Introduction
A Sales Opportunity is a qualified prospect with a high probability of becoming a customer. Salespeople should ensure the opportunity is a good fit for their selling. An opportunity should have a pain point your product or service can solve and an interest in the offering. Generally, an opportunity comes from one of two places:
- A lead, a potential customer,
- An existing customer who has done business with you and is returning for additional products or services
