An opportunity is a potential deal with one of your accounts. Every opportunity belongs to exactly one account, so create the account first if it does not exist yet.

Create an opportunity

  1. Open Opportunities in the sidebar and click Create Opportunity. You can also use Create Opportunity under Quick Actions on the Dashboard, or Add Opportunity on an account page.
  2. Enter the Opportunity Name, choose the Account, and enter the Deal Value ($). These three are required.
  3. Optionally set Probability (%) (0–100, starts at 0), Stage (starts at Discovery), Close Date, and Owner.
  4. Click Create Opportunity. You are taken to the new opportunity's page.
