Accounts Management – Feature Guide

The accounts feature lets you manage all your B2B relationships through LeadSquared. Create accounts for all your partners, vendors, third-party services, etc., store all the data you need (account details, account owners, stages, etc.) and add and manage your leads under these different accounts.

Note: If you’re new to the accounts feature, Account Settings is the best place to start. This article talks about the Manage Accounts page and the various actions you can perform on it. Other related articles include –

 

Navigation
