First-Time Setup: Importing Your Leads

If this is a brand new account, this area will have no leads and there will be a message informing you to add opportunities. To import your leads please head to the Search tool.


Step 2: Selecting Your Opportunities

Your next stop is the Search tool. Here, you can easily find and select the opportunities that are most relevant to your needs.

  • Navigate to the Search tab.

  • Enter the part of the country that you want to search leads in the Location field (e.g. Albuquerque, NM)

  • Select the Radius (e.g. 5 mile, 3 mile, 1 mile)

  • Click Search

  • Assign the opportunities by clicking the β€œAssign” button for each search result on the right hand side of the screen.

These opportunities selected will automatically populate in your Deal Flow page with the status of β€œNew”.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Note: Each opportunity assigned is tallied in the top right part of the page. Here you can keep track of your monthly budget of opportunities for your tier.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Tip: You can enter street view with the plug-in by using the little yellow person in the map (Just like in Google Maps)

Need More Opportunities?

If you've assigned all opportunities within your current search area, simply:

  1. Search a new area, or Move the search circle by clicking a different part of the map.

  2. Click "Search" to load more opportunities.


Step 3: Interact and Manage Leads

With your leads assigned, you can now engage with them and track your progress. The Deal Flow page has two key sections to help you manage your opportunities: Filters and the Opportunity Cards.

Filters Area

  • Quick Filters: These buttons instantly change the opportunities you see below.

    • All: Displays every opportunity regardless of status.

    • Follow Up: Shows facilities you've set reminders for, ordered by time.

    • Interested: Filters for opportunities you've marked as "Interested."

  • Search Field: Quickly find facilities by name.

  • Status Field: Filter by statuses not covered in the quick buttons.

  • State Field: Narrow down opportunities by their state.

  • Order By: Sort your opportunities by various criteria like facility name, date added, etc..
