            • Set Up and Customize Opportunity Contact Roles
              Opportunity contact roles let your sales team know who to contact and when for each deal. In Lightning Experience, you can give your sales reps even more insight into their opportunity contacts by customizing the opportunity contact role object.
            • Add and Manage Opportunity Contact Roles
              To specify the part that each contact plays in a deal, add contact roles to your opportunities. For example, at AW Computing, Mary Smith evaluates all proposals and then forwards them to Tom Jones for a final decision. In the opportunity record for AW Computing, you designate Mary Smith as the Evaluator and Tom Jones as the Decision Maker. Then, you know who to contact first.
