Introduction
LeadMaster wants you to implement our software successfully. We’ve found two critical factors that help our customers succeed:
Your dedicated LeadMaster consultant: This person will always be your primary contact with LeadMaster.

We think if you have had this experience, you’ll appreciate your dedicated consultant.
LeadMaster is highly customizable: Our software is designed to be customized to fit your business, not the other way around. To make the system work for you, you’ll want to have a variety of components set up and customized.
LeadMaster consultants are seasoned professionals. Whether your goal is simply to generate better leads or to manage your entire sales and marketing process, LeadMaster is here to help. In fact, we’ve helped hundreds of companies from virtually every industry.

We begin to build your system by creating a secure workgroup just for you. This is where all of your data will reside. We suggest you provide us with a file of your sample data as soon as you can for the set up. We begin customization of Fields and Page Layout, Create Templates, Quotes, Custom Forms, and Workflows that were agreed upon.
After the initial set up we like to follow up with you to review the business process, templates, workflows, and custom forms to make sure it works for your business before we train the admin and end users.
