Tags in Lead Scout are a powerful organizational tool that can significantly enhance your sales canvassing and door knocking process. In this article, we'll explore what tags are and provide insights into how to use them effectively.

How to get the most out of tags

  1. Create relevant tags: Develop a set of tags that align with your sales strategy and the criteria that matter most for your business.

  2. Apply tags thoughtfully: When adding a new prospect, apply tags that accurately represent the attributes or characteristics of the property and the homeowner.

  3. Consistent tagging: Encourage your team to use tags consistently to maintain a well-organized prospect database.

  4. Leverage and quickly find existing tags: When adding tags, easily browse or search pre-existing tags, or quickly add a new tag if you can't find the tag you're looking for.

How to apply tags to a prospect:

  1. Create a new prospect or open an existing prospect: Begin by adding a new prospect to the map (Long press on the map to add a new prospect) or tapping an existing prospect.

  2. Scroll down to "Tags": When the prospect details pop up, locate the "Tags" section in the prospect details.

  3. Add tags: Add tags that are relevant to this prospect, homeowner, or property.
