Lead Routing

Definition

Lead routing is the automated process of assigning new leads to the right agent or team member based on specific criteria like location, lead source, availability or team role. It’s key to delivering fast, personalized follow-up.

Key Takeaways

• Ensures leads go to the right person quickly
• Helps teams manage large lead volumes efficiently
• Reduces response time and improves lead experience

Why It Matters

Speed-to-lead matters. The faster and more accurately a lead is routed, the better the chance it will convert. Manual assignments slow you down and create room for error.

Real World Example

A lead from a seller valuation page in Austin is routed automatically to the agent assigned to Travis County listings, with a follow-up task scheduled immediately.
