However, accounts can also contain other types of records including prospects, vendors, business partners, and other organizations that interact with your organization. Since Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a customer engagement solution, this is where customers would reside in your database. A contact can be marked as the primary contact person for an account.Īccounts are organizations with which you have a relationship.A contact can have only one account as its parent.A contact can be a parent to every other entity except accounts and contacts.Normally Contact records are created for individual persons but account are created for organizations. A contact gets automatically created after a Lead is Qualified, which creates an opportunity record also in the system.Ĭontacts integrate with the contacts in Microsoft Outlook, so it is important to understand that when fields on the contact record are updated, that change may synchronize to Outlook for one or more users depending on synchronization settings. We can create a Contact in the system independently or through a Lead Qualification process. Often contacts are related to an account, but certain organizations and businesses may serve or sell to individual consumers, and so most of the contacts will not be under accounts. Contact SetupĬontacts are individual people with whom you have a relationship, generally customers or contacts of customers. Lead is an Out-of-the-box entity which allows to store lead information so we can use it or skip it depending our business requirement. Some organization do not follow this Lead creation process rather they directly use creation of opportunity record in the system to start the sales life cycle so honestly it depends how we want to organize our sales data.
But system store this information for future campaigns as a future prospect. When a Lead gets Disqualified the system stops the sales process. All Qualified Leads automatically create a default contact and an opportunity record in the system. Microsoft Dynamics 365 stores these follow-up activities records as activities record (Email, Task, Meetings, Appointment) in the system. to capture more information about the Lead’s interest on the product or service and to proceed with the next process called Lead Qualification/ Dis-Qualification.
