Why Reject?

Why Reject a Lead?

Why Reject a Proposal?

Below are examples of why you might reject a lead:

  • A customer needs to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

  • The customer is unsatisfied for one reason or another.

  • A customer changed their mind about services.

  • A customer went with a competitor instead.

Below are examples of why you might reject a proposal:

  • You need to modify the proposal to add or remove services or goods.

  • The customer was unsatisfied with the quote or price.

  • Your schedule and the customer's schedule don't align.

  • The customer was unresponsive and never got back to you.

  • The customer went with a competitor.

Rejected Leads vs. Rejected Proposals

A job rejected while it's still a lead is a rejected lead. A job rejected after it reaches proposal status is a rejected proposal. The Rejected tab may include both.


Reject vs Delete

Why reject and not just delete?

  • The Reject function will keep a record in SingleOps of the homeowner and address.
    ​

  • You'll be able to see a history of previous quotes and make notes as to why it was rejected.
    ​

  • When you delete a lead or proposal, you'll lose all record related to the customer's inquiry, which may be problematic when you need to refer back to a customer's personal, financial, or job history.
