Luminary Media Group needs to implement a tailored sales lifecycle for its new Custom Event Sponsorship division, which requires a unique sequence of opportunity stages compared to standard subscription sales. Which sequence of administrative steps must an administrator take to make these custom stages available only on sponsorship opportunities?
- Create the new stage values in the master Stage picklist field, create a new Sales Process selecting those stages, create a new Opportunity Record Type linked to the Sales Process, and assign the Record Type to user profiles.Answer
- BAssign the new stage values directly to a new Opportunity Record Type from the Object Manager picklist settings without creating a Sales Process.
- CCreate a custom Stage picklist field on the Lead object, map it to the standard Opportunity Stage field during Lead Conversion, and assign it to the profile layout.
- DCreate a new Sales Process containing the stage values and assign it directly to the user profile without creating an Opportunity Record Type.
Answer
Create the new stage values in the master Stage picklist field, create a new Sales Process selecting those stages, create a new Opportunity Record Type linked to the Sales Process, and assign the Record Type to user profiles.
To present a custom set of Opportunity Stages for a distinct sales channel, an administrator must complete a four-step administrative process: 1) Add any missing stage values to the master Stage picklist, 2) Create a Sales Process selecting the specific stages for that lifecycle, 3) Associate the Sales Process with a new Opportunity Record Type, and 4) Assign the Record Type to target user profiles. This guarantees that users working on sponsorship opportunities see only the relevant stages.
