The Prospect Generator Dashboard allows you to quickly Add a Lead, view Today's Calendar events, view recently added Leads, view your Lead Categories, and preview your Email Campaigns.
Only permission based leads may be manually added to Prospect Generator. How do you know if your lead is "permission based"? If you have verbally spoken to this person, they are interested and want you to followup - they are a lead. Leads come into the system either from lead forms, forms on web pages, manually entered, lead importer or the address book importer. Your account can accept up to 3,000 leads per annual rolling period (1-year).
Add A Prospect Using Quick Add
A prospect can be manually added to your Prospect Generator through a Quick Add. A Quick Add consists of first name, last name and email. Quick Add prospects can also automatically be placed into a default category, automating prospect communication. Quick Add is a great tool for manually adding in contacts from the business cards you collect. Also, if you host an event and have a sign in sheet, you can manually add those contacts in as well through Quick Add.
Add A Prospect Using Quick Add
Step 1: Choose a Default Language. (The prospect will receive email communication in the
chosen language.)
Step 2: Fill in First Name, Last Name and Email.
Step 3: Click "Add Prospect."
The prospect has been added. Once you’ve added the prospect, you can add more information about them such as phone number (See Manage Prospects, Manage Prospect Details).
TIP: For a test, we always recommend one of the first things you do is manually add yourself into your Prospect Generator. That way you can assign yourself categories to see what the email messages look like when delivered.
Select Default Category For Quick Add Prospects
The default category is the category that all Quick Add prospects will automatically be assigned to.
Edit Default Category
Step 1: Click on the Account Settings tab.
Step 2: In the Edit User block, scroll to Default Category field.
Step 3: From the drop down menu select a category.
Step 4: Click "Save Changes."
Quick Add prospects will now go directly into your chosen category and begin receiving the email campaign attached to that category. If you don't want all of your Quick Adds to be in an automatic category, choose none.

Shared Lead Categories
Lead Categories determine which Email Campaign will be triggered to your leads. An Email Campaign is a series of pre-created email messages designed to "drip" information to your leads and drive your leads to action. Each shared Lead Category has been created by your network administrator and has compliant email messages ready to be sent to your leads. In the Lead Categories block you will see the category name, the number of emails within that category and the number of leads within the category.
View Email Campaign:
Step 1: Click on the Category Name. The window will refresh.
Step 2: Under Email Campaign, you will see a list of emails and the schedule. The
schedule number represents the days from when the lead is placed in the
category that the email message will be triggered to the lead.
Step 3: Click Preview Email to view the email message.
Shared Email Campaigns:
Shared Lead Categories are campaigns that have been created by your network administrator and include compliant email messages that are compliant and cannot be edited. Shared email messages will include your My Signature.
Note: Your My Signature uses personal account information from fields in Account Settings.

Message to be sent. The “days” represent the days from when a Prospect
is added to this Category. For Example: Immediately will be displayed as “0”.
3 Days will be displayed as “3”. Meaning, (3) days from when the prospect is
added to the Category. As a rule, send out Email Messages every 3 days
for the first 15 days. This gives continual information for a prospect to review
which increases response rate.
Step 6: Click Save Changes.
