Tracking Leads is accomplished by first recording the Lead Type in the Leads tab of the Prospect Form.

The Leads report will provide calculations by Lead Type, 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 the Lead Types.

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 Types Form allows you to define any number of Descriptions representing the Types of Leads that will be tracked.
