Contacting the Customer in CRM

All opportunities that are in the Contact stage can been seen through the Pipeline screen in CRM.

Initial contact can be made with a customer via phone, email, or CRM Chat.

For further details on communicating with the customer through out the life of the opportunity see the article How to Use the CRM Chat Feature.

  Tip: When the customer is contacted via CRM Chat the opportunity will automatically be advanced to the next stage. If the customer is initially contacted through any other method the opportunity card will have to be manually advanced to the next stage.
