Assign companies to a user

Lead Generated gives you the flexibility of being able to assign one company to multiple clients or multiple companies to a single client, aside from a one to one relationship.

You may have one lead generation website that produces so many leads you divide them between several clients or you may have a few websites producing lots of leads to a single client.

Either way, in this section you will learn how to assign a company or more to a single user.

Steps

  1. On the left menu, click on “Users”, then “All Users”.
  2. Find the user you wish to assign a company to. Click on “View”.
  3. Click on “Profile”.
  4. Click on “Edit User”.
  5. Click on “Companies List” by “Assign Companies” and select the company or companies you want to link this user to.
  6. Click on the Update button.

Connect Clients and Companies

Companies are a central building block within the Lead Generated platform. When you first create a company it will not have many of the associations necessary to take full advantage of our system. One of the first connections you will want to make is the connection between the client and the company. This is a quick and simple process.  Like many things in Lead Generated, there are several ways to do things. You can either assign the client to the company or the company to the client.

Why Connect Clients and Companies

  • Leads get auto-assigned to clients as they arrive or are created.
  • Allows for auto-forwarding of leads to clients.
  • Clients can only see the leads they are assigned to when they log in.
  • Allows for automated reporting of “Leads by Client” throughout our lead management module.
