Odoo CRM allows you to manually add contacts into your pipeline. It can
|
|
|
|
be either a lead or an opportunity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activate the lead stage
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the lead stage is not activated in Odoo CRM. To activate it,
|
2016-07-05 06:19:22 +07:00
|
|
|
go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings`, select the option ""use leads
|
2015-09-29 22:31:16 +07:00
|
|
|
if…** as shown below and click on **Apply**.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This activation will create a new submenu **Leads** under
|
|
|
|
**Sales** that gives you access to a list of all your leads from
|
|
|
|
which you will be able to create a new contact.

|
|
Create a new lead
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Leads` and click the **Create** button.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the contact form, provide all the details in your possession
|
|
|
|
(contact name, email, phone, address, etc.) as well as some additional
|
|
|
|
information in the **Internal notes** field. You can also link the
|
|
|
|
lead to an existing company by editing the**Customer** field. Click
|
|
|
|
on save and the contact will be visible as a lead in your pipeline .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
your lead can be directly handed over to specific sales team and salesperson
|
|
|
|
by clicking on **Convert to Opportunity** on the upper left corner of the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new opportunity
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also directly add a contact into a specific sales team without
|
|
|
|
having to convert the lead first. On the Sales module, go to your
|
|
|
|
dashboard and click on the **Pipeline** button of the desired sales
|
2015-10-20 20:11:49 +07:00
|
|
|
team. If you don't have any sales team yet, :doc:`you need to create one first <../../salesteam/setup/create_team>`.
|
2015-09-29 22:31:16 +07:00
|
|
|
Then, click on **Create** and fill in the contact details as shown here
|
|
|
|
above. By default, the newly created opportunity will appear on the
|
|
|
|
first stage of your sales pipeline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another way to create an opportunity is by adding it directly on a
|
|
|
|
specific stage. For example, if you have have spoken to Mr. Smith at a
|
|
|
|
meeting and you want to send him a quotation right away, you can add his
|
|
|
|
contact details on the fly directly into the **Proposition** stage. From
|
|
|
|
the Kanban view of your sales team, just click on the **+** icon
|
|
|
|
at the right of your stage to create the contact. The new opportunity
|
|
|
|
will then pop up into the corresponding stage and you can then fill in
|
|
|
|
the contact details by clicking on it.
