Converting a qualified lead turns it into a customer, and if you like a contact and a deal, in one step. Only an open lead can be converted; reopen a disqualified one first.

The lead always loses its person
Conversion always removes the person's name, email and phone from the lead. With a contact, they move to the new contact. Without one, they are deleted and kept nowhere. CRM warns you when you untick the contact: "Without a contact, the name, email and phone on this lead are removed when it is converted, and are not kept anywhere."
What conversion creates
- A new customer starts as Prospect.
- The new contact becomes the primary contact only if the company has none yet.
- The deal takes the lead's title and the first live step of the pipeline you chose.
- The lead becomes Converted, shows the customer it went to, and says "A deal was opened." if you made one. It can no longer be changed.
When conversion is refused
- "Choose a customer, or create a new one."
- "Reopen the lead before converting it."
- "An archived customer already holds this CVR, so a new customer cannot be created with it. It is now selected below: convert into it, or restore it from its page first."
- "A deal needs a pipeline with at least one step. Define one in Management first."
