Leads are the lifeline of your industry. In the Supply Cart you can purchase different types of Leads to suit your needs. Be sure to take advantage of this great tool.
Once in the cart, you can choose from a variety of leads and then further determine how many you would like of each, and the final cost will be.
Be wise, but also don’t be afraid to try out new types of leads to see where success with each one will take you!
Accessing LeadHub

You can access LeadHub anywhere, whether it be on desktop or your mobile phone the platform will follow you wherever business takes you! Once you are logged onto your Agent Portal in the top left-hand corner there is an icon with the silhouette of a person, titled “LEADHUB.” Click on that icon, and a drop-down menu bar will appear to where you can make the selection “LeadHub Dashboard.”
