convert lead default to create deal/potential

convert lead default to create deal/potential

100% of my leads that convert need to map to both a contact and a deal. Right now the convert screen default is to create only a contact but not a deal.  How do I set the checkbox to create a deal by default so I don't have to check that box every time?


Today I was in a hurry and failed to check the 'create deal' box. As a result the lead did not convert to a deal (only to a contact). Now I've lost data that was supposed to map to the Deal.  I have an email copy of all the data so I can manually create the deal but this is very inefficient.

thanks
