Work with lead in CRM

A lead is one of the basic elements of CRM. It is a potential client for your products or services.

In the b2b market, leads are customers with whom your employees have just arranged a first meeting, but they have not sent a commercial offer or made a presentation.
In the b2c market, customers who have called your company can be considered as a lead.

Leads are important for companies that work with a large number of customers. If you actively advertise, set up KPIs for the quantity and quality of customers you attract, calculate conversion rates, and several departments work with customers at once, then you need leads.

Check if leads are available on your plan. You can find all the information about Bitrix24 plans on the pricing page.

We have provided two modes of CRM:

  • Simple - this mode is suitable for small sales departments. There are no leads, only deals and contacts.
  • Classic - there are leads, deals and contacts in this mode.
