Overview
Why this matters: When you're juggling dozens of leads, it's easy to lose track of who needs a follow-up call, which lead needs a site visit scheduled, or who's waiting on a quote. The Task Module in Leads lets you assign, track, and manage tasks tied to individual leads — just like you do with project tasks — so your sales team stays organized and closes more deals.
💡 Bottom Line: Lead tasks keep your sales pipeline moving by making sure every lead gets the attention it deserves, with clear assignments, priorities, and reminders.
Prerequisites
Before you get started, make sure you have:
✅ Admin or Manager access to SubcontractorHub
✅ At least one lead in your system (or you'll create one in Step 1)
✅ Team members set up as users so you can assign tasks

Real-World Example
Scenario: You run a roofing company and just got 15 new leads from a home show. You create a task for each lead: "Follow-up call within 48 hours" assigned to your sales rep Sarah, with High priority and a reminder set for 24 hours before the due date. Sarah gets notified, makes her calls, and marks each task as complete. You filter by the Leads module in the Tasks page to see which follow-ups are still pending — and nothing slips through.
Pro Tips
🏆 Assign by role when you want any available team member to pick up the task — great for round-robin follow-ups.
🏆 Set reminders on every lead task so your team gets a nudge before deadlines.
🏆 Use priority levels consistently — High for hot leads ready to close, Medium for warm leads, Low for long-term nurtures.
