Select Owner
When you are on a team, you have the ability to give ownership of a lead or contact to your team. Team contacts and leads can be claimed, assigned, and released. Rainmakers also have the ability to send a new lead through lead routing. If you are a solo agent, you can skip this field. If you are on a team, select either your team's name or yourself.
Mark as Lead
Checking this box will indicate that this is a lead. Unchecking this box, in the future, will convert the lead to a contact.
- Leads are people you have contact information for, but haven't connected with yet. Communication is one-way, offer-based, and focused on getting a response and beginning a relationship.
Send to Lead Routing (Teams)
If you are on a team, you have the option to send a new lead through lead routing. First, you must check the "Mark as Lead" checkbox to unlock this checkbox, then check Send to Lead Routing. To make this work, you also have to give the lead a Lead Source. Without a lead source, the lead will not be routed. Once you click Create, the lead will be routed through the routes that you have set up.
