By | March 11, 2020

As we know every new version of Sage CRM is coming with many features which makes our business process trouble free. In Sage CRM we can add multiple records for all entities in which contact information of customer is added. Lead entity is mostly use to add new leads records, which is very important for business purpose.

At time of creating new lead Company name, person name and email address is added. Most of the time there Personal email ID and business email ID is identical, because this duplicate records are created in CRM. It’s created so many confusions to take follow up from the leads or many transactions in which email ID of company or person is used process for both records. Also after the lead progress its company and person also created in Sage CRM.
