Summary

Overview: The Hot Leads report lists the leads Pippin scored hot in a date range, highest score first. It flags hot leads that have waited too long for a person, so your team can act fast.

Prerequisites:

  • You are a Sales Manager or the Admin.
  • Lead scoring is set up. See How to Set Up Lead Scoring.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open the report

  1. Go to Dashboard.
  2. On the Hot Leads tile, click View. The report opens with the same date preset as the Dashboard.

Step 2: Set the date range

  1. Click the date button at the top right, pick a preset or Custom, and click Apply.

Step 3: Read the table

  1. The line above the table shows the total, for example Showing 4 hot leads.
  2. Leads are sorted by score, highest first. Columns:
    • Date Received, Contact Name (click to open the lead), Company and Email Address.
    • Score.
    • Status: the lead's stage.
    • Next Action: the path Pippin chose for the lead.
    • Review Status: the state of the lead's latest Review Queue item: Pending, Approved, Edited, Rejected, Superseded or Sent. A dash means the lead has no review item.
    • Response Time: time since the lead arrived. Over 1 hour shows in red.
    • Last Activity: time since the last message with the lead. Over 2 hours shows in red.
    • Needs Attention: an alert icon means the lead arrived more than 1 hour ago and its review item is still pending.
  3. Click any row to open the lead.

Step 4: Act on flagged leads

  1. For a lead with the Needs Attention icon, open the Review Queue and approve or reject its pending item. See How to Approve or Reject Items in the Review Queue.

Step 5: Search and export

  1. Type in Search name, company, email... to filter.
  2. Click Export CSV to download the rows shown. The file is named hot-leads- plus today's date.

Verify It Worked

Success criteria:

  • The table lists only hot leads that arrived in the range.
  • After you approve a flagged item, its Review Status changes and the Needs Attention icon goes away.

Troubleshooting

Common errors

  • "No hot leads found for this period.": no hot leads arrived in the range, or none match your search. Fix: widen the date range or clear the search.

Limitations & considerations

  • The table shows up to 100 leads at a time. Narrow the range or search to find others.
  • Archived leads are not included.
