Filtering leads by availability can help you focus your efforts on prospects that are more likely to convert into paying customers. Here are some steps you can take to filter leads by availability:
- Define your service area: Before you can check availability, you need to define your service area. Determine the geographic regions where you offer your services and establish clear boundaries. Go to Setting -> Service Setting -> Zone and Define your area where you offer services currently.
- Collect prospect information: When you receive a lead, collect information about their location, including their zip code or city. Even you don’t provide services to the requested are, ServiceWorks enables you to collect the information of the potential customer for future expansion.
- Check availability: Use a tool in ServiceWorks instant booking page to check whether your services are available in the prospect’s location. You can also manually check the prospect’s location against your service area boundaries. Get the code from share and embed that in your website.
- Segment leads by availability: Once you’ve checked availability, segment your leads into two groups: those who are in your service area and those who are not. Focus your efforts on the leads in your service area, as they are more likely to become paying customers.
- Follow up with leads: After you’ve segmented your leads, follow up with them accordingly. For leads in your service area, prioritize them and provide them with relevant information about your services. For leads outside your service area, ServiceWorks lets you politely decline and collect their information for future follow up. The list of customers not in your service area can be accessed from Potential Customer List report under Customer section.
By filtering leads by availability, you can save time and resources and focus on the prospects that are most likely to convert into paying customers.
