Creating Campaigns for Incoming Leads

You define the sources of the different types of leads anticipated, by using the campaign feature.

If you plan to get leads directly from your web site, you can create a campaign sign up page and connect this page to your website.
You can also upload calling lists as leads into specific campaigns for follow-up.
This feature is only available if you are in a role with manager permission for Sales Tracking.
