When you are creating/editing a contact or lead, there are many fields to add information to that help you keep track of the details you need. Use the list below to learn more about each field:
Full Name
Enter the contact's name.
Primary Email
Enter the contact's email address, and label the address as Personal, Work, or Other.
Primary Phone
Enter the contact's phone number, and label it as Home, Mobile, Work, or Other.
Lead Source Type and Lead Source
Label where the lead came from. This can be from an outside source, or from a contact in your database. Choose one of the options:
- Select from list - choose an outside lead source from the drop-down provided.
- Select from Contacts - start typing the contact's name and choose the contact from the drop-down.
Assignee and Lead Routing Options (Team Command Account Only)
The Assignee on a lead/contact, in the team Command account, has full access to edit, add notes/activities, add to SmartPlans, and create Opportunities for this lead/contact. That being said, only the lead/contact Owner can archive or delete.
- Select any team member from the drop-down.
- Send to Lead Routing - this will send the lead to the team's lead routing workflow. If there are no routes set up, it will go straight to the Lead Pool.
- Send to Lead Pool - the Lead Pool is where all team-owned, unassigned leads/contacts populate. No one on the team is assigned, so they are separate from the main team database. Any agent on the team can claim a lead/contact in the Lead Pool, which will make them the Assignee.
Collaborators (Team Command Account Only)
Add any number of team members as Collaborators on any lead/contact. Collaborators have view-only access to the lead/contact, with the ability to add notes.
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.
Tags
Tags are a way for you to organize your database. Use the drop-down, start typing the name of the tag, and select the tag from the results list. If this is a new tag, you will see a + Create Custom Tag option. Once you create the tag for one contact, you will be able to find it on the Custom Tags results list in the future.
