Four Saved Views for the Leads List: My Calls, Not Given to Anyone, Waiting and Called With No Result

Why does a lead list need saved views?

A list sorted by date answers "what came in", not "what needs me now". After a busy Monday, the leads that matter are buried between new ones and old ones that are already handled. A saved view is a preset question asked of the same list. It is not a second list: the page you are on, its search box, its tag filter and its stage pills all still work on top of it.

What does each view hold?

Next to them is All, which removes the narrowing. Each of the four views shows a count beside its name, so you know whether to open it before you do. An owner opens the Leads page on All. A rep opens on My calls, unless the link they followed names a lead set such as one source. The chosen view goes into the page address as ?preset=, so a refresh keeps it and you can send a manager the link.

Why 10 minutes for Waiting?

Ten minutes is the line the fell-through list already draws. In the screen, a lead waiting past ten minutes is marked as needing attention, and past twenty minutes it is marked as escalated, which matches the owner alert at twenty minutes described in our guide to leads left up for grabs. Why those numbers? The best-known public data point is a vendor study, not UAE data: the 2007 InsideSales.com and MIT Lead Response Management Study, presented at a MarketingSherpa summit on 16 October 2007. It examined three years of data across six companies, over fifteen thousand web leads and over one hundred thousand call attempts, and says the odds of contacting a lead fall by five times between a call at 5 minutes and a call at 10 minutes. The study did not look at close rates, the companies were not in the UAE, and the company that produced it sells call software. Treat it as a reason to look at the first minutes, not as a promise. Our guide to which speed-to-lead numbers are misquoted goes through it in more detail.

What is Called, result not saved for?

A tap on Call is not a result. If the rep taps Call, talks, and then never records "booked" or "no answer", the lead looks untouched to everyone else and the next step is never decided. Two minutes after the tap, the app asks the rep "Did you reach them?". This view is the worklist of the ones still unanswered. Unlike the prompt, it has no 24-hour cap: an old call with no result stays on the list until someone logs it. For an owner it is also a quiet way to find a call that was made and never recorded. Our guide on what a manager can and cannot see about each rep covers the other screens.

Can a rep reach another rep's leads through a view?

No. A view only produces a list of lead ids. The database then applies the same scoping it always does, so a rep gets their own leads and the pool, and the views cannot widen that. The three views the server builds are each capped at 500 leads, the same ceiling as the fell-through lists, and a view that holds nothing shows a plain empty state such as "Nothing is up for grabs".

Where does this leave your team?

Nobody has to build filters. The four questions a sales team asks every day are one tap each, with a live number beside them. See how it works, and our guide to who owns a lead and the list of leads nobody called for the list the Waiting view shares its rule with.
