You can record the qualification information received from your prospect against the opportunity by using a sample Opportunity workflow available in Sage CRM.

The predefined Quick Sale Workflow doesn't include a qualification step because it represents a shorter sales process and has fewer workflow options. For more information, see Quick Sale Workflow.
