Lead Sources

Overview

Note: Help content (except videos) has been updated to reflect the UI/UX changes in BQE CORE.

A lead source is the primary source through which leads and prospects find out about your company. It refers to the common avenues your company collects the leads from. The source could be advertisements, trade shows, Internet or search engines such as Google, word-of-mouth, emails, conferences, resellers, etc. You can create a custom list of lead sources to represent how the leads and prospects were identified by your company. Click to watch this video on creating CRM lists in BQE CORE.

When entering new leads and prospects, it is helpful to understand how they came into contact with you. For instance, if a Google ad is sending a lot of prospects your way, you might want to focus more marketing money on this outlet when possible.
