Loving the new Leads tab - about time. I was just about to create two pipelines to separate my sales function into warming up leads and those converting that warmed up lead into a client!
I have got hundreds, no probably thousands, of Deals that I want to move to be Leads.
I reached out to support and was told:
1-Export them all to an excel file.
2-Delete them from Pipedrive.
3-Re-import them to Pipedrive as Leadshttps://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000797525-How-can-I-export-data-from-Pipedrive-
This not only is a big job for me (which I don't have capacity do now - I need to be focussed), but it will also orphan any activities that sit against those Deals right now, which I would later have to manually link up - a huge task.
Could I therefore ask if the developers can create a "CONVERT TO LEAD" option - this would show up in the Deals list, and against an individual Deal.
It would not only convert the Deal to a Lead, but it would retain the activity against that Deal.
