How to tell the difference between alerts vs. leads

Understanding the Difference Between Alerts and Leads in Probate Data

1. Leads

• Delivery: Leads are emailed directly to your inbox for your preferred counties (e.g., Los Angeles or San Diego).
• Access: Open the email, click the provided CSV or PDF file, and download it instantly to your computer.
• Prospecting: No need to log into Probate Data; you can start working on leads immediately.

2. Alerts

• Setup: Alerts are customizable notifications for counties you may not subscribe to (e.g., Clark County, Nevada).
• Criteria: Set specific filters, such as properties with phone numbers and email addresses or those marked as available.
• Access: Alerts generate an email notification containing a link to search results in Probate Data, where you can select and download the data.
• Flexibility: Unlimited alerts can be created, each tailored to different criteria or markets of interest.

3. Key Difference

• Leads: Delivered automatically for subscribed counties, ready to download directly from your inbox.
• Alerts: Require you to log in to Probate Data, view search results, and manually select and download the data.

Summary: Use leads for automated updates on subscribed counties and alerts for custom notifications in additional markets, ensuring you stay informed and proactive in your prospecting efforts.
