Capture Sales Activities

1. Feature Overview

The Sales Activity feature lets you capture important information related to each sale (e.g., product sold, sales owner, date, order value, etc.). Depending on the nature of the business the Sales Activities are also known as Customer Sign-up, Order Capture, Purchase Order, Paid Subscription, New Registration, Enrollment, New Deal, etc.

These activities sum up to give you the total Revenue generated which can be tracked and analysed using the Sales and Revenue Reports and the LeadSquared Goals feature.

Note: This article describes how users (typically sales users and sales managers) can post sales activities on leads. To configure sales activities to reflect your business requirements, Admins can refer to Sales Activity Management.
