Adding a new lead

To open the Lead manager: From the Contacts menu, click Leads.

In some cases you may want to add a lead manually. For example you may have phone enquiries regarding listing ads in a newspaper. You can enter these new leads in the Lead manager to isolate them from the rest of your contacts until you have followed up with them.

Note:  Creating a lead requires a minimum of a first or last name, and a phone number or email address.

To enter a new lead

  1. From the Lead manager, click the Add new lead action menu item.

  2. From the Source dialog box, select the Source of the lead.

  3. Tip:  Adding the lead's source will help you determine which lead generating methods are bringing in the most leads.

  4. Click OK.

  5. From the Detailed contact entry - Add new contact page, enter the lead's information. For more information, see "Adding a new contact".

  6. Click OK.

  7. The contact will appear in the Lead manager, ready for follow-up or to have an action plan applied.
