One place, one status
Every enquiry, whatever channel it came from, in a single list with an owner and a status. That alone removes the two most common failures: leads nobody claimed, and leads two people chased.
Most owners already have a dashboard. It is spread across a phone's call log, a shared inbox, a notebook in the ute and someone's memory. The problem is not effort; it is that nobody can see the whole picture at once.
Every enquiry, whatever channel it came from, in a single list with an owner and a status. That alone removes the two most common failures: leads nobody claimed, and leads two people chased.
A visible age on each lead is a quiet performance system. Nobody wants to be the person with the four-day-old enquiry sitting at the top of the board.
When source is captured on every lead, you can see which channel produces booked work rather than which one produces the most noise.
