What is a Sales Lead Management?

Sales lead management is one of many sales techniques packed into pipeline management. The foundation of your lead management is a sales lead:
What is a Sales Lead?
A sales lead is a contact or an account with very little information. It could be just a person who you might have met at a conference. You will need to retrieve more information regarding this lead in order to create (qualify) an opportunity in your sales pipeline. A old sales rule says:
If you have never contacted your contact, it’s a lead.
From the data point of view, your lead should contain just simple information such as name or phone number. After your first cold call with the prospect, you should be knowing if they’re a good fit and qualify it into the opportunity. Here is the step when you need to decide if the lead is ready to be qualified into the opportunity.
But what is the difference between a lead and an opportunity? See below.
What is a difference between a lead and an opportunity?
Think about the difference between a lead and an opportunity as an evolving process i.e. each lead needs to be qualified to an opportunity. The sales opportunity is the person you have already contacted, called or met him and know their needs or requirements. The opportunity is a deal that you have the possibility to close!
