When leads come in for sales staff, they are assigned with follow-up tasks to be completed.  As new leads come into the facility, referral sources are tracked to identify efforts that are producing the greatest number of referrals.

To help maximize leads and referrals, wait list management can be performed in the system to help notify potential residents the moment beds are available.  Post-discharge marketing activities can be automated as well.
