Remember
- In H-Office, a prospect is someone identified as having the potential to become a customer or vendor but hasn't yet shown specific interest. Differentiating prospects from leads is crucial: leads have expressed interest, while prospects are still being nurtured.
- You might see alternative labels like "Potential Customer" or "Potential Vendor" in H-Office, depending on your organization’s preferences. Properly categorizing and managing prospects helps streamline your sales and marketing efforts, ensuring targeted engagement and effective follow-up.
