Lead Tracking for Decorators

Track leads from first enquiry to won job. Never let a potential client go cold again.

Every enquiry is a potential job. But if you do not follow up, leads go cold and you lose work. The problem is not a lack of leads — it is a lack of follow-up.

Trade Assist helps you track every lead from first enquiry to won job, so no potential client ever slips through the cracks.

Deep Dive: Lead Tracking

Every enquiry your decorating business receives is a potential job — but only if you follow up. The harsh reality is that most decorators lose work not because they cannot do the job, but because they do not follow up on leads quickly enough. A lead that goes cold is a job lost to a competitor who was more responsive.

Trade Assist Lead Tracking gives you a clear pipeline for every enquiry, from first contact to won or lost. Record every lead with its source — referral, website, advert, walk-in — and track it through stages: new, contacted, quoted, won or lost. At any moment, you can see exactly how many leads you have, what stage they are at and which ones need a follow-up.

The source tracking feature is a marketing tool in disguise. By recording where each lead came from, you build up a picture of which marketing channels actually work for your business. If most of your won leads come from referrals, focus on generating more referrals. If your website leads have a high conversion rate, invest in SEO. If a particular advert produces lots of leads but few conversions, stop spending money on it. This data takes the guesswork out of marketing spend.

The follow-up reminders ensure no lead ever goes cold. The system shows you which leads need a follow-up and when, so you can make the call at the right moment. For decorators who hate chasing, the AI Email Writer can draft the perfect follow-up email in seconds — professional, polite and effective. Consistent follow-up is the single biggest lever for increasing your conversion rate, and Trade Assist makes it effortless.
