The goal is to be available, approachable, knowledgeable, and prepared when a homeowner expresses interest. All opportunities generated while working inside Lowe's must be submitted and tracked through the approved Lowe's system. Lowe's opportunities are company-generated leads and are not considered personal or self-generated appointments. 4.
