Keep Notes and Track Calls for your Lead

Lead notes can be used to keep track of interactions with a lead. For example, you can keep track of calls, conversations and meetings you have had with them, specific things you know they are looking for in a house, or anything else you can think of to help you identify where the leads stand in the sales or buying process.

To add a note to a lead, find them in your lead summary list by clicking on "Leads" in the main dashboard navigation and then clicking on their name.

When you arrive on their profile page, click the "Note" button in the top section of the page. You can now input your note, and once you click save, your new note will be visible in the "History" panel.

Set Tasks for yourself for a Lead

Tasks can be set automatically by a drip campaign (if they are part of the action plan), or you can click the 'Task' button in the top section to manually add a task / reminder.

All tasks are shown in your Follow Up list.
