Accounts & Leads
In many CRM systems, you will find Accounts and Leads separate. To us, a lead is as important as an account (customer or business). The reason they do this is it allows you to keep them separate from a developer standpoint easily. From the CRM user perspective, we have found that it adds a complexity layer that isn't needed. Whenever you see us talking about Accounts, we are equally talking about Leads.
Accounts are your electronic Rolodex that keeps complete track of:
- the business
- their address
- unique users (employees), you interact with
- services provided
- related documents
