Managing Leads

In CreataCRM, we have a Lead Tracking system that can act as a lead bucket, (for more experience CRM users) the difference from us to older methods of CRM's lead tracking is we start by Creating a Customer (Company or Contact first), and then enable them to go into the lead bucket, this prevents us from copy leads from one section to another, lossing important data for reports. While others create a seperate lead bucket first, and then copy data across. We have seem from our experience this became very cumbersome and many reports so we prefer not to do this . So if we create new Customer, you just need to enable them into a lead
