When a returning customer reaches out to make an additional purchase, Bitrix24 generates a new lead or deal, identifying it as a repeat deal.

Any lead associated with an existing contact or company is classified as a repeat sale.

Repeat leads are generated for all completed leads, regardless of whether they were successful or not. However, you have the option to add specific contacts to an exception list, ensuring that repeat leads are not created for them.

Exceptions

If you have converted repeat leads into deals, but none of these deals have been successfully closed, they will all be considered as repeat inquiries.

When a customer makes a purchase, the deal is successfully completed. Any subsequent deals with this customer will be classified as repeat deals.

If you use Simple CRM mode (without leads), repeat deals will be created instead of repeat leads.
