3 Basic Sales Terminologies.


Account: Name of the corporate, governmental or non-profit organization e.g. Microsoft Singapore Contact: Name of the person(s) in the organization you encountered.

Lead: Name of the person(s) in the organisation you encountered. However, it differs from contact as in this case, there is no formal contract signed with the leads organisation for a formal working relationship.
A lead is usually someone you met during networking event whom you have not yet arranged for a company meeting or one who has no interest in partnering at present but with potential in the future.
