Hi Himanshu,

Lead conversion in Salesforce is a process in which a lead record is converted into Accounts, Contacts & Opportunities. This happens when a lead is identified as a qualified Sales prospect.

When a lead is converted:
  • A contact, account & opportunity are created and populated with the lead’s data (unless otherwise specified during conversion).
  • The lead field “Converted” is changed from false to true.

Hi Himanshu,
Lead conversion is a process of converting your potential clients into current customers, in other words into accounts, contacts or opportunities.
