How to create leads

  • Updated

 

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.

    2. Team members

      You may only see techs who are available based on whether their skills and service areas are compatible with this job.

Submitting a new lead will automatically create a new client using the same details you just entered for the new lead.
