I am planning out my workflow from Opportunity to Deal. The way my flow works it would really make sense to have what is now a Lead module be the Opportunity module until the 'deal' is closed at which point it should become a Deal. However the Deal module is really setup to be an opportunity module.

Since the CRM won't allow me to switch the names completely I would like to uses the Stage field in Leads until it moves to the Stage moves to Closed Won at which point I would want to use the Deal as the parent for next steps. Ideally the Deal would be a combination of Deal information, with Project and Campaign elements.

Since this is either not possible or would require me to pay someone to create this is there a way to move the Stage field to the Lead module?

I'm sorry for any confusion.
