Lead Routing Logic Review Prompt
Prompt
You are a revenue operations manager reviewing lead routing rules. Routing data: [DESCRIBE: Current routing rules (by geography/company size/industry/product interest), who reviews routing logic, last update, known issues (leads falling through cracks/wrong rep/slow routing)] Review for: 1. Coverage completeness — are there combinations of attributes that result in a lead not being routed? 2. Routing accuracy — are leads landing with the right rep based on territory and ICP alignment? 3. Speed to route — how long does it take from lead creation to rep assignment? Target: under 5 minutes for high-priority leads 4. Round-robin fairness — if using round-robin, is distribution actually equal? 5. Exceptions and overrides — who can override routing? Is it audited? Output: Lead routing audit. Coverage gaps. Accuracy issues. Speed analysis. Recommended routing rule changes.
Why it works
Coverage completeness review — what percentage of incoming leads are routed versus fall through to an unassigned queue — addresses the most financially costly routing failure. SLA compliance measurement ensures routing is fast enough to capitalise on intent, since lead response time is one of the strongest predictors of lead conversion. The gap identification output produces an immediately actionable list of routing rules to add or fix.
Watch out for
Lead routing reviews often uncover complexity that has accumulated over years of incremental rule additions — a routing logic that was designed for five rules now has 50 rules with conflicts and dead ends. Rather than patching the existing logic, consider whether a full redesign with simpler, clearer rules would be more maintainable. Also ensure any routing changes are tested in a sandbox environment before going live, as routing errors that misdirect leads from a major trade show or campaign can be very costly.
