Creating a Global Action specifically for lead conversion enables sales reps to convert leads directly from the Salesforce mobile app. This approach provides a seamless experience that leverages native Salesforce functionality, without the need for additional installations or configurations. By setting up a Global Action, the consultant ensures that lead conversion is accessible on the go, which is ideal for Cloud Kicks' traveling sales team.
While enabling conversions in Lead Conversion settings provides configuration options, it does not by itself create mobile access. AppExchange solutions are useful but often introduce additional overhead and are unnecessary when native Salesforce functionality meets the requirement.
