ILS lead volume outpaces team capacity
Hundreds of ILS leads per community per month, dozens of leasing agents — math does not work.
Most ILS leads get one touch or none.

The Problem
Source attribution gets lost
ILS source data drops between platforms.
Marketing cannot prove which ILS leases.
Speed-to-lead lags by source
Some ILSs feed instantly, some delay. Teams react inconsistently.
Conversion variance by source for no good reason.
Aged ILS leads never get re-worked
A 30-day-old Zillow lead is invisible.
Spend wasted, pipeline wasted.
How Frontdesk Works
