Lead Source explained
A lead source is the channel or list type that produced a seller lead, such as cold calling, SMS, direct mail, PPC, probate, or referrals. In a wholesale operation, the term matters because it connects the seller conversation to a real next step instead of leaving the team with vague notes.
Tracking lead source helps wholesalers decide where to spend time and budget instead of guessing which campaigns work. VA Horizon cares about this because callers, lead managers, and acquisitions teams all need the same language inside the CRM. When the term is tagged correctly, follow-up becomes cleaner, handoffs improve, and the operator can see whether the lead is worth more time.
Lead source tracking only works if callers and CRM stages are clean; messy attribution creates bad decisions.
Example
A CRM shows that high-equity absentee cold calls produced fewer leads than probate lists but better appointment quality.
