Lead management guide

Good lead routing helps a prospect reach someone equipped to respond. The rules should be understandable to the team and easy to adjust as schedules and agency capacity change.

Start with the reader’s real question

Route by line of business, state licensing, service area, and current availability where relevant. Add a fallback owner for unanswered assignments and notify the team when a record remains unclaimed.

Build a process your agency can maintain

Do not assign work based on protected characteristics or assumptions about a customer. Confirm that staff are properly authorized to handle the inquiry and follow applicable privacy rules.

Put the guidance into practice

Map current handoffs and identify where inquiries wait. Start with one routing rule, measure time to first response, and review exceptions before adding complexity.
