Leads tracks everyone who messaged but has not ordered, through New, Contacted, Qualified, Converted or Unqualified; Convert pre-fills an order form with their details.
Enquiries that do not buy straight away get forgotten.
5 steps, in this order. Each one is explained in the step-by-step guide.
Use a simple pipeline with clear statuses: New, Contacted, Qualified, Converted and Unqualified. Move each lead along as you follow up, so nothing gets forgotten. In Pludor, open Leads under Outreach & CRM (or Answering) and update each lead's status as you go.
A lead pipeline is just a list of potential customers tracked through stages from first enquiry to purchase. If people message you and don't buy straight away, you need one — those enquiries are where most sales are lost. Pludor's Leads Pipeline is built for exactly this and is included on every plan, including Free.
Most CRM tools charge per seat or per contact, which gets expensive as you grow. Pludor includes its Leads Pipeline on every store plan, including the $0 Free plan — you get a free amount of usage each month and pay only for what you use beyond that, at 1 credit = 1 cent.
Keep the customer's info attached to the lead, then convert it into an order when they're ready. In Pludor, press Convert on a lead and it pre-fills an order form with their details, so checkout takes seconds instead of copy-pasting.
Set up automation so forgotten leads get nudged automatically. On Pludor's Scale plan, turn on the Stale Leads automation, and use Automation Rules to trigger actions like sending a template or creating a nudge when a new lead comes in.
It depends on your setup. The big difference with Pludor is that conversations, leads, orders and campaigns share one customer record because the store and inbox are the same system — the inbox knows the orders, no integration needed. Pricing is also usage-based instead of per-seat, and it's included in store plans rather than a separate subscription.
Use labels and statuses together: statuses show where a lead is in the journey, labels group them by whatever matters to you. In Pludor, add color labels under Labels in the Operations menu, assign them to leads, and filter by label — you can even use a label as a campaign audience.
Reference what they asked about, answer their question directly, and end with one clear next step like booking or buying. Pludor has a free Customer Follow-up Message Writer tool — tell it about the lead and it drafts the message for you, with free runs every hour and no account needed.
Yes — connect your channels to a unified inbox so every conversation lands in one place. In Pludor, open Channels in the Operations menu to connect WhatsApp, SMS or email, then work everything from the Inbox while tracking the same people in Leads. Save common answers as templates to reply faster.
Start simple: one list, five statuses, and a habit of updating each lead after every contact. The stages New, Contacted, Qualified, Converted and Unqualified cover most service businesses.
