Transform lead chaos into clarity with automated color coding that instantly shows which leads need immediate attention, which are engaged, and which are slipping away.

Fewer Neglected Leads
Higher Productivity
Better Conversions
Less Time Assessing Pipeline
Sales teams lose millions in revenue every year because leads fall through the cracks. Without visual prioritization, sales reps waste precious time opening individual records, manually tracking follow-up dates, and guessing which leads need attention first.
Traditional CRM systems force users to rely on memory, manual filters, or time-consuming reports to understand lead status. This reactive approach leads to missed opportunities, frustrated prospects, and declining conversion rates.
Salesboom's Color Coding feature provides an automated visual alert system that eliminates guesswork from lead prioritization.
The system automatically assigns colors to leads based on specific conditions, allowing sales teams to identify priorities instantly without opening individual records.
In the Leads tab, each lead row displays a colored indicator representing its current status. Sales reps and managers can scan their pipeline in seconds, immediately seeing which leads require urgent attention and which are being properly nurtured.
The Color Coding system works automatically in the background, continuously monitoring lead activity and applying color rules without any manual intervention. When a lead is created, the system immediately assigns the appropriate color. When contact is made, the color updates instantly. When a lead goes untouched beyond your threshold, the alert color appears automatically.
Color Coding transforms your leads list into a real-time dashboard that reveals pipeline health at a glance. Sales managers can instantly assess team performance, identify bottlenecks, and spot neglected opportunities without running reports or drilling into data.
All colors are fully customizable to match your team's workflow and preferences
Leads actively engaged in your sales process
Just created but haven't been contacted yet
No contact within your defined timeframe
Setting up Color Coding takes minutes but delivers ongoing benefits for your entire sales organization. The intuitive configuration interface makes it easy to customize colors, define conditions, and enable or disable rules based on your workflow.
Navigate to the Leads section of your Salesboom CRM, then click Color Coding under Lead Tools or Settings.
The configuration screen displays all available color rules in a simple table format with five key columns.
Click the color picker icon to select new colors that match your preferences or company branding.
Use checkboxes to activate or deactivate each rule, giving you complete control over visual alerts.
Shows the color currently assigned to each lead condition, giving you a visual preview of how leads will appear in your list before making changes.
Clear labels associated with each condition (New Lead, Contacted Lead, Neglected Lead) make it easy to understand what each color represents.
System rules that trigger color assignments run continuously in the background. Examples include "New created Lead," "Lead has been contacted," and "Lead not contacted within 14 days."
Customize colors to match your preferences or company branding. Simply click the icon and select a new shade from the full color spectrum.
Checkboxes activate or deactivate each rule. Unchecking a condition tells the system to ignore that color rule, giving you complete flexibility.
Businesses implementing Color Coding report significant, measurable improvements across key sales metrics. These results come from the compound effect of faster response times, better follow-up discipline, and improved pipeline management.
Average first contact time decreases by 35-50% when sales teams use visual prioritization. New leads receive attention within hours instead of days because they're impossible to miss in a color-coded list.
Neglected leads drop by 60-75% as visual alerts prompt timely follow-up. The red color indicator creates urgency and accountability that manual tracking cannot match.
Reps handle 20-30% more leads without additional headcount because they spend less time on administrative prioritization and more time on actual selling activities.
Lead-to-opportunity conversion rates improve by 15-25% as a direct result of faster response times and more consistent follow-up. Prospects who receive timely attention are significantly more likely to advance through the pipeline.
Sales managers report 90% reduction in time spent assessing pipeline health. What used to require reports and spreadsheet analysis now takes a single glance at the color-coded lead list.
With visible status indicators, sales reps take greater ownership of follow-up responsibility. Accountability increases because neglected leads are visible to managers and peers.
Color Coding adapts to diverse industries and sales processes, delivering value across B2B, B2C, and hybrid business models.
Agents prioritize hot buyer leads requiring immediate property showings (red) while maintaining contact with warm prospects (yellow) and nurtured long-term clients (green). Color coding ensures no motivated buyer falls through the cracks during busy market periods.
Law firms, accounting practices, and consulting agencies use color coding to manage client inquiries, proposal follow-ups, and referral opportunities. The visual system helps allocate partner time to the most promising prospects while junior staff handle routine inquiries.
B2B manufacturers track quote requests, sample requests, and price inquiries using color-coded prioritization. Large-volume quotes receive immediate attention while smaller inquiries are handled efficiently but appropriately.
SaaS companies manage free trial users, demo requests, and inbound leads from multiple marketing channels. Color coding ensures high-intent prospects receive immediate sales contact while marketing continues nurturing early-stage leads.
Medical equipment suppliers and healthcare service providers prioritize urgent patient referrals, equipment repair requests, and routine supply reorders using visual status indicators that align with patient care priorities.
Insurance agencies, wealth management firms, and mortgage brokers track policy renewals, client review appointments, and cross-sell opportunities. Color coding helps advisors maintain consistent client contact while pursuing new business.
