Step 1: Check if the client already exists

Use the Search bar to look for the lead.

You can enable the Advanced Search toggle to search across branches.

  1. If the client is found, open the profile and continue updating it.
  2. If the client is not found, proceed to create a new lead.

Step 2: Create a New Lead Profile

Go to People > Clients.

Click +Create New Client.
  1. Alternatively, you can use the quick action button at the bottom right of the screen to create a new client.

Step 3: Complete the Lead Form

A. Required Client Details
Enter the client’s first name, last name, gender, and email if available.
Notes
 You can add any missing details later if they are not yet known.
B. Lead Source Details
Provide details about how the client was sourced to support accurate reporting and tracking.
  1. Lead Source Category: The broad classification of where the enquiry originated (Example: website, referral, or social media).
  1. Lead Source Medium: The specific platform or method through which the client engaged (Example: Facebook or LinkedIn).
  1. Lead Source Channel: The exact campaign, advertisement, or source detail that generated the enquiry.
  1. Fill in the Department field to indicate which department the client belongs to. This typically refers to their funding source (for example, SAH for Support at Home).
 

C. Conversation Notes
Add notes from the initial contact, such as a phone enquiry, client needs, or concerns.

D. Next Steps
Create follow-up tasks, such as calling back the client, sending information, or arranging an assessment. These tasks will appear in the Tasks & Shopping Lists section in the client profile.

Step 4: Save the Lead

  • Click Save or Save and View.
  • Select Save and View to open the client profile immediately.

Lead Management

You can find the lead under People > Clients. Click the dropdown above to view other statuses.

Click Lead.

This is an example of a created lead profile, which appears under the Lead status.

Next Steps

The client is created as a Lead (indicated by a purple ring on their profile) in the system. You may optionally include an image for reference.

Review all information in the client profile and make sure any relevant blank fields are completed. It is also important to add contact details and the client’s address.

Add a short bio on the client’s About Me page describing the client.

Likes and Dislikes
  1. Add likes using relevant keywords to highlight the client’s preferences and interests.
  2. Add dislikes to capture any preferences that should be considered.
