Every company is unique, but all companies want to find, sell to, and keep customers. Salesforce has the tools you need to grow your pipeline and make more sales.
Salesforce features designed to support your sales process include leads, campaigns, products, pricebooks, opportunities, and quotes. In this section, we’ll learn about leads and opportunities. You can use opportunities alone, or you can enhance your opportunities by using them along with leads.
Please refer to the below link on a quick idea

Setting up a sales process:
You might sell different items using different processes. You must set up at least one sales process in Salesforce, but you can set up additional processes to match how your business actually works.
- From Setup, click Customize | Opportunities | Sales Processes.
- Click New.
- To create the first new process for your organization, create a Master process.
- Give your sales process a unique but descriptive name. For example, Retail Sales.
- Optionally, add a description.
- By default, all stages are included in a new process. Remove stages you don’t want to include by clicking the stage name in the Selected Values area, and then clicking the Remove arrow to move the unwanted stage to the Available Values area. For example, if you qualify all leads before converting leads to opportunities, remove Qualification from the selected values.
- Click Save.
