Assignment Rules
The primary step in a business is to gather quality leads from multiple sources, and engage them in different marketing activities. For a good conversion rate, it is important to pay attention to every lead that is gathered.
With large number of leads entering the business through multiple sources such as webforms, trade shows, channel partners, etc., it can be challenging to ensure that each one is contacted, followed, and pursued.
Assignment Rules is a tool that can address this by optimally distributing the leads among the sales reps based on conditions. It can also be used to automatically assign Contacts, Deals, Cases or custom records to the respective CRM users.
In this video, you will learn the process of automatic distribution of records among CRM users based on the specified criteria. Additionally, you will learn to add follow-up tasks that must be carried out by the sales rep when a record is assigned.
