Reviewing Inbound Leads (Scores, Temperatures)
Reviewing Inbound Leads (Scores, Temperatures)
When sellers submit leads to your requests, they appear as "inbound leads." Here's how to review them effectively and make smart purchasing decisions.
Accessing Inbound Leads
- Go to Dashboard → Click Inbound Leads
- Or navigate directly to Inbound Leads from the menu
- You'll see all leads awaiting your review
Understanding Lead Information
Each inbound lead displays key information to help you decide:
Basic Details
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Category | The lead request this was submitted to |
| Location | Country flag + city |
| Seller | Who submitted the lead |
| Price | Cost to purchase this lead |
| Submitted | When the lead was submitted |
Lead Score
A quality rating from 0-100 based on:
- Completeness of information
- Email and phone validation
- Match to your requirements
- Seller's historical performance
Score interpretation:
| Score | Quality | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 80-100 | 🟢 Excellent | High priority, likely to convert |
| 60-79 | 🟡 Good | Worth purchasing |
| 40-59 | 🟠 Average | Review carefully |
| 0-39 | 🔴 Low | Consider rejecting |
Lead Temperature
An urgency indicator based on freshness:
| Temperature | Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 🔥 Hot | Fire | Just submitted—act fast! |
| ☀️ Warm | Sun | A few days old—still good |
| ❄️ Cold | Snowflake | Getting stale—decide soon |
Why temperature matters:
- Fresh leads respond better to contact
- Hot leads have higher conversion rates
- Cold leads may have already found another provider
