Adding Prospects into OnRent is easy! Prospects are organisations or individuals who could be potential Suppliers, Partners, Customers, Contractors or Resources. 

Create a Prospect to store contact information enabling the creation of quotations and activities whilst you engage with them. 

There's a few ways you can create prospects:

To add a new Prospect, go to Customers > Accounts > Add Account.

Mark the type as Prospect to flag this account as a Prospect.
​
Once you have finished click the Green Add Account button. 

The following is applied to Prospects.

You can convert a Prospect to another Account Type at any time, this could be after relevant credit checks have been carried out or they have confirmed they would like to go ahead with the Quotation.
​

To convert a Prospect, change the Account Type from being a Prospect to the Account Type desired and click Update Account.

Do I need to give an account number to a prospect?

No, account numbers are optional and you likely won’t assign one until the prospect becomes a customer, so you can just enter their account name for now.

Can I log activities against a prospect?

Yes, you can create quotes and also log activities like demos or follow up calls etc. Don’t forget you can also create contacts for the prospect as well.

If I lose the prospect, can I still keep their records on my system?

Provided you comply with GDPR laws, OnRent will not force you to delete anything so it’s up to you to decide whether lost prospects should remain on your system.
