The simplest way of creating a lead is to type it in. This is the method you would use for business cards, paper, request for information etc.
 
1. Click the '''My Leads''' tab.
 
2. Click the '''New Lead''' tab.
 
The duplicate checking window is displayed.

If no similar leads are located in the system, the '''New Lead''' page is displayed.

You use this page to setup and manage the lead.
 
5. Complete the details of the lead.
 
* Set the lead status from the '''Status''' combo box. The default status for a new lead is not contacted. When you first contact the lead you will change the status.

* The '''campaign''' box is used to context a lead to a specific lead generation process, perhaps a trade show, marketing activity, or your own name. This list will change from time to time as new marketing activities are undertaken.
