Updated for Synergist 12.5
Note: Users who are changing from the desktop UI of Synergist will notice some differences in the interface with the Web/Cloud UI. In the Web/Cloud UI, leads are organization based and do not require a contact record.
A client (Organization) record can be set one of three main statuses:
- Lead: A lead is a potential client. At this status, no final vetting has been completed, so no opportunities are allowed to be created for this organization until it has been promoted to a Prospect. However, ‘Activities’ can be created for Leads.
- Prospect: Similar to a Lead but the organization has been qualified and it is therefore possible to create opportunities (‘Quote’ status jobs) and quote documents. It may be possible to even post costs to an opportunity – this is dependent on company settings.
- Client: Once promoted to a Client, live jobs can be created for this organization.

Deadening a Lead
You can also deaden a lead and if required resurrect a deadened lead. When doing this process you have the opportunity to select a sales status:
