How do I reassign someone's leads after an employee has been terminated?

When a salesperson is no longer employed, you need to be able to quickly and easily reassign all of their leads to another employee. There are two ways to achieve this.

Needed Permission

To start off with, you'll need to have the "Assign / Reassign Leads" permission. This is located in Settings -> Company Settings -> Roles & Permissions.

Reassign a Single Lead

There's two simple ways to reassign a single lead.

Method 1

From the Sales Tab locate the quote information panel and select the current salesperson's name.

Then, select the salesperson's name to whom you would like to reassign the lead.

Method 2

From the estimate tab locate the quote information panel and select the current salesperson's name.

From the Sales Tab locate the quote information panel and select the current salesperson's name.

Reassign Leads in Bulk

However, you will most likely have many leads/opportunities that you want to reassign and doing it one by one is not ideal.

To start off, make sure the employee is not marked as terminated yet. You can view this in Settings -> Company Settings -> User Management, then select your user. Put the terminated date in the future (or clear it out).

With that done, now go to Sales -> My Leads. From here, let's make sure you have the proper selections made:

  • "Active" filter selected.

  • The terminated employee selected in the top left.

  • Checkbox in the header row selected.

Next, select the "Assign to user" option. Then select the employee you want to reassign the leads to.

How to Ensure You Have Reassigned All Leads for that User
If the employee had a lot of active leads/opportunities, then you may have multiple "pages" of results. You will want to keep refreshing the page after bulk assigning and repeating the process until they are all reassigned.

Once you have reassigned all of the leads that are in the "Active" section you will want to repeat this process to bulk reassign for the other filters too - especially the "Accepted" and "Booked" sections.
