-
Find couples fast – Use the search bar to locate leads by name, email address, or phone number.
-
Custom-label your leads – Highlight what matters most: mark VIPs, hot leads, or “Attended Open Day” couples for quick recognition.
-
Track progress with stages – Follow each lead’s journey, from enquiry to booked and beyond.
-
Assign lead owners – Ensure every lead has a clear point of contact, keeping team communication smooth.
-
Choose your view – Use the classic table layout or switch to Pipeline View for a visual, stage-based overview.
Stay organised with custom labels 📝
Create labels that suit your workflow - from “VIP” to “Attended Open Day.” Labels make it easy to organise, sort, and prioritise leads.
🏷️ To create a new label, simply click the label menu and hit ‘+ New’ at the bottom.
🔥 A Hot Lead label is applied automatically to couples who are more likely to convert, based on the details they’ve provided - an easy way to spot high-potential leads at a glance!
Keep a clear overview of every couple’s journey by moving leads through stages:
- Lead – A new enquiry ✨
- Qualified – For couples suited to your business ✅
- Viewing Scheduled – An appointment has been arranged 💒
- Awaiting Couple’s Decision – They’re considering their options ⏳
- Date on Hold – A date has been tentatively reserved 📅
- Booked – The couple has chosen your venue 💍
- Wedding Completed – The big day has happened 🎉
- Lost – The couple has gone in another direction 💔
💡 Updating stages regularly helps you prioritise hot opportunities and follow up at the right time.
Assign leads for better team coordination 🏆
Assign an owner to each lead to ensure follow-ups are clear and consistent. This is especially helpful for larger teams or busy seasons.
💡Assigned leads mean no couple slips through the cracks.
Find what you need in a snap with filters 🕵️
Filter by status, label, owner, message date, source, and more, to quickly get to the info you need. You can also export your filtered results with just a click.
💡Your filters are right in the top left corner of Couples Manager - give them a try!
Find couples quickly with the new search bar 🔍
Looking for a specific couple? Use the search bar to find leads by name, email address, or phone number.
💡Perfect for checking in on a lead or grabbing details during a call.
Couples Manager shows you the source of every lead, so you know where they're coming from. You’ll see:
- Bridebook Lead – Sent via your Bridebook listing
- Widget Lead – Sent via the enquiry widget on your own website
💡 Shape your communication style based on the lead source to create a more tailored experience.
Choose your view – Table or Pipeline 📌
Stick with the familiar table layout or switch to the new Pipeline View for a visual snapshot of your leads, sorted by stage.-2.gif?width=598&height=399&name=couples-manager-en%20(1)-2.gif)
