In Follow Up Boss you can add lenders as users so you can easily collaborate on leads. Lender assignment in Follow Up Boss makes it easy for the chosen lender to add notes to the contact, track communication, and work the lead alongside the assigned agent. The lender field can only be used if you have added a lender as a user. If you simply want to track lenders vs. collaborate and assign lenders to leads, use a custom field instead!
How it Works
How to add and assign a lender
- Go to Admin > Team to add a user
- Once you have a lender added, you can assign a lender to a lead under the lender field.
- You can also automatically assign lenders to incoming leads from any source. Go to Admin > Lead Flow and select a lender or lender group for each lead source.
