The Lead Sources Form allows you to define the Sources of Sales Leads that you want to be able to track.

Tracking Lead Sources is accomplished by recording the Lead Source within the Leads tab of the Prospect Form.

The Leads report will provide calculations by Lead Source, for which Salesperson received which Leads, and the number of Proposals and Invoices that resulted from those Leads.

The Leads Analysis report will provide a summary of how many Subscribers and Prospects are in the system as a result of each of these Lead Sources.

The Leads by Salesperson report will list all Subscribers and Prospects and the Lead Types and Lead Sources from which they were acquired.

 

The Lead Sources Form allows you to define any number of Descriptions representing Lead Source Categories.
