What happens to a job contract when it is converted from a lead?

When a job contract is converted from a lead, it typically utilizes the approved proposal. This means that the details, terms, and pricing outlined in the proposal are transferred directly into the job contract, streamlining the process and ensuring that the terms agreed upon with the client are honored. It reflects the transition from an initial interest (the lead) to an actionable agreement that can move forward into the project execution phase. The approved proposal serves as the foundation for the contract, ensuring clarity and consistency in what has been agreed upon by both parties.

In contrast, the other options provide scenarios that do not occur when converting a lead to a contract. For instance, re-estimation would imply that there needs to be significant changes to the costs or requirements, which is not the standard procedure when an approved proposal is already in place. Automatic cancellation of the contract does not make sense in this context, as converting a lead to a contract signifies a progression rather than a termination. Lastly, claiming the contract cannot be converted contradicts the whole purpose of the conversion process, which aims to formalize the agreement based on the lead’s proposal. Thus, the option that states it uses the approved proposal accurately describes the intended mechanism during this transition.
