What is Lead Grading?

Getting the most out of your LeadExec Account

Why is this important?

Lead Grading allows you to validate information on your leads by running checks on system fields set on your lead type.

You are able to run grading on the following fields:

  • Address – Ensures that the address is deliverable.

  • IP Address – Checks to make sure that the IP is tied to the Address.

  • Comments – Makes sure that the comments section has information input.

  • Email – Ensures that the email address is deliverable.

  • Phone - Checks to see if the number is callable.

You are able to set up a custom grading scale with each letter grade allowing you to have leads follow certain routes.

LeadExec will then show the grade of the lead inside of the reporting screens.
