Lead Finder Results, Decoded

A Lead Finder results list showing ten Nigerian businesses, each with a status chip like quiet 4 days, new enquiry, reachable or replied 2h ago, and a Draft follow-up action — Ten leads, five different signals. Each chip tells you the one move to make today.

The list is not a to-do list — it's a signal board

New owners read a lead list top to bottom and message everyone the same way. That's how you sound like spam. The chips next to each name are the point: they tell you where each conversation is, and each position has exactly one correct next move.

The map

Chip	What it means	The one move
🔴 quiet 4 days	They went silent after contact — the deal is cooling right now	Send the drafted follow-up today, before it dies
🟡 no follow-up	You reached out once and never returned	Second touch now — most deals close on touch 2 or 3
🟢 new enquiry	Fresh, warm, waiting on you	Reply within the hour; warmth decays fast
🟢 reachable	Contact verified, no conversation yet	Safe to open with your first message
🟡 replied 2h ago	Live conversation, they're engaged	Move it forward: proposal, price, or booking — don't stall

Work the board, not the list

Each morning, handle the reds first (money cooling), then the fresh greens (money arriving), then the ambers (money stalling). Ten leads worked by signal beats fifty messaged in order — because the signal tells you who's ready now.

A lead list without statuses is a phone book. With statuses, it's a pipeline — and a pipeline tells you what to do next without you guessing.

See your board: Lead Finder shows every lead with its live status and the drafted next action, so "what do I do now" is never a question. Open Lead Finder →
