Across different industries like real estate, insurance, and others, we\u2019ve seen teams that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Collect all new leads in a spreadsheet, go through the document together, then divide and conquer. OR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get one person to regularly check their lead generation sources (Facebook Lead Ads, Google Forms, etc). This person would then \u201cassign\u201d any new leads by emailing their contact details to different team members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share every new lead in their WhatsApp group, and whoever sees it first should reach out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of the above sounds familiar to you, then your lead assignment process might be causing your team to lose out on even the most qualified, ready-to-buy leads. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Manually assigning leads in a team breaks one of the most important rules in sales: you have to <strong>reach out to new leads as quickly as possible, ideally within 15 minutes of them submitting their contact details<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have to gather the lead information yourself, then forward their details to the right team member, it\u2019s incredibly difficult to reach out to new leads within the same day \u2013 let alone within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s how you cut down that layer of work that\u2019s preventing your team from getting in touch with new leads at the best time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to coordinate on new leads with your team using Privyr \u2013 with better speed and precision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Privyr is a CRM tool that integrates with most lead generation platforms like Facebook Lead Ads, Google Lead Ad Forms, and even your own website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you get a new lead, you\u2019ll immediately receive a Lead Alert on the Privyr app, and you\u2019ll be able to instantly access the lead details from your phone or laptop. No delays in trying to get the data out of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>More importantly, you can also <strong>automatically forward and assign the lead, along with their contact details, to your team members<\/strong>, based on the rules you\u2019ve configured. This is a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/help.privyr.com\/knowledge-base\/teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Privyr\u2019s Team features<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/help.privyr.com\/knowledge-base\/teams\/#inviting-team-members\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">added people to your team<\/a> on Privyr, there are a couple of ways to set up Automatic Lead Assignment Rules, depending on how your team prefers to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>From your <em>Lead Assignment Dashboard<\/em>, you can configure Privyr to <strong>automatically assign new leads from all Lead Sources to your team members in a round-robin distribution<\/strong>. Only the person who gets assigned will receive an alert about the new lead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Alternatively, you can <strong>leave new leads as unassigned<\/strong> so that whoever is available first can view and claim the leads. This is ideal if you want to make sure that the first outreach is always done as quickly as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create more <em>Advanced Lead Assignment Rules<\/em><strong> <\/strong>to <strong>ensure that leads coming from a specific Lead Source or criteria only get assigned to specific people<\/strong>. For example, leads generated from Facebook Lead Form A are only assigned to Team Member A \u2013&nbsp; but never Team Member B who should only be assigned leads from your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1021\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen.jpg\" alt=\"setting lead assignment rules in privyr\" class=\"wp-image-7365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen-87x67.jpg 87w, https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen-300x229@2x.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.privyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/privryr-team-lead-assignment-screen-87x67@2x.jpg 174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Suggested: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.privyr.com\/knowledge-base\/teams\/#automatic-lead-assignment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about Automatic Lead Assignment on Privyr here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>A more efficient Lead Assignment process can boost your sales \u2013 here\u2019s how.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By using automatic lead assignment tools instead of relying on huge shared spreadsheets, you can <strong>significantly reduce the time and effort it takes your team to connect with potential customers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want a lead to lose interest or go to your competitor simply because their contact details weren\u2019t extracted quickly enough or forwarded to the right team member fast enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using an app like Privyr <strong>removes the tedious steps of accessing your lead data and sharing them<\/strong>.
