⚠️ Before you get started you need a way to track incoming leads and methodology to designate which leads have or have not been contacted by a member of your team.

For our example, we will be using the Lead object and Lead Status field to fulfill these requirements.

 How To Do It

 1. Create a Stale Leads report in Salesforce

  • Required filters
    • Your designated ‘untouched’ Lead stage(s)
    • Create Date → less than your first-touch requirement time (e.g., Last 2 Days)
