Purpose of This Report

The purpose of this report is to provide you with a list of specific distributed leads, their status, marketing activity related to each lead and the opportunity value of the lead within the selected date range. Use this report grouped by partner and sales status to find out how many partners are following up on their leads. You can review the data at any time, depending on your preferences and average selling cycle. The recommended timeframe for review and trending is bi-weekly to monthly to ensure leads do not get cold as a result of partner in-activity.

What Data is Being Reported 

The data is gathered from all of the leads you have distributed to your partners. The report shows the email address of the lead sent to a partner, when it was sent, if a partner has accepted or rejected the lead or not, the sales stage set by the partner/partner sales representative working the lead, if there are any events or opportunities associated with the lead, and your originating source campaign of the lead.

Important: When comparing the data of the  Lead Distribution Summary and Lead Summary, Lead Scores will degrade over a period of inactivity. Once the score goes below your lowest Minimum Lead Threshold score, the lead will no longer be counted on the report. For the Lead Distribution Summary, we do not consider the lead score. The distributed lead never drops off the report. As a result, you may see leads on the Lead Distribution Summary that are not on the Lead Summary. 

Please note, any edits previously set within another report may carry over as the default into subsequent reports. Always check that the data you are viewing is in the date range/format you are expecting it to be in. You can verify the report criteria by selecting Edit Report.
