Learn about how and when to create a lead in Workiz.

Updated over a week ago

In this article, you will learn how to create a lead in Workiz.

What is a lead?

In Workiz, a lead is considered a potential job — not a potential customer. A lead can be used to:

  • Store information for a potential job

  • Schedule an on-site visit to make a quote for a potential job

Leads are jobs that may or may not happen, and are best used to schedule quotes. If a lead doesn’t become converted into a job, it will have no impact on your job cancellation rate. This gives you a more accurate picture of how your business is performing when viewing your Job Statistics report in Workiz.
