- Growth - Product Qualified – to be used whenever the product is known to, approved by and possibly being used by the customer. Typically used for market penetration.
- Growth - Product Requiring Qualification – to be used whenever product testing (laboratory and/or industrial) and approval is needed before closing the deal. Typically used in innovation projects.
- Cross-BU Lead: an opportunity to share with another GBU/BU a business lead learned during an interaction with the market and that can potentially generate additional revenue for the Group.

Warning One must never pro-actively ask for or accept detailed information on specific competitors. It is possible to ask/receive general info on competing price levels or terms /conditions if this helps to make a competitive offer. Always report to Solvay's Legal Department if detailed information about a competitor's offer is received or if any organized information exchange via the customer is suspected.
