# CRM for recruiters

> Find your driver leads, work through today's calls and texts, and keep track of what happens next.

Open **CRM** in the rail. It brings your assigned leads and personal lists into one table. Owners and Admins also have **My leads** and **Team** tabs; recruiters work with their own leads.

**Watch: your shift in 4 steps · 42 seconds**

The walkthrough uses example data. It follows the same four steps as [Start your shift](#start-your-shift) below.

## CRM, Contacts, or Inbox?

| Open | When you want to |
| - | - |
| **CRM** | Work a recruiting list, update a driver's status, or schedule a follow-up |
| **Contacts** | Manage your phonebook and who can access a contact |
| **Inbox** | Read and answer conversations, find calls, or manage tasks |

You don't need to save a lead to Contacts before calling or texting from CRM. Importing a recruiting list doesn't automatically add everyone to the phonebook.

## Start your shift

**1. Open Today**

Choose **Today** and **All lists** to see work across your lists. Replies waiting for you come first, followed by promised callbacks and due plan steps. Leads you've worked today also stay in this view.

**2. Read before you call**

Select a driver. Check **Notes**, **Last contact**, **Next follow-up**, and **Activity** in the lead panel so you don't repeat a conversation or miss a promise.

**3. Call or text**

Use the call or text button on the lead. After a connected call, review the result, status, note, and next follow-up. See [Calling and wrap-up](https://support.vocal.solutions/crm/calling.md).

**4. Set the next action**

If you promised to call again, set **Next follow-up** before moving on. A conversation can stop the follow-up plan, so don't assume it will schedule another attempt for you. See [Callbacks and plans](https://support.vocal.solutions/crm/follow-ups.md).

## Find a lead

Choose a list to work through that batch, or **All lists** to work across them. Search by name or phone number; search also checks notes and lead details. Clear search and status filters if someone seems to be missing.

| View | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Today** | Replies, callbacks and plan steps that need attention, plus leads worked today |
| **All leads** | Your leads, including ones with no action due today |
| **Replied** | Leads waiting for your response |
| **Due** | Promised callbacks due today or overdue |
| **Not contacted** | Open leads you haven't contacted |
| **Awaiting reply** | Leads you texted last who haven't answered |

**Due** is for promises. Use **Today** to include the follow-up plan's due calls and texts too. A lead with no running plan and no callback may be in **All leads** without appearing in **Today**.

## Make the table yours

Use the column controls to show, hide, reorder, or resize columns. Click a column header and choose **Sort ascending** or **Sort descending**. Your layout is saved for you; changing it doesn't rearrange a teammate's table.

The default Today sort prioritizes work that needs an answer. If you've sorted by another column, change the sort back when you want that order again.

## No leads yet?

Click **Request leads** to ask your manager for leads, or **Upload your own list** to [import a spreadsheet](https://support.vocal.solutions/crm/importing-leads.md). Once you have lists, these are **Request leads** and **New list** in the toolbar. Leads still in the team's **Pool** reach you only after an Owner or Admin hands them out.

> **[Import your leads](https://support.vocal.solutions/crm/importing-leads.md)**
>
> Paste a sheet, upload a file, and check names and numbers before importing.

> **[Fix a problem](https://support.vocal.solutions/crm/troubleshooting.md)**
>
> Missing leads, counts that haven't changed, disabled buttons, and unsaved edits.
