You can enter new leads/contacts and search for existing ones. You can also run queries on lead/contact statuses and track lead/contact activities.

You can link a lead/contact record to multiple related leads/contacts. In addition, you can view opportunities and contracts associated with the lead/contact in any of the companies you have access to regardless of the company you are logged into.
