What you'll do

Customers → Lead Management is a board of columns (stages) with a card per lead. The tiles above it count New This Week, Pipeline Value, Stale Leads, Won This Month, and Lost This Month.

Do this

  1. 1

    Set up stages once

    Press Stages to name and color your columns (for example New, Contacted, Estimate Sent, Won, Lost). Every lead sits in exactly one stage.

  2. 2

    Add leads

    Add New Lead opens the form (name, contact, source, requested service, deal size, stage, follow-up date, next action, notes). Import brings in a CSV. Web-form requests arrive on their own.

  3. 3

    Move leads

    Drag a card to another column, or open the card and change the stage. Moving to Won or Lost updates the month's counters.

  4. 4

    Use saved views

    All Leads, Needs Follow-Up (follow-up date reached), Hot Leads, This Week, Stale (No activity 7+ days badge), Won, Lost, Unassigned. The board and table icons switch layouts.

  5. 5

    Record the next move

    Every card should have a follow-up date or next action; the card tells you when it has gone quiet.

  6. 6

    Convert

    Open a won lead and Convert to customer; the contact and address become a customer record and you can quote immediately.
