Create a Cross BU Lead

David opens the account for which he wants to create a Cross BU Lead.

In the first section Information, David enters a Lead Name.

David clicks on the lookup icon and searches for his GBU to set it as GBU Initiating the lead. Once he finds it, he clicks on the GBU name.

On the left side of the section, David links the Cross BU Lead to the opportunity and to the visit report he previously created. 

 

 

These links are not mandatory, but it’s really helpful when consulting the visit report or the opportunity!

Once David links the Cross BU Lead to the 2 records, he can start filling in the details of the Cross BU Lead.

David defines to which GBU this lead must be addressed and details the context. He then clicks on Save.

 

 

In this big empty field, David can use rich text like bold, underlined, bullets, etc. to elaborate the description. Useful!

 

David has now finished.
Thanks for sharing this lead David!
