Overview
Contractor leads help you track potential customers from first contact through to winning (or losing) the sale. BlueClerk's lead management system organizes prospects in a simple pipeline: New → Contacted → Qualified → Won/Lost. You can review leads in detail, update their information, log activity with quick action buttons, and change their status - all from a convenient dialog that opens directly on the leads list page.
NEW: Quick Activity Logging - Log calls, emails, texts, voicemails, meetings, and notes with one click using quick action buttons. Each action automatically updates the lead's last contacted timestamp and adds a timestamped activity entry to the lead's history. No forms to fill out - just click the action, optionally add a note, and you're done.
NEW: Automated Follow-Up Reminders - Set a follow-up date when logging activity, and BlueClerk automatically creates a reminder for you. The reminder appears in your follow-ups list and sends notifications when it's due, ensuring you never forget to circle back with a prospect.
NEW: Follow-up Context & Assistant Dismissal Notes - Follow-up detail cards now show recent contact context (recent activity entries and the last few emails sent) to help you decide next steps. When a follow-up was created by the virtual assistant, you can now dismiss it with a structured reason, outcome, and an optional free-text note that is saved with the follow-up history.
