Managing Your Purchased Leads

Quick Answer

Your purchased leads appear permanently in the Purchased tab with full contact information accessible anytime. Best practices include contacting within 2 hours, using multiple communication channels, tracking conversion status, and following up persistently. Organize purchased leads using search and filters, export to your CRM regularly, and monitor ROI through the Analytics tab. Remember that purchased lead information never expires, but client interest decreases rapidly without quick response.

Overview

Successfully managing purchased leads requires systematic organization, rapid response protocols, and consistent follow-up strategies. Your Purchased tab serves as a permanent repository of all lead investments, providing continuous access to contact information and enabling long-term relationship building. Understanding how to effectively manage these leads directly impacts your conversion rates and ROI.
