Target your leads based on a set of criteria such as the country, the size of the company, the industry your leads are coming from to make them relevant to your business.

criteria, such as the country, the company size, and the industry.

For this feature to work, go to :menuselection:`CRM --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate the **Lead Mining** feature.
