  • If a customer's phone number is linked to a second chance lead in the Open or Cold tab for up to 14 days, a banner on the Job Booking screen indicates that the job is associated with a second chance lead. This helps you get the necessary context to book the job. Overview of job details including type, date, priority, and associated tags.

Best practices

  • After you start using Second Chance Leads, make sure to keep the status up-to-date along with notes, so others can see exactly what's going on. For example, if you review a second chance lead and determine that it's a lead but you don't want to follow up, select It's a lead but I'm not going to follow up to help you keep track of the lead. If you realize it wasn't actually a lead, update the status to Not a Lead.        

    Caution: Only mark a second chance lead as Not a Lead when it genuinely doesn't qualify as a lead, not simply because you choose not to follow up. Incorrectly marking valid second chance leads as Not a Lead can reduce Second Chance Lead's effectiveness in identifying real leads.

  • Make sure you have a process in place in case you need to leave a voicemail for the customer. What should the outbound caller ID be? What number do you want to leave on the voicemail for the customer to call back?

    For example, if you review the second chance lead, call the customer, and leave a voicemail, do you want the customer to call you back directly, call one of your tracking numbers and ask for you, or should any agent be able to help?

Update Second Chance Lead statuses

Second Chance Leads automatically changes the status on calls when possible, but there might be times you need to update the status manually. You can manually update the status from the Second Chance Leads screen. The following statuses are available to be manually set:

  • New: Any calls flagged as a second chance lead have this status by default.

  • Lead - Not able to save: Update the lead's status to this if it was a lead, but you aren't able to book the job. The call moves to the Done tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

  • Lead - Not following up: Select this status if it was a lead, but there is no need to call the customer back. For example, maybe too much time has passed, or the call type is not worth a follow-up despite it being a lead. The call moves to the Done tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

  • Lead - Call Back Attempted: When you select Call Customer Back on the Call Details window, the status automatically updates to this. The call remains in the Open tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

  • Reviewed - Not a Lead: Select this status when you know the call is not a lead and doesn't need a callback. For example, if a renter calls or the call is about an existing job. The call moves to the Done tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

The following statuses are automatically set on Second Chance Leads when they're marked as Done:

  • Job booked by SCL: If you're able to successfully save the opportunity by calling the customer back, the call updates to this status when the job is booked. The call moves to the Done tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

  • Job booked elsewhere: Select this status if the second chance lead is created after the call ended but before the agent booked the job. The call moves to the Done tab on the Second Chance Leads screen.

Note: You can't set Job booked by SCL or Job booked elsewhere manually on a lead. Once these two statuses have been automatically added to a SCL, the SCL's status can't be updated any further.
