Detailed Insights
Pain Points
Lead sources are scattered.
Leads arrive from portals, ads, calls, and referrals. Without one workflow, teams miss responses and create duplicate work.
No clear follow-up ownership.
When no one is assigned by stage or source, leads sit idle. Managers cannot see who should act next.
Weak pipeline visibility.
Teams cannot tell how many enquiries became visits or bookings. Forecasts then become guesses.

Common Mistakes
- Starting setup before defining the sales process and owner rules.
- Using one generic pipeline for every property type and buyer journey.
- Not tracking lead source, which breaks ROI reports.
