High Value Lead Description
You may receive a lot of contact requests and sorting through them quickly and surfacing the most important ones may be a challenge.
To help surface potential high value requests, you can set a high value lead description that will then be used to train the AI to better classify these types of requests.
For example, if you are a plumber, you want to prioritize people needing a new hot water heater or a repipe versus somebody that has a running toilet. You may even have jobs that your business is better versus others that you want to include, beyond the typical high value jobs for your industry.
When creating the description, think of how you would explain to a new customer service representative that is answering your phone. Customers calling won't necessarily tell you that they need a new hot water heater, instead they will give symptoms like "water is heating up" and "our unit is 20 years old".
Another thing to consider is urgency around the request, if you charge premiums for work done quickly, you will want to include this in the description.
Example High Value Lead Descriptions
Providing a well-crafted high value lead description allows our AI to better prioritize leads that align closely with your business goals. Below are examples tailored to various industries. Customize these examples to fit your unique needs and operational priorities.
HVAC Example
Prioritize customers reporting no heating or cooling in their homes, unusual noises from their HVAC system, or frequent breakdowns. Leads from customers mentioning older units (15+ years) needing replacement or those with energy efficiency concerns are high priority. Emergency calls for extreme weather conditions (e.g., heatwaves, cold snaps) should also be prioritized, especially for customers mentioning health concerns or households with young children or elderly residents.
Symptoms to Listen For:
- "No air conditioning, and it’s over 90 degrees outside."
- "The system is 18 years old and needs constant repairs."
- "The heating just stopped, and we have small children."
Roofer Example
High-value leads include customers needing full roof replacements, major repairs due to storm damage, or emergency leak repairs. Prioritize inquiries from customers experiencing severe issues like water intrusion, visible structural damage, or large areas of missing shingles. Leads mentioning older roofs (15+ years), interest in high-quality materials (like metal or tile), or customers seeking comprehensive inspections before a property sale should also be prioritized.
General Handyman Example
Prioritize leads for projects that require multiple skills or longer durations, such as home renovations, remodeling, or repairs in high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms. High-value leads include clients needing urgent repairs to prevent further damage, such as fixing leaks, electrical issues, or structural concerns. Requests for ongoing maintenance plans, especially for rental properties or commercial spaces, are also valuable. Clients mentioning time-sensitive needs, like preparing a property for sale or a new tenant, should be prioritized.

Real Estate Agency Example
High-value leads are clients ready to buy or sell within the next 1-3 months, especially those looking for properties in high-demand areas or price ranges. Leads from clients relocating for work or family reasons, or those looking for investment properties, are particularly valuable. Urgent needs, such as clients needing to close quickly or facing lease expirations, should be prioritized.
Symptoms to Listen For:

Urgent cases should be prioritized, especially for pets showing symptoms that indicate immediate medical attention.
Symptoms to Listen For:
