The BPLC ToolThe BPLC Tool
Accepting or Rejecting OpportunitiesAccepting or Rejecting Opportunities Partners will initially evaluate opportunities in the system
based on the following information: Opportunity Description Customer City Customer Postal Code Revenue Estimate
Contact information is not displayed until after an opportunity is accepted or claimed. This prevents two partners from accidentally contacting the
same customer. Once partner accepts, they can see all information
associated with the opportunity, including contact info and opportunity notes.
The system sets a maximum number of opportunities that each partner can have open at any one time – so one partner cannot take them all.
