In addition to lead tracking, Blitz has the ability to track sales opportunities, and can group, filter, and sort them using any criteria you choose. This tool is often used to gauge which lead sources, products, or employees are generating the most sales within your company.

A sales opportunity arises when the potential customer is contacted and quoted. To record this information, choose the Opportunities tab within the Lead Log and click Add New Record. Fill in the available fields and click Save New Opportunity. The status of the opportunity is defaulted at pending, and can be changed to won or lost when that time comes.

But once this information is saved, what can you do with it? By viewing the Opportunities List, it can be grouped to determine various amounts to help you adjust your business plan. To find this list, click on the Leads tab, and choose Opportunities.
