What Is Lead Management Software?

Lead management software collects enquiries from wherever they arrive, gives each one an owner, and tracks what happens until it is won or dropped. It replaces the inboxes, notebooks and spreadsheets where enquiries otherwise get lost.

What problem does it solve?

A business rarely gets its enquiries from one place. They come from marketplaces, ads, the website and the phone. When each sits somewhere different, three things go wrong: some are never answered, some are answered twice, and nobody can say which source is worth paying for.

How does it work?

• Capture: enquiries arrive by themselves from connected sources, or from a spreadsheet you import.
• Assign: each one gets an owner, by a rule or by hand.
• Follow up: attempts are recorded, and the next one is scheduled with a reminder.
• Report: managers see what is due, what was missed and what closed.

When does a business need it?

Usually when more than one person works the same list, or when enquiries come from more than one source. Until then, a well-kept spreadsheet can be enough.

What should you look for?

• Connections to the sources you actually use, such as IndiaMART, Justdial or Facebook Lead Ads.
• Automatic assignment, and a way to send repeat contacts back to the same person.
• Reminders that reach people on their phones.
• Calling and messaging from the record, so the history stays in one place.
• A way to get your data out again.
