Add the lead name “Design Software” and enter a percentage in the Probability area, as indicated in the screenshot below.

After choosing them, you may examine the customer’s related Company Name and Address right away.

In the Website section, you may add the contact details for a website and choose your salesperson for the lead. Next, choose your lead team in the Sales Team section, as indicated in the screenshot below.

Users can mark a lead as the prior one by checking the star icon in the Priority field and adding any pertinent tags, as demonstrated in the example above. Once entered, each piece of data is saved in the Leads window. We can view the created lead in the main Leads window, as shown in the screenshot below.

Users can import a variety of files, including contacts, bank statements, journal entries, and more, into Odoo ERP. Several lead types can be simply imported for commercial use in the Odoo 17 CRM module.
