I’m building a marketing base that has 2 different tables:

1. Prospects. These users just signed up and left their email and name, only interested in joining a newsletter and receiving comms from our company.

Through emails sent to the prospects, we invite them to fill out a form to fully subscribe to our services by leaving a bunch of data about them. This is when a prospect turns into a Lead.

This table would have these fields:

• 
  

  email

  
  


• 
  

  name

  
  


• 
  

  agreed to join? (checkbox) → when checked, a lead is created.

  
  

2. Leads. Prospects that agreed to leave all their data.

This table would look like this:

• 
  

  email

  
  


• 
  

  name

  
  


• 
  

  data point 1

  
  


• 
  

  data point 2

  
  


• 
  

  data point n

  
  

Not all prospects turn into leads. Some never agree to join, so I guess it’s ok to keep them as separate tables.

My question is, wouldn’t it be a mistake to have 2 tables under the same base, where the main field of each record is the email?

Thanks!
