Step Five – Start Tracking an Opportunity
Now that Jane has configured Prophet and organized her contacts, she is ready to begin tracking new opportunities with Outlook and Prophet 2004 – here’s an example.
The Lead:
Jane gets a call from Mark Sexton regarding his need to find a duplex as an investment property. Jane finds out that Mark was referred by another client and is interested in finding something in the $300,000 - $400,000 range.
Next Steps:
1.   Jane adds a new contact to Prophet 2004 for Mark Sexton. As part of the profile, she adds him to the New Client and Investment Property categories which she created in the Master Category list (click on the Categories button to locate the Master Category list button). The contact profile looks like this:
2.   Once the contact is created, Jane generates the sales opportunity by selecting Mark Sexton (by clicking on his name ONCE) in the List View window, then clicking on the down arrow next to New on the Prophet toolbar and selecting Opportunity.
3.   Jane fills in the information in the opportunity window for the duplex and puts him at the introduction stage with a 60% probability of close. She inserts notes on who referred him as well as specifics about the type of property he is interested in.
4.   She also adds in the product group and product he is interested in by clicking on the Product/Services tab and selecting the multiplex category and the $300,000 - $400,000 range.
5.   If Jane was working with a number of agents who assisted her with the opportunity, she could also assign the sales opportunity to whomever by clicking on the Opportunity Account Reps tab and selecting the Edit Reps List button.
Next Step – Update and Close Out the Sales Opportunity
