The problem with traditional lead tracking

Leads scribbled on sticky notes. Spreadsheets with five different versions. Updates lost in group chats.

Sound familiar?

Most moving companies still rely on chaotic systems to manage leads — which leads to confusion, missed follow-ups, and lost jobs.

“When your lead board is a whiteboard, you're leaving money on the table.”

What a modern lead board should do

Your lead board should act like mission control — a real-time, always-updated, crystal-clear view of what’s happening with every lead.

At a glance, you should know:

  • ✔️ Who’s assigned to what
  • ✔️ Which leads are hot, cold, or stuck
  • ✔️ What action is needed and when
  • ✔️ How close you are to booking

No guesswork. No delays. No confusion.

5 elements of a high-performing lead board

  • 📊 Visual pipeline view: See every stage — New Lead → Estimate Sent → Booked → Follow-up — in one glance.
  • ⚙️ Custom lead stages: Adapt stages to your sales process, not the other way around.
  • 🏷️ Tags & filters: Instantly slice leads by zip code, sales rep, job type, and more.
  • 🔔 Built-in reminders & alerts: Get notified when leads sit too long, no more “oops, we forgot to follow up.”
  • 🖱️ One-click updates: Update status, add notes, or send a message without leaving the board.

Why spreadsheets aren’t enough

Sure, spreadsheets are flexible, but they break fast at scale.

  • ❌ No real-time updates
  • ❌ Manual errors pile up
  • ❌ Multiple people = version chaos
  • ❌ Zero automation or alerts

And worst of all? Your reps hate using them. So they don’t.
