See where every lead came from

The Enquiries board in the Scalus app on a computer and a phone, each card showing where the lead came from: Phone call, Instagram, Facebook, Meta or Website

A tattoo studio I work with gets enquiries from everywhere: people ringing, people tapping an Instagram or Facebook ad, people finding the website on Google. On the board they all looked the same. So I made every card say where the lead came from.

The problem

When every card looks the same, you cannot tell at a glance which enquiries came from your ads and which came from a phone call or your website. That makes it hard to know what is actually bringing in work, and hard to know how to answer someone before you have even opened their card.

The result

On the Enquiries board in the Scalus app, the first chip on every card now says where the lead came from.

Open the board and you know where each enquiry came from before you read a word.

The screens above are the real app, shown on a sample business. If your business uses the Pipeline in the Scalus app, you can ask for lead sources in the app, and I can label the leads already on your board too.

Want this in your app?

Clients using the Pipeline can ask for it in the app today. Not a client yet? The website, the app and the systems behind them are one plan, month to month.

Questions about this feature

Where do I see where a lead came from?
On the Enquiries board in the Scalus app, on a computer or your phone. The first chip on each card says where that lead came from: Phone call, Instagram, Facebook, Meta or Website.
What does Meta mean on a card?
The lead came from Instagram or Facebook, but the link they used did not say which of the two. It shows in blue like the others.
What if someone clicks an ad and enquires from a different page?
They still show as Instagram or Facebook. The website remembers where the visit started for as long as that tab stays open, so moving around the site before enquiring does not lose it.
Do my older leads have a source too?
They can. I can go back through the leads already on your board and label each one from what was recorded when it came in, so the whole board tells the same story, not just new enquiries.
