Lead Record. In Salesforce, leads are defined as prospects, or potential customers — people that you hope to do business with. Perhaps you met them at a trade show or they filled out a form on your website, but they are not yet customers.

Converting Leads Once you’ve qualified that a lead is interested in buying your products and is an active sales opportunity, that’s when you convert them. By converting the lead, you create a contact, account, and a sales opportunity.
