What is a sales opportunity?

A sales opportunity is a contact or an account which has been qualified. This person has entered into your sales cycle and is committed to working with you. You have already contacted, called or met him and know their needs or requirements. The old sales rule says: “The opportunity is a deal that you have the possibility to close!”

The opportunity or a deal is a foundation of each sale you are working on. If you are in the business of selling you are probably using a sales process to guide your sales activities through to the sale. This process can be called as a sales pipeline management or opportunity pipeline management. Let me explain it in more details below.
