Reclassify from a Deal to a Lead

Hello:

We have several Deals in our Deal Pipeline that are not qualified well enough to be in the Deal Pipleine. How can I reclassify a Deal to a Lead?

Thanks!

Jeff

Hi @JSchmitz2,

There is no default feature for converting a deal back into a lead - you would have to create new leads in this case.

Your best option is likely a contact based workflow that enrolls contacts associated to those affected deals, them uses the ‘Create record’ action to create leads.

Best regards!

Thank you!

@JSchmitz2 Unfortunately, converting a deal into a lead is impossible. However, as a temporary measure, you can add a Deal Stage and call it “In Qualificaton”, for example. Thus, you will know these deals are not fully qualified yet, as they are located at this “pre-sales stage.”

Karsten, there were not enough Deals to create a workflow. I manually deleted and created new leads. Your suggestion did give me an idea though. Can you provide an example of workflow that creates a Lead when a contact clicks on one of our marketing emails?

@JSchmitz2 sure, enroll contacts based on ‘When filter criteria is met’ and filter for ‘Last marketing email click date’ (for example is less than 1 day ago), them use the ‘Create record’ action to create a lead.

Please also mark my earlier reply as a solution if you found it helpful or think it could help others in a similar situation. Thank you!

I would like to a workflow to create a Lead when a Contact opens the email from one of our marketing campaigns.
