Lead register
Source, contact, company, received time, owner, lifecycle state, age, and current priority.
Which leads are unowned, stale, duplicated, or ready for review?Track where each lead came from, who owns it, how long it has waited, what happened last, and what must happen next.
A tracker should answer “who must do what by when?” without asking a manager to reconcile another spreadsheet.
A dashboard is useful only when every signal leads to accountable work.
Source, contact, company, received time, owner, lifecycle state, age, and current priority.
Which leads are unowned, stale, duplicated, or ready for review?Criteria, evidence, reviewer, score, decision, and decision time.
Why was this lead accepted, rejected, or recycled?Action type, owner, due time, completion state, outcome, and next-stage recommendation.
Which customer commitment is due, overdue, blocked, or complete?Opportunity reference, conversion date, source lineage, and retained notes.
Did the accepted lead become real commercial work?Each measure should open a queue the team can work.
New demand with no accountable owner after the assignment window.
Example SLA used to highlight work before it becomes overdue.
Example age since meaningful activity that triggers manager review.
Converted, rejected, or recycled records with a reason and decision date.
One register can support different queues without copying the data.
Needs today’s new, due, overdue, and recently reassigned leads.
A focused work queue ordered by urgency and next action.Needs ownership gaps, aging, SLA breaches, and qualification bottlenecks.
Exception views that open the responsible record.Needs source quality, lifecycle definitions, routing consistency, and conversion lineage.
Governed fields and auditable transitions across the lead trail.Lead tracking emphasizes visibility: source, owner, age, status, activity, due work, and conversion. Lead management includes the broader operating model for qualification, routing, automation, exceptions, and handoffs.
Yes when several people need shared ownership, reminders, permissions, related qualification records, dashboards, or history. A spreadsheet can still be useful for a small temporary register.
Define it from the process: time since receipt without ownership, a missed first-response SLA, a due follow-up action, or too much time since meaningful activity. Keep the rule visible and consistent.
Connect the lead register to qualification and follow-up records, then give representatives and managers focused views over the same data.
A workbook may be sufficient when ownership, permissions, reminders, related records, and audit history are not required.
