What is the Lead Management platform?

The lead management system is a platform that retrains and allows you to manage your Mortgage Brain online tools. This includes managing your leads, creating or editing your Best Buy criteria settings and the resetting of your password.

Your login details to your management system are issued by the Web Brain team, which are sent to you via email, following the setup of your tools. Enter these into the relevant fields within the log in screen to access to your account.

When you login, by default, the system will display your leads section.

There are several options within the management system, which are illustrated in the screenshots below, together with a description of each section documented to guide you through using the platform.

Managing Leads

New Lead: The system will notify you of any new lead generated from your online tools via an email.

The management platform is defaulted to show ‘New’ leads when you first login.

All client data, contact details, search criteria and product, will be included within the lead details (if the client clicked on the enquire button directly from the product listing).

In order to open up the lead information and contact the customer, click the Details link in the last column.

The screenshot below gives you an example of how the lead information appears

Once you have made contact with the lead, you can then move them into either your Pending, Archive or Completed folders. Alternatively, you can delete the enquiry.

You have the ability of exporting the lead details into PDF, Word, Excel or a CSV format. This means that, if you have a back office platform, you can import the data directly into your preferred system.

You have the ability to email the client directly from this screen. To do this, simply click on the email address. This will automatically open up an email for you to send.

Creating your static best buy Table

Mortgage Brain have now created your tools and it is time for you to configure your own unique Best Buy results table.

Click the Create New Static Best Buy Table button to access the settings.

When you create your new table, you have the option to present the results by Mortgage Purpose – or by Initial Rate Period.

The Description is used for internal use only, as you may want to have more than one table. Please note that only one table is active at a time on your site.

Mortgage Purpose – If you want your table to allow the consumer to look at purchase types, for example, Remortgage, Moving Home, First Time buyer.
