2. Easily create multiple product lines

The app allows you to qualify leads by giving you the option to create an account, a contact, or an opportunity. This allows your sales representatives to qualify prospects and move quickly to the next stage of the sales cycle. They will also be able to sort them by account, contact, and/or opportunity. It all depends on the settings configured by the administrator for the lead generation experience.
