
convert them. By converting the lead, you create a contact,
account, and a sales opportunity.

information that you track directly
