Lead Routing Guide

Lead routing is the process of getting each lead to the right rep quickly. Done well, it powers speed to lead; done badly, good leads go cold in a queue.

Why routing matters

A great lead routed to the wrong rep — or no rep — is a wasted lead. Routing protects the value your lead gen creates.

Route by the right rules

Match leads to reps by territory, vertical, deal size, or round-robin — whatever reflects how your team actually sells.

Automate it

Manual routing is slow and error-prone. Automated routing plus instant notification keeps speed to lead high.

Key takeaways

  • Routing protects the leads you worked to create
  • Match leads to reps by sensible rules
