Lead Record Details
Specify which details you want to populate in new Sales Records every time an individual lead fills out the Lead Form.
See below for more on each detail:
| Lead Record Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Record Type |
Individual leads are stored as Sales Records in AMS+. Sales Records are defined and segmented into different lead categories by Record Type, which are based on the agency’s business processes. Lead, Renewals, and Medicare are examples of commonly used Record Types. Learn more about Record Types. |
| Lead Source | Set the lead source for new Sales Records. If you want to automate follow-up tasks and emails, you can create Sales Workflows that trigger based on the lead source. |
| Servicing Agent | Optionally set the servicing agent for new Sales Records. Please note, the selected servicing agent must have a linked user or the Sales Record will be created without a servicing agent. Learn more about linking agents to users. |
