    Default Re: difference between opportunity & lead

    Lead: a person / company which is interested on some business of yours. You are trying to sell him something.
    Opportunity: A Sale for some Account.
    When you convert a Lead to a Contact you can choose creating an Account and Opportunity as well.
    So Lead defines a "possible" Sale for a Contact and a Company.
