Leads
A lead stage is an additional stage before becoming an opportunity. It’s a feature
that lets you distinguish qualified opportunities —like people who contact your company
directly and ask for a quote— from those who might potentially be interested in your
business, such as people who visit your website, follow you on social media, or
subscribe to your newsletter.
Once their interest grows enough, they are assigned to the appropriate teams and
salespersons, who convert them into opportunities and send them into the sales
pipeline.

Predictive Lead Scoring
Odoo's Predictive Lead Scoring feature is a powerful tool designed to help businesses
prioritize their leads based on their likelihood of resulting in sales.
The feature utilizes historical data from the company's CRM to accurately calculate the
probability of winning each opportunity.
By doing so, businesses can focus on the most promising leads, increasing the chances
of generating more qualified leads, wins, and revenue.
Use the data from https://demo.odoo.com to answer Start over by clicking Restart on the homepage!

7. Let’s demonstrate how cool that feature is. Create and assign a new opportunity to
the “Pre-Sales” sales team. Take note of the success rate, and mark the opportunity as
“won .” Repeat a few times, and note the probability each time. What happens to this
percentage as you create new opportunities?
I don’t know how to assign an opportunity to a sales team.

There is no consistency between the percentages.
The percentage of success increases to get closer to 100%
Tip: The success rates are calculated based on the history of your wins and losses and
depend on the fields selected in the Predictive Lead Scoring setting.
